+# Fable MCP — Design Spec
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-23
+**Status:** Approved
+**Author:** bvandeusen + Claude
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+A Python MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets Claude directly interface with a running Fabled Assistant instance. The goal is two-fold: Claude's stronger reasoning handles planning, documentation, and analysis while Fable remains the authoritative store for notes, tasks, projects, and milestones; and direct API access enables process improvement by letting Claude observe and operate on real data rather than working from descriptions.
+
+The work is split into two sub-projects:
+
+1. **Fable API Key Feature** — additions to the main `fabledassistant` project to support bearer token authentication
+2. **Fable MCP Server** — a new standalone Python package at `fable-mcp/` in the same repo root
+
+A third sub-project (Forgejo MCP for CI/CD automation) is planned as a follow-on after the Fable MCP is working.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-project 1: Fable API Key Feature
+
+### Motivation
+
+All existing Fable routes use session-based authentication (`session["user_id"]`). The MCP server runs as a local process and cannot maintain a browser session, so a stateless bearer token mechanism is required. API keys are user-scoped and carry a read/write permission level.
+
+### Database
+
+New table `api_keys` via migration `0027_add_api_keys.py`:
+- `down_revision = "0026"` (the briefing tables migration)
+- `revision = "0027"`
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| `id` | Integer PK | |
+| `user_id` | Integer FK → users | CASCADE delete |
+| `name` | Text | Human-readable label |
+| `key_hash` | Text | SHA-256 of the full key, used for lookup |
+| `key_prefix` | Text | First 8 chars (e.g. `fmcp_ab12`), shown in UI |
+| `scope` | Text | `"read"` or `"write"` |
+| `last_used_at` | Timestamp | Nullable, updated on each authenticated request |
+| `created_at` | Timestamp | |
+| `revoked_at` | Timestamp | Nullable — soft delete |
+
+Full keys are generated as `fmcp_<32 random url-safe chars>`, returned once at creation, never stored. Only the SHA-256 hash is persisted.
+
+### Auth Middleware (`auth.py`)
+
+`_check_auth` is updated to check the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header before falling back to session auth:
+
+1. If header present: hash the token, look up in `api_keys` where `revoked_at IS NULL`
+2. If found: update `last_used_at`, set `g.user` and `g.api_key`
+3. Scope enforcement: if `g.api_key.scope == "read"` and `request.method` is not `GET`, return 403
+4. If header absent: existing session logic runs unchanged
+
+Session auth is untouched — no regression risk for the web UI.
+
+**Admin routes and API keys:** Routes decorated with `admin_required` check `user.role == "admin"` after auth resolves. API keys authenticate as the key owner — so a write-scoped key for a non-admin user will fail admin-protected routes with 403 (role check, not scope check). This is intentional: API keys cannot elevate privilege beyond the user's role.
+
+### Routes (`/api/api-keys`)
+
+New blueprint `api_keys_bp`, registered in `app.py`:
+
+- `GET /api/api-keys` — list caller's keys (prefix, name, scope, last_used_at, created_at — never the hash or full key)
+- `POST /api/api-keys` — create key; body: `{name, scope}`. Returns full key in response **once only**
+- `DELETE /api/api-keys/:id` — revoke by setting `revoked_at = now()`
+
+### Settings UI
+
+New "API Keys" tab in `SettingsView.vue` (added to `VALID_TABS`):
+
+- Create form: name input + read/write radio/toggle + "Generate Key" button
+- After creation: one-time modal displaying the full key with a copy button and a warning that it will not be shown again
+- Keys table: columns for name, scope badge, prefix, last used, revoke button
+- Revoke shows inline confirmation before calling DELETE
+
+### New Search Endpoint
+
+`GET /api/search?q=<query>&content_type=note|task|all&limit=N`
+
+Calls the existing `semantic_search_notes()` service (already in `services/embeddings.py`). The `content_type` parameter maps to the service's `is_task` argument:
+- `content_type=note` → `is_task=False`
+- `content_type=task` → `is_task=True`
+- `content_type=all` (default) → `is_task=None`
+
+Returns:
+
+```json
+{
+  "results": [
+    {"id": 1, "title": "...", "body": "...", "is_task": false, "similarity": 0.87, "tags": [...]}
+  ],
+  "total": 5
+}
+```
+
+This endpoint is needed by the MCP's `search.py` tool module. It reuses existing infrastructure with no new ML work.
+
+### Conversation Type: `"mcp"`
+
+A new conversation type `"mcp"` is added alongside `"chat"` and `"briefing"`. This requires changes in two places in the main app:
+
+**`services/chat.py`** — `create_conversation(user_id, title, model)` gains an optional `conversation_type: str = "chat"` parameter, passed through to the `Conversation` constructor.
+
+**`routes/chat.py`** — `POST /api/chat/conversations` accepts an optional `conversation_type` body field (defaults to `"chat"`), passed to `create_conversation`. `GET /api/chat/conversations` continues to default-filter to `conversation_type="chat"` (excluding `"mcp"` and `"briefing"`); pass `?type=mcp` to retrieve MCP conversations.
+
+**Retention:** `cleanup_old_conversations` in `routes/chat.py` currently deletes conversations regardless of type. It must be updated to exclude `conversation_type="mcp"` from the sweep, so MCP audit-trail conversations are not automatically pruned.
+
+MCP conversations:
+- Are created with a caller-supplied name (e.g., `"MCP Session 2026-03-23"`) or auto-named
+- Are excluded from the default chat list
+- Are accessible via `GET /api/chat/conversations?type=mcp` for inspection
+- Appear in the Fable UI if explicitly navigated to, providing an audit trail of MCP-driven interactions
+
+### Chat SSE Wire Format
+
+The MCP's `chat.py` tool must consume the existing SSE stream. The relevant endpoints and event schema:
+
+- **Create conversation:** `POST /api/chat/conversations` → `{id, title, ...}`
+- **Post message + start generation:** `POST /api/chat/conversations/:id/messages` → `{message_id, ...}`; then connect to:
+- **Stream:** `GET /api/chat/conversations/:id/stream` (SSE)
+
+SSE event format (each line is `data: <json>`):
+- `{"type": "token", "content": "..."}` — streaming token
+- `{"type": "tool_call", "name": "...", "result": {...}}` — tool fired
+- `{"type": "done", "content": "...", "tools_used": [...]}` — generation complete; this is the termination event
+
+The MCP tool reads tokens until it receives `type: "done"`, then returns `response` (full content) and `tools_used` (list of tool names).
+
+---
+
+## Sub-project 2: Fable MCP Server
+
+### Location
+
+`fable-mcp/` at the repository root, alongside `src/`, `frontend/`, `alembic/`. It is **not** part of the main Docker build and has no import relationship with `fabledassistant`. It will be extracted to its own Forgejo repo once stable.
+
+### Package Structure

+```
+
+### Dependencies
+
+```toml
+[project]
+dependencies = [
+  "mcp[cli]>=1.0",
+  "httpx>=0.27",
+  "python-dotenv>=1.0",
+]
+```
+
+### `client.py`
+
+`FableClient` is an async context manager wrapping `httpx.AsyncClient`. It reads `FABLE_URL` and `FABLE_API_KEY` from environment variables (with `python-dotenv` fallback to `.env`). All methods are `async def` and return parsed dicts. A `FableAPIError(status_code, message)` exception is raised for any non-2xx response.
+
+A module-level singleton `_client: FableClient` is initialized at server startup and shared across all tool modules.
+
+### `server.py`
+
+Uses `mcp[cli]`'s `FastMCP` class. Imports all tool modules, which register their tools via decorators against the shared `FastMCP` instance. Entry point `main()` calls `mcp.run()` (stdio transport).
+
+### Tool Modules
+
+Each module imports `_client` from `client.py` and defines tools as `async def` functions decorated with `@mcp.tool()`. Tool docstrings serve as the MCP tool descriptions visible to Claude.
+
+**`notes.py`** tools:
+- `list_notes(query, tags, project_id, limit, offset)`
+- `get_note(note_id)`
+- `create_note(title, body, tags, project_id)`
+- `update_note(note_id, title, body, tags, project_id)`
+- `delete_note(note_id)`
+
+**`tasks.py`** tools:
+- `list_tasks(query, project_id, milestone_id, status, priority, limit, offset)`
+- `get_task(task_id)`
+- `create_task(title, body, project_id, milestone_id, priority, status)`
+- `update_task(task_id, title, body, project_id, milestone_id, priority, status)`
+- `delete_task(task_id)`
+- `patch_task_status(task_id, status)`
+- `add_task_log(task_id, content)`
+
+**`projects.py`** tools:
+- `list_projects()`
+- `get_project(project_id)` — includes milestone summary
+- `create_project(title, description, goal, color)`
+- `update_project(project_id, title, description, goal, status, color)`
+- `delete_project(project_id)`
+
+**`milestones.py`** tools:
+- `list_milestones(project_id, status)`
+- `get_milestone(project_id, milestone_id)`
+- `create_milestone(project_id, title, description, order_index)`
+- `update_milestone(project_id, milestone_id, title, description, status, order_index)`
+- `delete_milestone(project_id, milestone_id)`
+
+**`search.py`** tools:
+- `semantic_search(query, content_type, limit)` — `content_type` is `"note"`, `"task"`, or `"all"` (avoids shadowing Python's `type` builtin). Calls `GET /api/search`, returns ranked results with similarity scores.
+
+**`chat.py`** tools:
+- `send_message(message, conversation_name)`:
+  - Looks up or creates a Fable conversation with the given name and `conversation_type="mcp"`
+  - Posts the message via `POST /api/chat/conversations/:id/messages`
+  - Consumes SSE stream from `GET /api/chat/conversations/:id/stream` until `type: "done"`
+  - Returns: `{response: str, tools_used: [str], conversation_id: int}`
+  - MCP conversations are excluded from the normal chat UI list
+
+### Error Handling
+
+`FableAPIError` is caught at each tool boundary and returned as a descriptive string rather than propagating as an exception. This ensures Claude receives a readable error message (e.g., `"Fable API error 403: Read-only key cannot perform write operations."`) rather than a stack trace. Network errors (`httpx.RequestError`) are similarly caught and surfaced as strings.
+
+Scope enforcement lives entirely in Fable's auth middleware — the MCP does not duplicate it.
+
+### Claude Code Registration
+
+After `pip install -e fable-mcp/` (or `uv tool install ./fable-mcp`), add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "fable": {
+      "command": "fable-mcp",
+      "env": {
+        "FABLE_URL": "http://localhost:8080",
+        "FABLE_API_KEY": "fmcp_your_key_here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Claude Code spawns the process over stdio automatically. No Docker, no daemon.
+
+---
+
+## Build & Repo Plan
+
+1. Implement and test within `fabledassistant/fable-mcp/`
+2. Once stable, extract to a new Forgejo repo (`bvandeusen/fable-mcp`)
+3. Forgejo MCP (Gitea MCP) added as a second MCP server to automate build/push/config workflows — separate spec when ready
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope (v1)
+
+- MCP resources (browsable URI tree) — tools cover all use cases in Claude Code
+- Forgejo MCP — follow-on spec
+- Rate limiting on API key endpoints
+- Key expiry / TTL
+- Per-resource scope (e.g., key restricted to one project)

 ## Last Updated
-2026-03-11 — Multi-user sharing & collaboration, in-app notifications, groups management, backup rewrite.
+2026-03-16 — Fuzzy project resolution, accidental project creation guard, task embedding, briefing CalDAV fix, notes count query fix.
+
+---
+
+**2026-03-16 — Fuzzy project resolution + create_project guard:**
+
+- `services/tools.py` — `_resolve_project` rewritten with 4-step lookup: (1) exact DB match, (2) `query in title` substring, (3) `title in query` reverse substring, (4) SequenceMatcher ≥ 0.55 fallback. Partial names like "Famous Supply" now reliably resolve to "Famous Supply Co." without the model creating a duplicate project.
+- `services/tools.py` — `create_project` handler: similar-project checks (threshold 0.55) now run **before** the `confirmed` gate, so `confirmed=true` cannot bypass them. All call sites that duplicated the old inline substring logic replaced with `_resolve_project`.
+- `services/tools.py` — Error messages on project-not-found no longer say "or create_project to create one"; they direct the model to `list_projects` instead. Tool description explicitly says never call `create_project` in response to a lookup failure.
+- `routes/tasks.py` — Fire-and-forget `upsert_note_embedding` added to create and update task routes (was missing; tasks created via REST API weren't getting embeddings).
+- `services/briefing_pipeline.py` — `await is_caldav_configured()` (was called without await — was a latent bug since `is_caldav_configured` became async).
+- `services/notes.py` — Removed erroneous duplicate `count_query.where(Note.parent_id == parent_id)` that was applied inside the `no_project` branch.
+
+---
+
+**CI release process (2026-03-12):**
+- `.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`: removed `main` from `branches` push trigger. CI now fires only on `dev` pushes, `v*` tags, and pull requests. Main branch merges no longer trigger a run — the PR check covers pre-merge safety. Production release process: create a release via Forgejo UI on `main` with a `v*` tag → tag push event fires CI → build job pushes `:latest` + `:<version>` Docker images to registry. Branch protection is not an obstacle because the UI release creates the tag through the API.
+
+---
+
+**Daily Briefing — full feature (2026-03-11):**
+
+Backend:
+- Migration `0026_add_briefing_tables.py`: `rss_feeds` (url, name, user_id), `rss_items` (feed_id FK, guid, title, url, summary, pub_date), `weather_cache` (user_id UNIQUE, lat, lon, location_name, forecast_json, fetched_at); added `conversation_type` TEXT and `briefing_date` DATE to `conversations`.
+- `models/rss_feed.py`, `models/rss_item.py`, `models/weather_cache.py`: SQLAlchemy models with `to_dict()`.
+- `services/weather.py`: geocoding via Nominatim (Open-Meteo), forecast fetch via Open-Meteo API, per-user DB cache with change detection. `get_weather(user_id)` returns structured dict with location, current, and 5-day forecast.
+- `services/rss.py`: feedparser-based fetch, per-feed DB cache with prune-to-100. `get_rss_items(user_id, limit)` returns recent items across all user feeds.
+- `services/briefing_profile.py`: service that reads user briefing config (CalDAV, weather, RSS, office days, tasks) and composes a profile note used as context for generation.
+- `services/briefing_pipeline.py`: two-lane parallel gather (async `asyncio.gather` over weather, RSS, tasks, calendar) → LLM synthesis. Streams result into a `GenerationBuffer` using the same SSE infrastructure as chat.
+- `routes/briefing.py`: RSS CRUD at `/api/briefing/feeds`, weather config at `/api/briefing/weather`, briefing config at `/api/briefing/config`, `POST /api/briefing/trigger` to manually fire a slot. Registered as `briefing_bp` in `app.py`.
+- `routes/chat.py`: `GET /api/briefing/conversations/today` — creates the day's briefing conversation if absent (type=`briefing`, `briefing_date=today`); `GET /api/briefing/conversations` — lists all past briefing conversations.
+- `services/generation_task.py` / `routes/chat.py`: `conversation_type` filter support so briefing conversations are excluded from the main chat list and vice versa.
+- APScheduler integration: `services/scheduler.py` runs briefing slots (morning, midday, evening) on schedule with catch-up logic — if a slot was missed while the server was down, it runs immediately on next startup.
+- LLM tools: `get_weather` and `get_rss_items` added to `_CORE_TOOLS` in `services/tools.py`.
+
+Frontend:
+- `frontend/src/views/BriefingView.vue` (new): primary briefing page. Soft chat-style layout. Top section shows the digest card (expandable) followed by the conversation thread. Reply bar at bottom — sends via standard chat endpoints and streams via SSE. Manual "Refresh" button triggers a new briefing generation. Conversation history dropdown (past briefing dates) in header.
+- `frontend/src/components/BriefingSetupWizard.vue` (new): 4-step setup wizard shown on first visit when briefing is not configured (welcome → location → office days → RSS feeds). Completes by enabling briefing in settings.
+- `frontend/src/views/SettingsView.vue`: Briefing tab added (`briefing` in `VALID_TABS`): enable toggle, location geocoding input (live preview), office days checkboxes, time slot toggles (morning/midday/evening), RSS feed CRUD (add URL + name, list, delete), push notification toggle for briefing completion.
+- `frontend/src/router/index.ts`: `/briefing` route added → `BriefingView`.
+- `frontend/src/components/AppHeader.vue`: "Briefing" nav link added.
+
+---
+
+**Previous session (2026-03-11):**
+
+**Version footer + CalVer tracking:**
+- `4636c9a` Add CalVer build-time version tracking: `Dockerfile` injects `BUILD_VERSION` ARG as `VITE_APP_VERSION` env var during frontend build. Frontend reads `import.meta.env.VITE_APP_VERSION` and displays it in the Settings footer. Docker image tags include `:<version>` on release builds.
+- `2cb4e6d` Version footer, task history UI, note version retention policy: Settings page shows `v<version>` in footer. Task history now displays inline in a sidebar within the task editor (previously required navigation). Note version retention policy configurable (max versions per note, default 20 — enforced at write time in `services/note_versions.py`).
+
+**Content deduplication + history sidebar:**
+- `6d593a0` Move history to sidebar, simplify task assist, add content deduplication: `HistoryPanel` moved to a collapsible right sidebar in `NoteEditorView` (previously a modal overlay). Writing assist panel simplified — removed multi-step UX, direct instruction input. `build_context()` in `services/llm.py` deduplicates injected content (RAG-found notes, sidebar includes, context notes) by ID so the same note cannot appear in multiple context blocks.
+
+**ShareDialog CSS fix:**
+- `a63f067` Fix ShareDialog transparent background — replaced undefined CSS custom property references with explicit values.
+
+---
+
+**Previous session (2026-03-11 — Multi-user & backup):** Multi-user sharing & collaboration, in-app notifications, groups management, backup rewrite.
 
 **Multi-user sharing & collaboration:**
 - `alembic/versions/0025_add_sharing_and_notifications.py` (new): creates `groups`, `group_memberships`, `project_shares`, `note_shares`, `notifications` tables. Partial unique indexes via raw SQL. CHECK constraint enforces exclusive user/group target on share rows.
