Configuration & Requirements

Multi-Backend Configuration

The system is pre-configured with 4 backends (expandable via EXTENDING.md):

Local Backend Endpoint

• URL: http://localhost:1234/v1 (configure for your local model server)
• Example Setup: LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, or custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• Requirements:
  • Local model server running (LM Studio/Ollama/vLLM/etc.)
  • Server bound to 0.0.0.0:1234 (not 127.0.0.1 for WSL2 compatibility)
  • Firewall allowing connections if running on separate machine

Cloud Backend Endpoints

• Example Configuration: NVIDIA API, OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, etc.
• API Keys: Required (set via environment variables for each provider)
• Endpoint URLs: Configure based on your chosen providers
• Models: Any models available from your providers (see EXTENDING.md for integration)

Cross-Platform Support

Windows (WSL2)

# WSL2 IP for local model (if running on Windows host)
export LOCAL_MODEL_ENDPOINT="http://172.23.16.1:1234/v1"

Linux

# Direct localhost for Linux
export LOCAL_MODEL_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1"

macOS

# Standard localhost for macOS
export LOCAL_MODEL_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:1234/v1"

Environment Variables

# Example using NVIDIA API (configure for your chosen providers)
export CLOUD_API_KEY_1="your-cloud-provider-key"
export CLOUD_API_KEY_2="your-cloud-provider-key"
export CLOUD_API_KEY_3="your-cloud-provider-key"

# Local model endpoint
export LOCAL_MODEL_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:1234/v1"

# Optional: Enable TDD mode for testing
export TDD_MODE="true"

# MCP-Compliant Logging Configuration
# Options: silent, error, warn, info, debug
# Production: Use 'error' or 'warn' for minimal logging
# Development: Use 'info' or 'debug' for full diagnostics
export MCP_LOG_LEVEL="info"

MCP-Compliant Logging

CRITICAL: This server is fully MCP protocol compliant and prevents the "stdout contamination" issue that breaks Claude Desktop.

Understanding MCP Logging Requirements

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has strict requirements for stdio-based servers:

• stdout ONLY JSON-RPC messages (protocol communication)
• stderr Logging, diagnostics, debug output (captured by Claude Desktop)

Common Issue: Using console.log() writes to stdout and breaks MCP communication with errors like:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'C', "Conversati"... is not valid JSON

Our Solution: MCP-Compliant Logger

All logging in Smart AI Bridge uses console.error() (stderr) to maintain protocol compliance:

//  CORRECT - MCP compliant (stderr)
import { logger } from './mcp-logger.js';
logger.info('Server started');
logger.debug('Routing decision:', backend);
logger.error('Fatal error:', error);

//  WRONG - Breaks MCP protocol (stdout)
console.log('Message');  // Will cause JSON parse errors in Claude Desktop

Log Levels

Control logging verbosity via MCP_LOG_LEVEL environment variable:

Level	Description	Use Case
silent	No logging output	Production with external monitoring
error	Errors only	Minimal production logging
warn	Warnings + errors	Recommended for production
info	Info + warnings + errors	Default - Development/staging
debug	All messages including debug	Verbose debugging

Configuration Examples

Production (minimal logging):

export MCP_LOG_LEVEL="warn"
# or in .env file:
MCP_LOG_LEVEL=warn

Development (full diagnostics):

export MCP_LOG_LEVEL="debug"
# Shows detailed routing decisions, backend health checks, etc.

Silent mode (external logging):

export MCP_LOG_LEVEL="silent"
# All logging suppressed, useful when piping stderr to monitoring tools

Claude Desktop Log Files

Claude Desktop automatically captures all stderr output to log files:

• macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-smart-ai-bridge.log
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\Logs\mcp-server-smart-ai-bridge.log
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/logs/mcp-server-smart-ai-bridge.log

Troubleshooting MCP Protocol Issues

If you see JSON parse errors in Claude Desktop:

1. Check for stdout contamination:

   grep -r "console\.log" --include="*.js" --exclude-dir=node_modules
   

2. Verify all logging uses stderr:

   • All logs should use logger.info(), logger.debug(), etc.
   • Or console.error() directly (not console.log())

3. Test with silent mode:

   MCP_LOG_LEVEL=silent npm start
   # Should produce NO stderr output
   

4. View captured logs:

   # macOS/Linux
   tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-smart-ai-bridge.log
   

Optimization Pipeline Workflow

Discovery Implementation Validation - The proven pattern for high-quality results:

1. Discovery Phase (DeepSeek Analysis)

@query_deepseek(
  prompt="Analyze [specific code file] for performance bottlenecks. Focus on:
  - Line-specific issues with exact line numbers
  - Quantified performance impact estimates  
  - Memory allocation patterns
  - Cache efficiency opportunities
  Provide actionable findings, not generic advice.",
  task_type="analysis"
)

2. Implementation Phase (Specialist Handoff)

• DeepSeek provides line-specific findings
• Unity/React/Backend specialist implements changes
• Focus on measurable improvements (0.3-0.4ms reductions)

3. Validation Phase (DeepSeek Verification)

@query_deepseek(
  prompt="Review the implemented optimizations in [code]:
  - Verify changes address identified bottlenecks
  - Estimate performance impact of each change
  - Identify any new issues introduced
  - Suggest ProfilerMarker placement for measurement",
  task_type="debugging"
)

Success Patterns

• Specific Analysis: Line numbers, exact metrics, concrete findings
• Quantified Impact: "0.3ms reduction", "30% fewer allocations"
• Measurable Results: ProfilerMarkers, before/after comparisons

File Access Architecture

Smart File Size Routing

The system automatically routes files based on size for optimal performance:

// Routing Logic
if (fileSize > 100KB)  Local Backend (unlimited tokens)
else if (fileSize > 10KB)  Intelligent routing based on content
else if (fileSize < 10KB)  Smart endpoint selection

File Processing Strategies

Instant Processing (<1KB files)

• Strategy: Direct memory read with 1-second timeout
• Performance: <1ms processing time
• Use Cases: Configuration files, small scripts, JSON configs

Fast Processing (1KB-10KB files)

• Strategy: Standard file read with 3-second timeout
• Performance: <100ms processing time
• Use Cases: Component files, utility functions, small modules

Standard Processing (10KB-100KB files)

• Strategy: Buffered read with 5-second timeout
• Performance: <500ms processing time
• Use Cases: Large components, documentation, medium codebases

Chunked Processing (>100KB files)

• Strategy: Streaming with 50MB memory limit
• Performance: Chunked with progress tracking
• Use Cases: Large log files, extensive documentation, complete codebases

Cross-Platform Path Handling

Windows Support

// Automatic path normalization
"C:\Users\project\file.js"  "C:/Users/project/file.js"
// WSL path translation  
"/mnt/c/Users/project"  "C:/Users/project"

Security Validation

• Path Traversal Protection: Blocks ../ and absolute path escapes
• Malicious Content Detection: Scans for suspicious patterns
• File Size Limits: Prevents memory exhaustion attacks
• Permission Validation: Ensures safe file access

Batch Processing Optimization

Concurrent Processing

• Batch Size: Up to 5 files concurrently
• Memory Management: 50MB total limit per batch
• Strategy Selection: Based on total size and file count
• Performance Monitoring: Real-time processing metrics

Intelligent Batching

if (totalSize > 100KB)  "local_endpoint_chunked"
else if (fileCount > 10)  "concurrent_limited" 
else  "standard_parallel"

Troubleshooting & Diagnostics

Multi-Backend Issues

Local Backend Connection

# Test local endpoint (adjust IP for your setup)
curl http://localhost:1234/v1/models

# Check local model server status
1. Verify local model server is running (LM Studio/Ollama/vLLM/etc.)
2. Confirm model is loaded and ready
3. Ensure server binding is 0.0.0.0:1234 (not 127.0.0.1 for WSL2)
4. Check firewall rules if running on separate machine

Cloud Backend Issues

# Test cloud API access (example using NVIDIA API)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUD_API_KEY_1" \
     https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1/models

# Common fixes:
1. Verify API keys are set correctly for your providers
2. Check API key permissions and rate limits
3. Ensure internet connectivity
4. Validate model names and endpoint URLs in configuration

File Access Issues

Permission Problems

// Use diagnose_file_access tool (when implemented)
@diagnose_file_access(filePath="/path/to/problematic/file")

// Manual checks:
1. Verify file exists and is readable
2. Check path normalization (Windows vs Unix)
3. Validate security constraints
4. Test with smaller file sizes first

Cross-Platform Path Issues

# Windows (WSL2)
- Use forward slashes: "/mnt/c/project/file.js"
- Avoid Windows drive letters in WSL context

# Linux/macOS  
- Standard Unix paths work normally
- Ensure proper permissions on file system

MCP Server Issues

Server Startup Problems

# Diagnostics
1. Check Node.js version: node --version (>=18 required)
2. Install dependencies: npm install
3. Test server: npm test
4. Check server logs: tail -f ~/.claude-code/logs/server.log

Tool Registration Issues

# Verify MCP tools are registered
@check_deepseek_status()

# If tools missing:
1. Restart Claude Code completely
2. Check configuration file syntax
3. Verify file paths in config
4. Test with minimal configuration first

Performance Optimization

Slow File Processing

• Large Files: Automatically routed to Local Backend for unlimited processing
• Batch Operations: Use concurrent processing for multiple small files
• Memory Issues: Files >50MB trigger streaming mode with memory protection

Routing Performance

• Pattern Matching: Smart routing uses optimized regex patterns
• Endpoint Health: Unhealthy endpoints trigger automatic fallback
• Usage Statistics: Monitor routing decisions for optimization
