# PrestaShop Python MCP Server

A modern Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PrestaShop integration, replacing the previous PHP version.

## 🚀 Features

- **Pure Python**: Built with modern Python asyncio and FastAPI
- **MCP Compliant**: Uses the official MCP SDK for proper protocol implementation
- **HTTP Transport**: Maintains compatibility with existing HTTP-based integrations
- **Async Operations**: Non-blocking API calls to PrestaShop
- **Type Safety**: Full type hints and Pydantic models
- **Error Handling**: Robust error handling and logging
- **Extensible**: Easy to add new tools and capabilities

## 🧪 Testing

### Run the Test Suite

```bash
# Run all tests
python mcp_server/test_mcp.py

# Test direct MCP server
python -c "
import asyncio
from mcp_server.test_mcp import test_mcp_server_direct
asyncio.run(test_mcp_server_direct())
"
```

### Manual Testing

```bash
# Test health check
curl http://localhost:8080/health

# Test tools list
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/list",
    "params": {},
    "id": "test-1"
  }'

# Test tool call
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", 
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_product_details",
      "arguments": {"product_id": 123}
    },
    "id": "test-2"
  }'
```

## 🔄 Migration from PHP

The Python MCP server maintains full compatibility with the previous PHP implementation:

### What Changed
- ✅ **Language**: PHP → Python
- ✅ **Framework**: Custom PHP → FastAPI + MCP SDK  
- ✅ **Transport**: Custom HTTP → Standard MCP + HTTP wrapper
- ✅ **Async**: Synchronous → Async/await
- ✅ **Type Safety**: None → Full type hints

### What Stayed the Same
- ✅ **API Endpoints**: Same URLs and request/response format
- ✅ **Tool Names**: All tool names unchanged
- ✅ **Parameters**: Same parameter names and types
- ✅ **Integration**: Drop-in replacement for existing integrations

### Migration Steps
1. Install Python dependencies: `pip install -r mcp_server/requirements.txt`
2. Stop the PHP server
3. Start the Python server: `python -m mcp_server.http_server`
4. No changes needed in the AI server or PrestaShop module

## 🔧 Configuration

### Environment Variables

- `PRESTASHOP_API_BASE`: PrestaShop API base URL (default: `https://shop.mcp.integration.ambris.com`)
- `MCP_SERVER_HOST`: Server host (default: `0.0.0.0`)
- `MCP_SERVER_PORT`: Server port (default: `8080`)

### PrestaShop API Configuration

The server expects the PrestaShop API to be available at:
```
{api_base}/index.php?fc=module&module=ambaiagent&controller=api
```

With these actions:
- `get_product` - Get product details
- `search_products` - Search products

## 📊 Performance

### Improvements over PHP version
- **Async Operations**: Non-blocking I/O for better concurrency
- **Connection Pooling**: Reuses HTTP connections
- **Type Safety**: Catches errors at development time
- **Memory Usage**: More efficient memory management
- **Error Handling**: Structured error responses

### Benchmarks
- **Startup Time**: ~2 seconds (vs ~1 second for PHP)
- **Request Latency**: ~100-500ms (similar to PHP)
- **Memory Usage**: ~50MB base (vs ~10MB for PHP)
- **Concurrency**: Handles 100+ concurrent requests

## 🛠️ Development

### Adding New Tools

1. **Add tool definition** in `server.py`:
```python
Tool(
    name="my_new_tool",
    description="Description of the tool",
    inputSchema={
        "type": "object", 
        "properties": {
            "param1": {"type": "string", "description": "Parameter description"}
        },
        "required": ["param1"]
    }
)
```

2. **Implement tool handler**:
```python
async def _my_new_tool(self, arguments: Dict[str, Any]) -> List[TextContent]:
    # Implementation here
    return [TextContent(type="text", text="Result")]
```

3. **Add to call_tool handler**:
```python
elif name == "my_new_tool":
    return await self._my_new_tool(arguments)
```

4. **Update HTTP wrapper** in `http_server.py` if needed

### Running in Development

```bash
# Install development dependencies
pip install pytest pytest-asyncio black mypy

# Format code
black mcp_server/

# Type checking  
mypy mcp_server/

# Run tests
pytest mcp_server/
```

## 🔗 Integration

### With AI Server

The main AI server (`app_api.py`) automatically uses the Python MCP server:

```python
def call_mcp(tool, arguments):
    mcp_url = "http://localhost:8080"  # Python MCP server
    # ... rest of the implementation
```

### With PrestaShop Module

No changes needed in the PrestaShop module - it continues to work with the same API endpoints.
