# CLAUDE.md This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Development Commands ### Testing ```bash # Run all tests uv run pytest # Run integration tests only uv run pytest -m integration # Run tests with coverage uv run pytest --cov # Skip integration tests uv run pytest -m "not integration" ``` ### Load Testing ```bash # Run benchmark with default settings (10 workers, 30 seconds) uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark # Quick test with custom concurrency and duration uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark --concurrency 20 --duration 60 # Extended load test (50 workers for 5 minutes) uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark -c 50 -d 300 # Export results to JSON for analysis uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark -c 20 -d 60 --output results.json # Test OAuth server on port 8001 uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark --url http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp # Verbose mode with detailed logging uv run python -m tests.load.benchmark -c 10 -d 30 --verbose ``` **Load Testing Features:** - **Mixed workload** simulating realistic MCP usage (40% reads, 20% writes, 15% search, 25% other operations) - **Real-time progress** bar with live RPS and error counts - **Detailed metrics**: - Throughput (requests/second) - Latency percentiles (p50, p90, p95, p99) - Per-operation breakdown - Error rates and types - **Automatic cleanup** of test data - **JSON export** for CI/CD integration - **Server health checks** before starting **Understanding Results:** - **Requests/Second (RPS)**: Higher is better. Expected baseline: 50-200 RPS for mixed workload - **Latency**: - p50 (median): Should be <100ms for most operations - p95: Should be <500ms - p99: Should be <1000ms - **Error Rate**: Should be <1% under normal load **Common Bottlenecks:** 1. Nextcloud backend API response times (most common) 2. Database connection limits 3. HTTP client connection pooling 4. Network I/O between containers ### Code Quality ```bash # Format and lint code uv run ruff check uv run ruff format # Type checking # No explicit type checker configured - this is a Python project using ruff for linting ``` ### Running the Server ```bash # Local development - load environment variables and run export $(grep -v '^#' .env | xargs) mcp run --transport sse nextcloud_mcp_server.app:mcp # Docker development environment with Nextcloud instance docker-compose up # After code changes, rebuild and restart the appropriate MCP server container: # For basic auth changes (most common) - uses admin credentials docker-compose up --build -d mcp # For OAuth changes - uses OAuth authentication flow docker-compose up --build -d mcp-oauth # Build Docker image docker build -t nextcloud-mcp-server . ``` **Important: Two MCP Server Containers** - **`mcp`** (port 8000): Uses basic auth with admin credentials. Use this for most development and testing. - **`mcp-oauth`** (port 8001): Uses OAuth authentication. Only use this when working on OAuth-specific features or tests. ### Environment Setup ```bash # Install dependencies uv sync # Install development dependencies uv sync --group dev ``` ## Architecture Overview This is a Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides LLM integration with Nextcloud. The architecture follows a layered pattern: ### Core Components - **`nextcloud_mcp_server/app.py`** - Main MCP server entry point using FastMCP framework - **`nextcloud_mcp_server/client/`** - HTTP client implementations for different Nextcloud APIs - **`nextcloud_mcp_server/server/`** - MCP tool/resource definitions that expose client functionality - **`nextcloud_mcp_server/controllers/`** - Business logic controllers (e.g., notes search) ### Client Architecture - **`NextcloudClient`** - Main orchestrating client that manages all app-specific clients - **`BaseNextcloudClient`** - Abstract base class providing common HTTP functionality and retry logic - **App-specific clients**: `NotesClient`, `CalendarClient`, `ContactsClient`, `TablesClient`, `WebDAVClient` ### Server Integration Each Nextcloud app has a corresponding server module that: 1. Defines MCP tools using `@mcp.tool()` decorators 2. Defines MCP resources using `@mcp.resource()` decorators 3. Uses the context pattern to access the `NextcloudClient` instance ### Supported Nextcloud Apps - **Notes** - Full CRUD operations and search - **Calendar** - CalDAV integration with events, recurring events, attendees, and **tasks (VTODO)** - **Calendar Operations**: List, create, delete calendars - **Event Operations**: Full CRUD, recurring events, attendees, reminders, bulk operations - **Task Operations (VTODO)**: Full CRUD for CalDAV tasks with: - Status tracking (NEEDS-ACTION, IN-PROCESS, COMPLETED, CANCELLED) - Priority levels (0-9, 1=highest, 9=lowest) - Due dates, start dates, completion tracking - Percent complete (0-100%) - Categories and filtering - Search across all calendars - **Note**: Calendar implementation uses caldav library's AsyncDavClient - **Contacts** - CardDAV integration with address book operations - **Tables** - Row-level operations on Nextcloud Tables - **WebDAV** - Complete file system access ### Key Patterns 1. **Environment-based configuration** - Uses `NextcloudClient.from_env()` to load credentials from environment variables 2. **Async/await throughout** - All operations are async using httpx 3. **Retry logic** - `@retry_on_429` decorator handles rate limiting 4. **Context injection** - MCP context provides access to the authenticated client instance 5. **Modular design** - Each Nextcloud app is isolated in its own client/server pair ### MCP Response Patterns **CRITICAL: Never return raw `List[Dict]` from MCP tools - always wrap in Pydantic response models** FastMCP serialization issue: raw lists get mangled into dicts with numeric string keys. **Pattern:** 1. Client methods return `List[Dict]` (raw data) 2. MCP tools convert to Pydantic models and wrap in response object 3. Response models inherit from `BaseResponse`, include `results` field + metadata **Reference implementations:** - `SearchNotesResponse` in `nextcloud_mcp_server/models/notes.py:80` - `SearchFilesResponse` in `nextcloud_mcp_server/models/webdav.py:113` - Tool examples: `nextcloud_mcp_server/server/{notes,webdav}.py` **Testing:** Extract `data["results"]` from MCP responses, not `data` directly. ### Testing Structure - **Integration tests** in `tests/client/` and `tests/server/` - Test real Nextcloud API interactions - **Fixtures** in `tests/conftest.py` - Shared test setup and utilities - Tests are marked with `@pytest.mark.integration` for selective running - **Important**: Integration tests run against live Docker containers. After making code changes: - For basic auth tests: rebuild with `docker-compose up --build -d mcp` - For OAuth tests: rebuild with `docker-compose up --build -d mcp-oauth` #### Testing Best Practices - **MANDATORY: Always run tests after implementing features or fixing bugs** - Run tests to completion before considering any task complete - If tests require modifications to pass, ask for permission before proceeding - **Rebuild the correct container** after code changes: - For basic auth tests (most common): `docker-compose up --build -d mcp` - For OAuth tests: `docker-compose up --build -d mcp-oauth` - **Use existing fixtures** from `tests/conftest.py` to avoid duplicate setup work: - `nc_mcp_client` - MCP client session for tool/resource testing (uses `mcp` container) - `nc_mcp_oauth_client` - MCP client session for OAuth testing (uses `mcp-oauth` container) - `nc_client` - Direct NextcloudClient for setup/cleanup operations - `temporary_note` - Creates and cleans up test notes automatically - `temporary_addressbook` - Creates and cleans up test address books - `temporary_contact` - Creates and cleans up test contacts - **Test specific functionality** after changes: - For Notes changes: `uv run pytest tests/server/test_mcp.py -k "notes" -v` - For specific API changes: `uv run pytest tests/client/notes/test_notes_api.py -v` - For OAuth changes: `uv run pytest tests/server/test_oauth*.py -v` (remember to rebuild `mcp-oauth` container) - **Avoid creating standalone test scripts** - use pytest with proper fixtures instead #### OAuth/OIDC Testing OAuth integration tests use **automated Playwright browser automation** to complete the OAuth flow programmatically. **OAuth Testing Setup:** - **Main fixtures**: `nc_oauth_client`, `nc_mcp_oauth_client` - Use Playwright automation - **Shared OAuth Client**: All test users authenticate using a single OAuth client - Stored in `.nextcloud_oauth_shared_test_client.json` - Matches production MCP server behavior - Each user gets their own unique access token - Implementation: `shared_oauth_client_credentials` fixture in `tests/conftest.py` - **Available fixtures**: `playwright_oauth_token`, `nc_oauth_client`, `nc_mcp_oauth_client` - **Multi-user fixtures**: `alice_oauth_token`, `bob_oauth_token`, `charlie_oauth_token`, `diana_oauth_token` - **Requirements**: `NEXTCLOUD_HOST`, `NEXTCLOUD_USERNAME`, `NEXTCLOUD_PASSWORD` environment variables - Uses `pytest-playwright-asyncio` for async Playwright fixtures - **Playwright configuration**: Use pytest CLI args like `--browser firefox --headed` to customize - **Install browsers**: `uv run playwright install firefox` (or `chromium`, `webkit`) **Example Commands:** ```bash # Run all OAuth tests with Playwright automation using Firefox uv run pytest tests/server/test_oauth*.py --browser firefox -v # Run specific tests with visible browser for debugging uv run pytest tests/server/test_mcp_oauth.py --browser firefox --headed -v # Run with Chromium (default) uv run pytest tests/server/test_oauth*.py -v ``` **Test Environment:** - **Two MCP server containers are available:** - `mcp` (port 8000): Uses basic auth with admin credentials - for most testing - `mcp-oauth` (port 8001): Uses OAuth authentication - for OAuth-specific testing - Start OAuth MCP server: `docker-compose up --build -d mcp-oauth` - **Important**: When working on OAuth functionality, always rebuild `mcp-oauth` container, not `mcp` - OAuth client credentials cached in `.nextcloud_oauth_shared_test_client.json` **CI/CD Notes:** - Playwright tests run in CI/CD environments - Use Firefox browser in CI: `--browser firefox` (Chromium may have issues with localhost redirects) ### Configuration Files - **`pyproject.toml`** - Python project configuration using uv for dependency management - **`.env`** (from `env.sample`) - Environment variables for Nextcloud connection - **`docker-compose.yml`** - Complete development environment with Nextcloud + database ## Integration testing with docker ### Nextcloud - The `app` container is running nextcloud. - Use `docker compose exec app php occ ...` to get a list of available commands ### Mariadb - The `db` container is running mariadb - Use `docker compose exec db mariadb -u [user] -p [password] [database]` to execute queries. Check the docker-compose file for credentials
