Summary

Optimized the Archon MCP server so it takes less tokens, there are less tools for the coding agent to pick from, and reorganized the codebase structure for MCP to make it more maintainable. Also added search functionality for projects and tasks to help power users not use way too many tokens when working on larger projects with a lot of tasks within Archon.

Changes Made

  • Consolidated MCP tools from ~20 to 8 tools for improved UX
  • Restructured to vertical slice architecture (features/domain pattern)
  • Optimized payload sizes with truncation and array count replacements
  • Changed default include_closed to true for better task visibility
  • Moved RAG module to features directory structure
  • Removed legacy modules directory in favor of feature-based organization
  • list_tasks, manage_task (create/update/delete consolidated)
  • list_projects, manage_project (create/update/delete consolidated)
  • list_documents, manage_document (create/update/delete consolidated)
  • list_versions, manage_version (create/restore consolidated)
  • Reduced default page size from 50 to 10 items
  • Added search query support to list operations

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Performance improvement
  • Code refactoring

Affected Services

  • Frontend (React UI)
  • Server (FastAPI backend)
  • MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)
  • Agents (PydanticAI service)
  • Database (migrations/schema)
  • Docker/Infrastructure
  • Documentation site

Testing

  • All existing tests pass
  • Added new tests for new functionality
  • Manually tested affected user flows
  • Docker builds succeed for all services

Test Evidence

To test this PR, I had Claude Code imitate going through a full feature implementation with creating a new project, creating tasks, performing RAG queries, moving tasks around the project, etc. to fully validate the MCP tool usage.

Checklist

  • My code follows the service architecture patterns
  • If using an AI coding assistant, I used the CLAUDE.md rules
  • I have added tests that prove my fix/feature works
  • All new and existing tests pass locally
  • My changes generate no new warnings
  • I have updated relevant documentation
  • I have verified no regressions in existing features

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes - what is possible with the MCP server is still the same, just less tools and more optimized.

Additional Notes

Right now the documents and versions MCP tools are disabled since those have to be reworked a lot (docs is put under migration in the UI right now anyway).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Unified manage/list tools for tasks, projects, documents, and versions with single-item fetch, filtering, pagination (default 10) and keyword search for tasks.
    • Project creation reports progress and auto-polls until completion.
    • RAG/knowledge tools exposed via a new module with clearer command names.
  • Refactor

    • CRUD operations consolidated into action-based manage endpoints; list responses use optimized, lighter payloads (truncated/omitted large fields).
    • Tasks default include_closed now true.
  • Documentation

    • MCP instructions and coding guidelines updated for consolidated tooling.

Walkthrough

Consolidates per-entity CRUD tools into dual-purpose find/list and action-based manage_* tools (projects, tasks, documents, versions); standardizes pagination/optimization, adds keyword search for tasks, renames and re-exports RAG tooling, and updates MCP/server API wiring and tests accordingly.

Poem

A rabbit taps keys with a tidy delight,
Merging CRUD into streams, two tools to unite.
Lists trimmed lean, pages set just right—
Manage with actions, control flows light.
RAG learned new names; search hops into sight. 🐇✨

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)
Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description Check ❓ Inconclusive The PR description closely follows the repository template and documents Summary, Changes Made, Type of Change, Affected Services, Testing, Checklist, and Additional Notes, reflecting the consolidation and optimization described in the raw changes. However it lacks concrete test evidence (no pytest/Docker command output), some checklist items appear inconsistent with the changes (e.g., tests/docs), and it asserts "No breaking changes" despite many removed/renamed public MCP tools and API signature changes that could be breaking for callers. Because of these gaps and the potential breaking impact I cannot conclusively verify the description's accuracy without clarifying details. Please add concrete test evidence (exact pytest commands and their outputs plus Docker build logs), update checklist items to reflect added/modified tests and documentation, and explicitly enumerate any breaking API changes with migration steps for callers (list removed/renamed tools and changed defaults like include_closed and page size), and clarify the status and timeline for the disabled documents/versions tools.
✅ Passed checks (2 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title Check ✅ Passed The title accurately captures the primary change set—MCP server optimization, tool consolidation, and a vertical-slice refactor—and aligns with the PR objectives and the changed files. It is a short, focused single sentence that conveys the developer-facing impact. The displayed title appears truncated with an ellipsis, so confirm the full title text is not cut off in the PR UI.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed No functions found in the changes. Docstring coverage check skipped.

Tip

👮 Agentic pre-merge checks are now available in preview!

Pro plan users can now enable pre-merge checks in their settings to enforce checklists before merging PRs.

  • Built-in checks – Quickly apply ready-made checks to enforce title conventions, require pull request descriptions that follow templates, validate linked issues for compliance, and more.
  • Custom agentic checks – Define your own rules using CodeRabbit’s advanced agentic capabilities to enforce organization-specific policies and workflows. For example, you can instruct CodeRabbit’s agent to verify that API documentation is updated whenever API schema files are modified in a PR. Note: Upto 5 custom checks are currently allowed during the preview period. Pricing for this feature will be announced in a few weeks.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Example:

reviews:
  pre_merge_checks:
    custom_checks:
      - name: "Undocumented Breaking Changes"
        mode: "warning"
        instructions: |
          Pass/fail criteria: All breaking changes to public APIs, CLI flags, environment variables, configuration keys, database schemas, or HTTP/GraphQL endpoints must be documented in the "Breaking Change" section of the PR description and in CHANGELOG.md. Exclude purely internal or private changes (e.g., code not exported from package entry points or explicitly marked as internal).

423-435: Update “MCP Tools Available” to match consolidated API and renamed RAG tools.

List shows deprecated tool names. Replace with consolidated/manage APIs and rag_* names.

Apply:

-- `archon:perform_rag_query` - Search knowledge base
-- `archon:search_code_examples` - Find code snippets
-...
-- `archon:create_task` - Create task in project
-- `archon:list_tasks` - List and filter tasks
-- `archon:update_task` - Update task status/details
-- `archon:get_available_sources` - List knowledge sources
+- `archon:rag_search_knowledge_base` - Search knowledge base
+- `archon:rag_search_code_examples` - Find code snippets
+- `archon:list_tasks` - List/search tasks (paginated, optimized)
+- `archon:manage_task` - Create/Update/Delete tasks
+- `archon:rag_get_available_sources` - List knowledge sources

Also note defaults now: include_closed=true, per_page=10.

python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py (1)

658-667: Align defaults with PR: include_closed=True, per_page=10.

Route defaults still at False/50; update to match consolidated tooling and docs.

     exclude_large_fields: bool = False,
     q: str | None = None,  # Search query parameter
 ):
python/src/mcp_server/mcp_server.py (5)

35-41: Fix import path: wrong sys.path root prevents src.* imports.

sys.path.insert points to python/src, but from src.server... requires the parent (python). This will raise ModuleNotFoundError on startup.

Apply:

-# Add the project root to Python path for imports
-sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent))
+# Add the project root (folder that contains "src") to Python path
+sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent.parent))

200-213: Instructions reference non-existent tool names.

Replace perform_rag_query/search_code_examples with registered tool names to prevent client errors.

🧹 Nitpick comments (25)
python/src/server/services/projects/task_service.py (4)

141-149: Type-hint search_query as optional for Python 3.12 style.

Minor typing polish.

-        include_archived: bool = False,
-        search_query: str = None
+        include_archived: bool = False,
+        search_query: str | None = None

166-176: exclude_large_fields still selects large JSONB fields (payload not reduced).

You fetch sources/code_examples even when excluding, defeating the optimization goal.

Option A (quick): drop those fields from select when exclude_large_fields=True.

-                query = self.supabase_client.table("archon_tasks").select(
-                    "id, project_id, parent_task_id, title, description, "
-                    "status, assignee, task_order, feature, archived, "
-                    "archived_at, archived_by, created_at, updated_at, "
-                    "sources, code_examples"  # Still fetch for counting, but will process differently
-                )
+                query = self.supabase_client.table("archon_tasks").select(
+                    "id, project_id, parent_task_id, title, description, "
+                    "status, assignee, task_order, feature, archived, "
+                    "archived_at, archived_by, created_at, updated_at"
+                )

Then omit counts or populate via a dedicated RPC later.


287-301: Return the actual filters applied (including search/archived), not a partial summary.

Current response omits search and archived flags.

-            filter_info = []
-            if project_id:
-                filter_info.append(f"project_id={project_id}")
-            if status:
-                filter_info.append(f"status={status}")
-            if not include_closed:
-                filter_info.append("excluding closed tasks")
-
             return True, {
                 "tasks": tasks,
                 "total_count": len(tasks),
-                "filters_applied": ", ".join(filter_info) if filter_info else "none",
+                "filters_applied": ", ".join(filters_applied) if filters_applied else "none",
                 "include_closed": include_closed,
             }

302-304: Include stack trace in error logs.

Preserve traceback per guidelines.

-            logger.error(f"Error listing tasks: {e}")
+            logger.error(f"Error listing tasks: {e}", exc_info=True)
python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py (1)

732-736: Add exc_info to error logging.

Keeps full stack traces.

-        logfire.error(f"Failed to list tasks | error={str(e)}")
+        logfire.error(f"Failed to list tasks | error={str(e)}", exc_info=True)
python/src/mcp_server/features/rag/rag_tools.py (1)

20-25: Use centralized timeout config and include tracebacks on errors.

Keep timeouts consistent and log stack traces.

 import httpx
 
 from mcp.server.fastmcp import Context, FastMCP
+from src.mcp_server.utils.timeout_config import get_default_timeout
 
 ...
-            timeout = httpx.Timeout(30.0, connect=5.0)
+            timeout = get_default_timeout()
 ...
-        except Exception as e:
-            logger.error(f"Error getting sources: {e}")
+        except Exception as e:
+            logger.error(f"Error getting sources: {e}", exc_info=True)
 ...
-            timeout = httpx.Timeout(30.0, connect=5.0)

 ...
-            timeout = httpx.Timeout(30.0, connect=5.0)
+            timeout = get_default_timeout()
 ...
-        except Exception as e:
-            logger.error(f"Error searching code examples: {e}")
+        except Exception as e:
+            logger.error(f"Error searching code examples: {e}", exc_info=True)

Also applies to: 55-57, 75-77, 101-102, 132-134, 157-159, 192-194

python/src/mcp_server/features/tasks/task_tools.py (4)

25-49: Deduplicate truncate_text across features.

Same helper exists in projects/project_tools; move to a shared util to avoid drift.

I can extract to src/mcp_server/utils/payload.py and update imports if you want.


149-171: Handle server pagination shape (pagination.total) when present.

Improves count accuracy.

                 elif isinstance(result, dict):
                     if "tasks" in result:
                         tasks = result["tasks"]
-                        total_count = result.get("total_count", len(tasks))
+                        total_count = (
+                            result.get("total_count")
+                            or (result.get("pagination", {}) or {}).get("total")
+                            or len(tasks)
+                        )

70-74: Docstring: remove unsupported “assignee” filter mention or implement it.

Currently only status/project are implemented.

-            filter_by: "status" | "project" | "assignee" (optional)
+            filter_by: "status" | "project" (optional)

216-217: Nit: avoid implying priority semantics for task_order unless enforced.

If sorting is ascending by task_order, consider rewording.

-            task_order: Priority 0-100 (higher = more priority)
+            task_order: Position/order integer (ascending)
python/src/mcp_server/mcp_server.py (2)

72-80: Message suggests a default port but code fails fast.

Either use the default or update the message. Given guidelines favor fail-fast, fix the text.

-    raise ValueError(
-        "ARCHON_MCP_PORT environment variable is required. "
-        "Please set it in your .env file or environment. "
-        "Default value: 8051"
-    )
+    raise ValueError(
+        "ARCHON_MCP_PORT environment variable is required. "
+        "Please set it in your .env file or environment."
+    )

126-130: Preserve stack traces in health-check failure logs.

-        logger.error(f"Health check error: {e}")
+        logger.error(f"Health check error: {e}", exc_info=True)
python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py (4)

26-29: Make truncation consistent with instructions and other tools.

Set MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH to 200 to reduce payloads in lists.

-MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH = 1000
+MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH = 200

121-129: Validate and clamp pagination inputs.

Prevent negative indices and unbounded per_page.

-                    # Apply pagination
+                    # Validate + apply pagination
+                    if page < 1:
+                        page = 1
+                    per_page = max(1, min(per_page, 100))
                     start_idx = (page - 1) * per_page
                     end_idx = start_idx + per_page

285-297: Handle 204 No Content on update.

Some APIs return 204 without a body.

-                    if response.status_code == 200:
-                        result = response.json()

python/src/**/*.py: Fail fast on service startup failures, missing configuration, database connection failures, authentication/authorization failures, critical dependencies unavailable, and invalid/corrupting data
Never accept or store corrupted data; on operation failure skip the item entirely rather than writing placeholders (e.g., zero embeddings)
For batch/background operations, continue processing but log each failure with details; track both successes and failures
Use specific exception types (avoid bare Exception), include context/IDs/URLs in messages, preserve full stack traces with logging (exc_info=True), and never return None/null to indicate failure—raise with details
Use database task status values directly: todo, doing, review, done
Target Python 3.12 style with 120-character line length; use Ruff for linting and Mypy for type checking

python/src/**/*.py: Fail fast on critical conditions: service startup failures, missing configuration/env vars, database connection/auth failures, critical dependencies unavailable
Never accept or store corrupted data (e.g., zero embeddings, null foreign keys, malformed JSON); skip failed items entirely and continue processing
For batch/background operations, continue processing but log detailed per-item failures; for external APIs use retries with exponential backoff and then fail clearly
Error messages must include context, use specific exception types, preserve full stack traces (logging with exc_info=True), include relevant IDs/URLs, and never return None to indicate failure—raise instead; for batch ops report success counts and detailed failures
Backend uses Python 3.12 with a 120-character line length
Avoid introducing WebSocket support in the backend; updates are handled via HTTP polling
Adhere to Ruff lint rules (e.g., no unused imports) and provide type hints to satisfy MyPy

🔇 Additional comments (12)
CLAUDE.md (1)

101-102: LGTM — principle clarified.

Good guidance reinforcing consolidation without legacy wrappers.

python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py (1)

671-672: Log line OK — ensure parity if defaults change.

After updating defaults, this log reflects true params. No action needed.

python/src/mcp_server/features/tasks/task_tools.py (2)

21-24: Good: central constants for optimization.

Defaults align with PR goals (per_page=10).


93-110: LGTM: single-task fetch path.

Clear behavior and error mapping.

python/src/mcp_server/mcp_server.py (4)

38-41: Verify .env location vs comment.

Comment says “project root .env” but project_root resolves to python/src. Confirm desired .env. If it lives under python/, switch to parents[2]; or search upward for the first .env.

Would you like me to add a small helper that finds the nearest .env upward and loads it?


274-279: Instructions say “truncate to 200 chars” but implementations use 1000.

Either change constants to 200 across features or update this guidance.

Want me to align all MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH values to 200 and adjust tests?


450-476: Docs/Versions registration contradicts PR note (“currently disabled”).

Confirm intent. If temporarily disabled, gate registration behind an env flag (e.g., ARCHON_ENABLE_DOCS=false) and log accordingly.

I can add a flag and guards—proceed?


281-296: LGTM on FastMCP init and fail-fast error handling.

python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py (2)

57-80: Overall tooling consolidation looks solid.

Nice: clear action routing, centralized error formatting, and payload optimization helpers.


16-21: Verified — get_max_polling_attempts exists and is imported from the correct module.
Defined at python/src/mcp_server/utils/timeout_config.py:50; import in python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py matches.

python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/document_tools.py (1)

35-47: Good consolidation and consistent error handling.

python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/version_tools.py (1)

35-46: Solid consolidation; interfaces align with the new pattern.

In python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py around lines 36 to
50, extend optimize_project_response to drop heavy arrays like "docs" and "data"
from the returned project and instead expose counts (e.g., "docs_count" and
"data_count"); detect if each key exists and is a list, set the corresponding
count to len(list) (or 0 if not a list), then remove the original array key from
the project dict so list views don't return large payloads; keep existing safe
handling for "features" and other fields and avoid modifying the original input
by operating on the copied dict.

to their current rag_* names (e.g., perform_rag_query -> rag_query or
rag_perform_query as appropriate, search_code_examples ->

the docstring matches the actual exported functions; edit the docstring lines to

⚠️ Potential issue

Remove unsupported fields from create payload (422 risk).

Server CreateTaskRequest doesn’t accept sources/code_examples; POST will fail validation.

the create payload includes unsupported fields "sources" and "code_examples"
which cause server validation to return 422; remove these keys from the dict
sent in the CreateTaskRequest (only send project_id, title, description,
assignee, task_order, feature and any other server-accepted fields) so the POST
conforms to the server schema and validation passes.

💡 Verification agent

🧩 Analysis chain

Confirm PostgREST OR-group semantics for multi-term search.

Chaining .or_(...) per term intends AND-of-ORs; verify supabase-py doesn’t override previous OR filters.


🌐 Web query:

In Supabase Python client, do multiple chained `.or_(...)` calls combine as ANDed groups, or does the last call override earlier ones? Cite docs.

💡 Result:

Short answer: The second (later) .or_ call overrides the earlier one — they do not combine as ANDed groups. The docs show .or_ takes a single raw PostgREST filter string (you must express grouped logic there), and community/GitHub discussions confirm chaining multiple .or/.or_ calls discards the previous .or. See the Python docs for .or_ and the Supabase discussion/issue noting chained .or calls don't combine. [1][2]

Sources

  • Supabase Python docs — .or_ (expects a single PostgREST-style filter string). [1]
  • Supabase community / GitHub discussions and issues showing that chaining multiple .or() calls does not produce combined (ANDed) groups and that the later call replaces the earlier. [2]

Stop chaining .or_ — it overwrites previous calls; use a single PostgREST filter (AND-of-ORs) or FTS.

Chaining .or_(...) replaces earlier .or_ calls in supabase‑py, so the loop will only apply the last term; replace the per-term .or_ loop with one PostgREST expression that encodes the AND-of-ORs (e.g. and(or(title.ilike.%term1%,description.ilike.%term1%,feature.ilike.%term1%),or(...))) or use .textSearch / a Postgres full‑text search.

Major refactoring of MCP tools to reduce complexity and improve naming:

## Tool Consolidation (22 → ~10 tools)
- Consolidated CRUD operations into two tools per domain:
  - find_[resource]: Handles list, search, and get single item
  - manage_[resource]: Handles create, update, delete with "action" parameter
- Removed backward compatibility/legacy function mappings
- Optimized response payloads with truncation (1000 char limit for projects/tasks)

## Renamed Functions
- list_projects → find_projects
- list_tasks → find_tasks
- list_documents → find_documents
- list_versions → find_versions

## Bug Fixes
- Fixed supabase query chaining bug where .or_() calls overwrote previous conditions
- Fixed search implementation to handle single vs multiple terms correctly

## Test Updates
- Updated all tests to use new consolidated tools
- Removed problematic test_consolidated_tools.py
- Fixed error type assertions to match actual responses
- All 44 tests passing

## Documentation Updates
- Updated CLAUDE.md with new tool names and patterns
- Updated MCP instructions with consolidated tool examples
- Added guidance to avoid backward compatibility code

## API Changes
- Updated API route defaults: include_closed=True, per_page=10
- Aligned defaults with consolidated tool implementations

36-51: Extend project optimization based on past feedback.

The optimization could be extended to handle heavy arrays like "docs" and "data" to further reduce payload sizes, as suggested in previous reviews.


104-140: Consider requesting lightweight list from API.

The GET request to /api/projects could pass an include_content=false parameter to request lightweight project summaries from the server, further reducing payload sizes.


178-258: Accept standard HTTP status codes for project creation.

The create action should accept 200, 201, and 202 as successful status codes, with 202 specifically indicating async creation requiring polling.

python/tests/mcp_server/features/tasks/test_task_tools.py (1)

73-76: Verify payload fields match server expectations.

Based on the previous review comments, the server's CreateTaskRequest might not accept sources and code_examples fields. The test only verifies title and assignee, which is good, but ensure the actual implementation doesn't send unsupported fields.

#!/bin/bash
# Check if the manage_task implementation still sends sources/code_examples
ast-grep --pattern 'json={
  $$$
  "sources": $_,
  $$$
}'
python/src/mcp_server/features/tasks/task_tools.py (1)

242-250: Remove unsupported fields from create payload.

The server's CreateTaskRequest doesn't accept sources and code_examples fields. Including them will cause validation errors.

                     response = await client.post(
                         urljoin(api_url, "/api/tasks"),

python/tests/mcp_server/features/projects/test_project_tools.py (2)

55-64: Consider mocking sleep explicitly for better test performance.

The test correctly handles the async project creation with polling. However, consider using AsyncMock(return_value=None) explicitly instead of just new_callable=AsyncMock for clarity and predictability.

-        with patch("asyncio.sleep", new_callable=AsyncMock):
+        with patch("asyncio.sleep", new_callable=AsyncMock, return_value=None):

95-95: Add assertion for manage_project tool registration.

For consistency with other tests, add an assertion to verify that the manage_project tool was successfully registered before using it.

     manage_project = mock_mcp._tools.get("manage_project")
+    assert manage_project is not None, "manage_project tool not registered"

Also applies to: 110-110

python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/version_tools.py (2)

223-228: Consider including valid actions in error message.

The error message for invalid actions could be more helpful by listing the valid options.

                     return MCPErrorFormatter.format_error(
                         "invalid_action",
-                        f"Unknown action: {action}. Use 'create' or 'restore'"
+                        f"Invalid action: {action}. Valid actions are: 'create', 'restore'"
                     )

90-123: Implement server-side pagination for the versions API

  • Server: python/src/server/services/projects/versioning_service.py::list_versions currently returns all versions (no page/per_page or range). Update the GET /projects/{project_id}/versions route (python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py) to accept page/per_page and apply pagination in the service (use query.range(start, end) or limit/offset).
  • Client: once server supports pagination, send page/per_page from python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/version_tools.py (lines 90–123) and remove the client-side slicing.
python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py (3)

121-125: Client-side pagination could be moved to server-side.

Similar to the search functionality, pagination is currently handled client-side. For better performance with large datasets, consider server-side pagination.

+            params["page"] = page
+            params["per_page"] = per_page
             
             async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=timeout) as client:
-                response = await client.get(urljoin(api_url, "/api/projects"))
+                response = await client.get(urljoin(api_url, "/api/projects"), params=params)
                 
                 if response.status_code == 200:
                     data = response.json()
                     projects = data.get("projects", [])
                     
                     # Apply search filter if provided
                     if query:
                         query_lower = query.lower()
                         projects = [
                             p for p in projects
                             if query_lower in p.get("title", "").lower()
                             or query_lower in p.get("description", "").lower()
                         ]
                     
-                    # Apply pagination
-                    start_idx = (page - 1) * per_page
-                    end_idx = start_idx + per_page
-                    paginated = projects[start_idx:end_idx]
+                    # Projects should already be paginated by the server
+                    paginated = projects

320-325: Improve invalid action error message.

The error message could be more helpful by listing valid actions.

                     return MCPErrorFormatter.format_error(
                         "invalid_action",
-                        f"Unknown action: {action}"
+                        f"Invalid action: {action}. Valid actions are: 'create', 'update', 'delete'"
                     )

112-120: Add server-side project search (accept q on /api/projects)

The server route python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py::list_projects and the service python/src/server/services/projects/project_service.py::list_projects only accept include_content (and if_none_match) — there is no q/query parameter. Add q: str | None = None to the API route, pass it into project_service (update its signature), implement server-side filtering in project_service (preferably at the DB/query level), then update the client (python/src/mcp_server/features/projects/project_tools.py) to send params as shown in your diff.

python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/document_tools.py (2)

272-277: Improve invalid action error message.

Consistent with other manage_* functions, the error message should list valid actions.

                 return MCPErrorFormatter.format_error(
                     "invalid_action",
-                    f"Unknown action: {action}"
+                    f"Invalid action: {action}. Valid actions are: 'create', 'update', 'delete'"
                 )

93-134: Server-side filtering/pagination not implemented — extend API or keep client-side

The GET /api/projects/{project_id}/docs route (projects_api.py:list_project_documents) only accepts include_content and DocumentService.list_documents returns the full docs array, so passing q/document_type/page/per_page from the MCP tool will not be handled by the server.

  • To enable server-side filtering/pagination: add query params to python/src/server/api_routes/projects_api.py (list_project_documents) and implement filtering/pagination in python/src/server/services/projects/document_service.py::list_documents.
  • Otherwise keep the current client-side filtering/pagination in python/src/mcp_server/features/documents/document_tools.py (correct but not scalable).

* feat: Consolidate MCP tools and rename list_* to find_*

Major refactoring of MCP tools to reduce complexity and improve naming:

## Tool Consolidation (22 → ~10 tools)
- Consolidated CRUD operations into two tools per domain:
  - find_[resource]: Handles list, search, and get single item
  - manage_[resource]: Handles create, update, delete with "action" parameter
- Removed backward compatibility/legacy function mappings
- Optimized response payloads with truncation (1000 char limit for projects/tasks)

## Renamed Functions
- list_projects → find_projects
- list_tasks → find_tasks
- list_documents → find_documents
- list_versions → find_versions

## Bug Fixes
- Fixed supabase query chaining bug where .or_() calls overwrote previous conditions
- Fixed search implementation to handle single vs multiple terms correctly

## Test Updates
- Updated all tests to use new consolidated tools
- Removed problematic test_consolidated_tools.py
- Fixed error type assertions to match actual responses
- All 44 tests passing

## Documentation Updates
- Updated CLAUDE.md with new tool names and patterns
- Updated MCP instructions with consolidated tool examples
- Added guidance to avoid backward compatibility code

## API Changes
- Updated API route defaults: include_closed=True, per_page=10
- Aligned defaults with consolidated tool implementations
