# vMCP Configuration Manager - Modular Architecture

**Production-ready, modular architecture for managing Virtual Model Context Protocol (vMCP) configurations.**

---

## 📖 Overview

The vMCP Configuration Manager provides a clean, maintainable system for aggregating multiple MCP servers into unified virtual servers (vMCPs) with support for:

- **Custom Tools**: Prompt-based, Python, and HTTP tools
- **Custom Prompts**: Dynamic prompts with variable substitution
- **Custom Resources**: File uploads, widgets, and templates
- **Variable Substitution**: `@param`, `@config`, `@tool()`, `@resource`, `@prompt()`
- **Widget Support**: Full OpenAI Apps SDK integration
- **Security**: Sandboxed Python execution with timeouts
- **Authentication**: Bearer, API Key, Basic, and Custom auth for HTTP tools

## 🏗️ Architecture

### Modular Design (7 focused modules, 3,785 lines)

```
config_manager/
├── __init__.py         (27 lines)   → Public API exports
├── helpers.py          (209 lines)  → Utilities, widgets, AST helpers
├── core.py             (917 lines)  → CRUD operations, capability aggregation

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from vmcp.backend.vmcps.config_manager import VMCPConfigManager

# Initialize manager
manager = VMCPConfigManager(
    user_id=1,
    vmcp_id="my-vmcp"
)

# List aggregated tools from all servers
tools = await manager.tools_list()

# Execute a tool
from vmcp.backend.vmcps.models import VMCPToolCallRequest

result = await manager.call_tool(
    VMCPToolCallRequest(
        tool_name="servername_toolname",
        arguments={"param1": "value1"}
    )
)

# Get a resource
resource = await manager.get_resource("servername:resource_uri")

# Get a prompt
prompt = await manager.get_prompt("promptname", arguments={})
```

### Creating a vMCP

```python
vmcp_id = manager.create_vmcp_config(
    name="My Virtual MCP",
    description="Aggregates multiple MCP servers",
    vmcp_config={
        "selected_servers": [
            {"server_id": "server1", "name": "filesystem"},
            {"server_id": "server2", "name": "database"}
        ],
        "selected_tools": {
            "server1": ["read_file", "write_file"],
            "server2": ["query", "insert"]
        }
    },
    custom_tools=[
        {
            "name": "my_custom_tool",
            "tool_type": "prompt",
            "text": "Process @param.input with @config.API_KEY",
            "variables": [
                {"name": "input", "type": "str", "required": True}
            ]
        }
    ],
    environment_variables=[
        {"name": "API_KEY", "value": "secret-key"}
    ]
)
```

        self.mcp_config_manager = MCPConfigManager(user_id)
        self.mcp_client_manager = MCPClientManager(...)

        # Initialize submodules
        self.core = CoreOperations(self)
        self.execution = ExecutionManager(self)
        self.custom_tools = CustomToolsManager(self)
        self.parsing = ParsingEngine(self)

    # All public methods delegate to submodules
    async def tools_list(self):
        return await self.core.tools_list()

    async def call_tool(self, request):
        return await self.execution.call_tool(request)

## 🧪 Testing

### Run Verification Script
```bash
cd /Users/apple/Projects/1mcpXagentsNapps/oss
python VERIFY_CONFIG_MANAGER.py
```

### Unit Tests (TODO)
```bash
pytest tests/vmcp/backend/vmcps/config_manager/
```

---

## 🛠️ Development

### Adding a New Tool Type

1. **Add handler in `custom_tools.py`**:
```python
async def execute_new_tool_type(self, custom_tool, arguments, env_vars, tool_as_prompt):
    # Implementation here
    pass
```

2. **Update routing in `call_custom_tool()`**:
```python
elif tool_type == 'new_type':
    return await self.execute_new_tool_type(...)
```

3. **Update schema parsing if needed**

### Adding Variable Substitution Pattern

1. **Add pattern in `parsing.py` `parse_vmcp_text()`**:
```python
# Step N: Handle @newpattern references
new_pattern = r'@newpattern\.([\w\.]+)'
def replace_new(match):
    # Implementation
    pass
processed_text = re.sub(new_pattern, replace_new, processed_text)
```

---

## 📝 Migration from Monolithic

The modular architecture maintains **100% backward compatibility**:

```python
# Old code (still works)
manager = VMCPConfigManager(user_id=1, vmcp_id="test")
tools = await manager.tools_list()
result = await manager.call_tool(request)

# New modular structure (transparent to user)
# Internally uses: manager.core.tools_list()
# Internally uses: manager.execution.call_tool()
```

No code changes needed for existing consumers!
