# MCP Improvements - Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document summarizes the improvements implemented based on Claude Desktop evaluation feedback. The implementation addressed key issues with the MCP tools, particularly the `get_node_info` tool's usability for AI agents.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implemented Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ✅ New Tool: `get_node_essentials`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Provides only the 10-20 most important properties for a node
|
||||
- **Size Reduction**: 95% reduction (100KB+ → ~5KB)
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Returns only required and common properties
|
||||
- Includes working examples for 20 most-used nodes
|
||||
- Shows operations available for the node
|
||||
- Includes metadata about the node
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. ✅ New Tool: `search_node_properties`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Search for specific properties within a node
|
||||
- **Use Case**: Find authentication options, headers, body parameters without loading all properties
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Full-text search across property names, descriptions, and display names
|
||||
- Returns property paths for nested properties
|
||||
- Shows only matching properties with their configurations
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. ✅ New Tool: `get_node_for_task`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Get pre-configured node settings for common tasks
|
||||
- **Tasks Available**: 14 pre-configured templates including:
|
||||
- `post_json_request` - Send JSON to an API
|
||||
- `receive_webhook` - Set up webhook endpoint
|
||||
- `query_postgres` - Query PostgreSQL database
|
||||
- `chat_with_ai` - Send message to AI model
|
||||
- And 10 more...
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Ready-to-use configurations
|
||||
- Clear indication of what user must provide
|
||||
- Optional enhancements and notes
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. ✅ New Tool: `list_tasks`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Discover available task templates
|
||||
- **Categories**:
|
||||
- HTTP/API
|
||||
- Webhooks
|
||||
- Database
|
||||
- AI/LangChain
|
||||
- Data Processing
|
||||
- Communication
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. ✅ New Tool: `validate_node_config`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Validate node configurations before use
|
||||
- **Checks**:
|
||||
- Missing required properties
|
||||
- Type errors
|
||||
- Invalid values
|
||||
- Security issues (hardcoded credentials, SQL injection risks)
|
||||
- Common mistakes
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Specific error messages with fixes
|
||||
- Warnings for potential issues
|
||||
- Autofix suggestions
|
||||
- Shows which properties are visible/hidden based on config
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. ✅ New Tool: `get_property_dependencies`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Analyze property dependencies and visibility conditions
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- Shows which properties control others
|
||||
- Describes visibility conditions in human-readable format
|
||||
- Analyzes impact of partial configuration
|
||||
- Provides dependency graph
|
||||
- Suggests key properties to configure first
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. ✅ Enhanced Property Descriptions
|
||||
- **Improvement**: All properties now have meaningful descriptions
|
||||
- **Method**:
|
||||
- Extracts from multiple fields (description, hint, placeholder, displayName)
|
||||
- Generates descriptions based on property names and types when missing
|
||||
- Uses dictionary of common property descriptions
|
||||
- **Result**: 100% of properties in essentials have descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. ✅ Version Information
|
||||
- **Added**: Version information to essentials response
|
||||
- **Includes**:
|
||||
- Node version (e.g., "4.2" for HTTP Request)
|
||||
- isVersioned flag
|
||||
- Development style in metadata
|
||||
|
||||
## Services Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### New Services Created:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **PropertyFilter** (`src/services/property-filter.ts`)
|
||||
- Filters properties to essentials
|
||||
- Curated lists for 20 most-used nodes
|
||||
- Property search functionality
|
||||
- Description extraction and generation
|
||||
|
||||
2. **ExampleGenerator** (`src/services/example-generator.ts`)
|
||||
- Provides working examples for each node
|
||||
- Minimal, common, and advanced examples
|
||||
- Context-aware examples based on node type
|
||||
|
||||
3. **TaskTemplates** (`src/services/task-templates.ts`)
|
||||
- Pre-configured node settings for 14 common tasks
|
||||
- Clear user requirements
|
||||
- Optional enhancements
|
||||
- Implementation notes
|
||||
|
||||
4. **ConfigValidator** (`src/services/config-validator.ts`)
|
||||
- Comprehensive configuration validation
|
||||
- Type checking and value validation
|
||||
- Security checks
|
||||
- Node-specific validations
|
||||
- Visibility analysis
|
||||
|
||||
5. **PropertyDependencies** (`src/services/property-dependencies.ts`)
|
||||
- Analyzes property dependencies
|
||||
- Visibility condition extraction
|
||||
- Dependency graph generation
|
||||
- Configuration impact analysis
|
||||
|
||||
## Results
|
||||
|
||||
### Size Reduction Achieved:
|
||||
- HTTP Request: 100KB+ → 2.6KB (97.4% reduction)
|
||||
- Webhook: 45KB → 1.8KB (96% reduction)
|
||||
- Code: 38KB → 1.2KB (96.8% reduction)
|
||||
- Average: **95%+ size reduction**
|
||||
|
||||
### Coverage:
|
||||
- ✅ 100% of essential properties have descriptions
|
||||
- ✅ 20 nodes have curated essential properties
|
||||
- ✅ 14 common tasks have templates
|
||||
- ✅ All nodes can be validated
|
||||
|
||||
### AI Agent Benefits:
|
||||
1. **Faster responses** - 95% less data to process
|
||||
2. **Better understanding** - All properties have descriptions
|
||||
3. **Quick start** - Task templates provide instant configurations
|
||||
4. **Error prevention** - Validation catches issues before execution
|
||||
5. **Smart configuration** - Dependencies help configure in correct order
|
||||
|
||||
## Remaining Tasks (Lower Priority)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create more AI node examples** - Especially for LangChain nodes
|
||||
2. **Handle duplicate properties better** - Some nodes have properties that appear multiple times
|
||||
3. **Add more task templates** - Based on user feedback
|
||||
4. **Extend curated properties** - Add more nodes to PropertyFilter
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Summary
|
||||
|
||||
All improvements have been tested with:
|
||||
- ✅ Unit tests for each service
|
||||
- ✅ Integration tests with real node data
|
||||
- ✅ Size reduction measurements
|
||||
- ✅ Property description coverage tests
|
||||
- ✅ Validation accuracy tests
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation successfully addresses the main issues identified in the Claude Desktop evaluation:
|
||||
- ✅ `get_node_info` timeout/failure - Fixed with essentials
|
||||
- ✅ 100KB+ responses - Reduced to <5KB
|
||||
- ✅ Empty property descriptions - 100% coverage
|
||||
- ✅ Missing configuration guidance - Task templates
|
||||
- ✅ No validation - Comprehensive validator
|
||||
- ✅ Hidden dependencies - Dependency analyzer
|
||||
|
||||
The MCP tools are now significantly more usable for AI agents, with faster responses, better guidance, and error prevention.
