Import Fixes Summary for Enhanced MCP Tools

Issues Found and Fixed:

1. Missing Typing Imports

• Files affected: All modules were missing Dict and List imports
• Fix: Added Dict, List to the typing imports in base.py
• Impact: Enables proper type annotations throughout the codebase

2. Missing Standard Library Imports

• Files affected: Multiple modules using json_module, missing uuid
• Fixes applied:
  • Added json and uuid imports to base.py
  • Updated sneller_analytics.py to use json instead of json_module (3 locations)
  • Updated asciinema_integration.py to use json instead of json_module (1 location)

3. Missing Third-party Dependencies

• Files affected: base.py, sneller_analytics.py, file_operations.py
• Fixes applied:
  • Added requests import to base.py with fallback handling
  • Added graceful fallback imports for aiofiles, psutil, requests
  • Added graceful fallback for FastMCP components when not available
  • Added graceful fallback for watchdog in file_operations.py

4. Python Version Compatibility

• Issue: Used Python 3.10+ union syntax Context | None
• Fix: Changed to Optional[Context] for broader compatibility

5. Export Updates

• File: base.py
• Fix: Updated __all__ list to include new imports (Dict, List, json, uuid, requests)

Files Modified:

1. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/enhanced_mcp/base.py

   • Added missing imports: uuid, Dict, List from typing
   • Added requests import with fallback
   • Made all third-party imports graceful with fallbacks
   • Updated type hints for Python compatibility
   • Updated __all__ exports

2. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/enhanced_mcp/sneller_analytics.py

   • Fixed json_module → json (3 instances)

3. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/enhanced_mcp/asciinema_integration.py

   • Fixed json_module → json (1 instance)

4. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/enhanced_mcp/file_operations.py

   • Added graceful import for watchdog.events.FileSystemEventHandler

New Files Created:

1. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/IMPORT_FIXES_SUMMARY.md
   • Detailed documentation of fixes

Files Updated:

1. /home/rpm/claude/enhanced-mcp-tools/pyproject.toml
   • Updated dependencies to match actual requirements
   • Changed to graceful dependency strategy (core + optional)
   • Updated Python version compatibility to >=3.8
   • Organized dependencies into logical groups

Testing Results:

✅ All individual modules import successfully
✅ Main server components import successfully
✅ Package-level imports working
✅ Graceful degradation when optional dependencies missing

Key Improvements:

1. Robust Error Handling: The codebase now handles missing dependencies gracefully
2. Better Type Support: Full typing support with proper Dict and List imports
3. Cross-Version Compatibility: Works with Python 3.8+ (not just 3.10+)
4. Clear Dependencies: requirements.txt documents what's needed for full functionality
5. Fallback Behavior: Core functionality works even without optional dependencies

Recommendation:

Install enhanced functionality for full features:

# Core installation (minimal dependencies)
pip install -e .

# With enhanced features (recommended)
pip install -e ".[enhanced]"

# Full installation with all optional dependencies
pip install -e ".[full]"

# Development installation
pip install -e ".[dev]"

The core system will work with just FastMCP, but enhanced features require optional dependencies.
