Pull request overview
This PR modernizes the ALAS MCP server by migrating from a hand-rolled JSON-RPC implementation to the FastMCP 3.0 framework. The refactoring improves type safety, reduces boilerplate code, and introduces comprehensive unit tests while maintaining functional equivalence for all 7 tools.
Changes:
- Replaced custom JSON-RPC protocol handling with FastMCP 3.0 decorators and automatic schema generation
- Added comprehensive unit tests with proper mocking for all 7 MCP tools
- Introduced project configuration (pyproject.toml) and shell launcher script (run_server.sh) for improved deployment

| - Eliminated 90 lines of protocol boilerplate (39% code reduction) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The line count claim in the CHANGELOG states "Eliminated 90 lines of protocol boilerplate (39% code reduction)" which is inconsistent with the actual file. The new file is 152 lines, not 140, meaning if the old file was truly 230 lines, the reduction is 78 lines (34%), not 90 lines (39%).

The json import on line 4 is unused in the refactored code. It was needed for the old hand-rolled JSON-RPC implementation but FastMCP handles JSON serialization internally. This import should be removed.

| # Global context initialized in main |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The module-level mutable global variable 'ctx' is set in main() and accessed by all tool functions. While this works for a single-instance server process, this pattern can make testing harder and introduces implicit state dependencies. The current test file addresses this by injecting mocks into the global ctx, which is a reasonable workaround. However, consider documenting this design decision explicitly, as it's a deviation from typical FastMCP patterns which might use dependency injection or context managers.
| # Global context initialized in main | |
| # Global context initialized in main. | |
| # | |
| # Design note: | |
| # We intentionally keep a module-level mutable `ctx` that is set once in `main()` | |
| # and then accessed by all MCP tools. This fits the single-process MCP server | |
| # model and keeps tool signatures simple (no explicit context parameters). | |
| # | |
| # In tests, we inject mock ALASContext instances into this global `ctx` to | |
| # control behavior and avoid relying on real devices. This is a conscious | |
| # deviation from typical FastMCP patterns (which often use dependency | |
| # injection or context managers), but is kept for simplicity here. |

| "fastmcp>=3.0.0b1", |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The dependency specifies "fastmcp>=3.0.0b1" which includes a beta version constraint. Beta versions (indicated by "b1") can have breaking changes between releases. Consider either pinning to a specific beta version (e.g., "fastmcp==3.0.0b1") or waiting for a stable 3.0.0 release before merging to production. If this is intentional for early adoption, document the rationale.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The test_alas_goto_success test modifies alas_mcp_server.Page.all_pages (line 79) and test_alas_goto_invalid clears it (line 85), but these modifications aren't isolated per test. This could cause test order dependencies if additional tests are added later. Consider resetting Page.all_pages in the mock_ctx fixture or using a separate fixture for Page setup to ensure test isolation.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The adb_screenshot function returns a Dict[str, Any] with MCP protocol structure (content array with type/mimeType/data), while all other tool functions return simple strings or structured data without this wrapping. This inconsistency could be confusing. Consider either documenting why screenshot needs special handling, or making the return types more uniform if FastMCP supports it.

All tool functions check if ctx is None and raise RuntimeError, but there are no tests verifying this error handling. Consider adding tests that call each tool function before ctx is initialized to ensure the RuntimeError is raised correctly with the expected message.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The shell script doesn't include error handling (e.g., 'set -e' to exit on errors) or validation that required commands exist (e.g., checking if 'uv' is installed). Consider adding basic error handling to fail fast if the environment isn't properly configured. For example, add 'set -euo pipefail' at the top to enable strict error handling.
| #!/bin/bash | |
| cd "$(dirname "$0")" | |
| export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 | |

The CHANGELOG doesn't mention the addition of comprehensive unit tests (test_alas_mcp.py) which is a significant addition mentioned in the PR description. Consider adding a line in the "Added" section noting the introduction of unit tests for all 7 MCP tools, as this is an important improvement for maintainability.
