Eyal Toledano 4cf7e8a74a Refactor: Improve MCP logging, update E2E & tests
Refactors MCP server logging and updates testing infrastructure.

- MCP Server:

  - Replaced manual logger wrappers with centralized `createLogWrapper` utility.

  - Updated direct function calls to use `{ session, mcpLog }` context.

  - Removed deprecated `model` parameter from analyze, expand-all, expand-task tools.

  - Adjusted MCP tool import paths and parameter descriptions.

- Documentation:

  - Modified `docs/configuration.md`.

  - Modified `docs/tutorial.md`.

- Testing:

  - E2E Script (`run_e2e.sh`):

    - Removed `set -e`.

    - Added LLM analysis function (`analyze_log_with_llm`) & integration.

    - Adjusted test run directory creation timing.

    - Added debug echo statements.

  - Deleted Unit Tests: Removed `ai-client-factory.test.js`, `ai-client-utils.test.js`, `ai-services.test.js`.

  - Modified Fixtures: Updated `scripts/task-complexity-report.json`.

- Dev Scripts:

  - Modified `scripts/dev.js`.

# Configuration
Taskmaster uses two primary methods for configuration:
1. **`.taskmasterconfig` File (Project Root - Recommended for most settings)**
- This JSON file stores most configuration settings, including AI model selections, parameters, logging levels, and project defaults.
- **Location:** This file is created in the root directory of your project when you run the `task-master models --setup` interactive setup. You typically do this during the initialization sequence. Do not manually edit this file beyond adjusting Temperature and Max Tokens depending on your model.
- **Management:** Use the `task-master models --setup` command (or `models` MCP tool) to interactively create and manage this file. You can also set specific models directly using `task-master models --set-<role>=<model_id>`, adding `--ollama` or `--openrouter` flags for custom models. Manual editing is possible but not recommended unless you understand the structure.
- **Example Structure:**
```json
{
"models": {
"main": {
"provider": "anthropic",
"modelId": "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219",
"maxTokens": 64000,
"temperature": 0.2
},
"research": {
"provider": "perplexity",
"modelId": "sonar-pro",
"maxTokens": 8700,
"temperature": 0.1
},
"fallback": {
"provider": "anthropic",
"modelId": "claude-3-5-sonnet",
"maxTokens": 64000,
"temperature": 0.2
}
},
"global": {
"logLevel": "info",
"debug": false,
"defaultSubtasks": 5,
"defaultPriority": "medium",
"projectName": "Your Project Name",
"ollamaBaseUrl": "http://localhost:11434/api",
"azureOpenaiBaseUrl": "https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/"
}
}
```
2. **Environment Variables (`.env` file or MCP `env` block - For API Keys Only)**
- Used **exclusively** for sensitive API keys and specific endpoint URLs.
- **Location:**
- For CLI usage: Create a `.env` file in your project root.
- For MCP/Cursor usage: Configure keys in the `env` section of your `.cursor/mcp.json` file.
- **Required API Keys (Depending on configured providers):**
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Anthropic API key.
- `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`: Your Perplexity API key.
- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your OpenAI API key.
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`: Your Google API key.
- `MISTRAL_API_KEY`: Your Mistral API key.
- `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your Azure OpenAI API key (also requires `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`).
- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`: Your OpenRouter API key.
- `XAI_API_KEY`: Your X-AI API key.
- **Optional Endpoint Overrides (in .taskmasterconfig):**
- `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`: Required if using Azure OpenAI key.
- `OLLAMA_BASE_URL`: Override the default Ollama API URL (Default: `http://localhost:11434/api`).
**Important:** Settings like model ID selections (`main`, `research`, `fallback`), `maxTokens`, `temperature`, `logLevel`, `defaultSubtasks`, `defaultPriority`, and `projectName` are **managed in `.taskmasterconfig`**, not environment variables.
## Example `.env` File (for API Keys)
```
# Required API keys for providers configured in .taskmasterconfig
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-your-key-here
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=pplx-your-key-here
# OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIzaSy...
# etc.
# Optional Endpoint Overrides
# AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=https://your-azure-endpoint.openai.azure.com/
# OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://custom-ollama-host:11434/api
```
## Troubleshooting
### Configuration Errors
- If Task Master reports errors about missing configuration or cannot find `.taskmasterconfig`, run `task-master models --setup` in your project root to create or repair the file.
- Ensure API keys are correctly placed in your `.env` file (for CLI) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (for MCP) and are valid for the providers selected in `.taskmasterconfig`.
### If `task-master init` doesn't respond:
Try running it with Node directly:
```bash
node node_modules/claude-task-master/scripts/init.js
```
Or clone the repository and run:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master.git
cd claude-task-master
node scripts/init.js
```
