## 🔍 **Current Issues Analysis**
### 🟡 **Build Issues (In Progress)**
- **Import Path Conflicts**: After service migration, some imports need updating
- **TypeScript Errors**: Minor type mismatches from service integration
- **Dependency Resolution**: Client-side services trying to import server-side modules
### 🟢 **Successfully Resolved**
- ✅ Memory tools integration
- ✅ AI services migration
- ✅ Advanced Gemini proxy enhancement
- ✅ Rate limiting and intelligent model selection
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
## 📈 **Performance & Reliability Features**
### 🚀 **Intelligent Model Selection**
```typescript
// Example: Automatic model selection based on task complexity
const response = await mcpServer.makeIntelligentRequest({
type: 'text',
complexity: 'medium',
priority: 'high',
requiresStructuredOutput: true
}, prompt);
// → Automatically selects gemini-2.5-flash for structured parsing
```
### ⚡ **Rate Limiting & Usage Tracking**
- **Per-model rate limits**: Respects API quotas (RPM/TPM)
- **Intelligent queuing**: Automatically waits and retries
- **Usage analytics**: Tracks tokens, requests, performance
- **Fallback models**: Downgrades to simpler models on failure
### 🔄 **Reliability Patterns**
- **Circuit breaker**: Fails fast on repeated errors
- **Exponential backoff**: Progressive retry delays
- **Health monitoring**: Continuous service health checks
- **Graceful degradation**: Fallback to cached/simplified responses
## 🎯 **Recommended Next Steps**
### 1. **Fix Build Issues** (Priority: High)
```bash
# Check current build status
cd /workspaces/Charnoksv3/mcp-server
npm run build
# Update import paths that reference migrated services
# Ensure client-side services don't import server modules
```
### 2. **Update Client Services** (Priority: Medium)
- Update `geminiAPIManager` usage to route through `mcpClient`
- Ensure all AI operations use MCP server for consistency
- Verify offline/online fallback behavior
### 3. **Production Deployment** (Priority: High)
- Deploy MCP server to production environment
- Configure environment variables for all environments
- Test end-to-end integration with PWA
