Development

Architecture Overview

This server is a complete port from an ElizaOS plugin to a standalone FastMCP server, featuring:

• FastMCP Independence: No ElizaOS runtime dependencies
• Enhanced Type Safety: Comprehensive TypeScript interfaces
• Production Features: Health monitoring, session management, graceful cleanup
• Superior Error Handling: Detailed error context and recovery
• Comprehensive Testing: 661 tests with 100% success rate

Adding New Tools

1. Create a new tool file in src/servers/actions/:

import { z } from 'zod';
import type { FastMCPTool } from '../../types/index.js';

export const myNewTool: FastMCPTool = {
  name: 'hyperfy_my_tool',
  description: 'Description of what this tool does',
  parameters: z.object({
    param1: z.string().describe('Parameter description'),
    param2: z.number().optional().describe('Optional parameter')
  }),
  execute: async (args, context) => {
    // Tool implementation
    const { param1, param2 } = args;
    
    try {
      // Your logic here
      context.log.info('Tool executed', { param1, param2 });
      
      return {
        success: true,
        message: 'Tool completed successfully',
        data: { result: 'some result' }
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        success: false,
        error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'
      };
    }
  }
};

2. Register the tool in src/servers/server.ts:

import { myNewTool } from './actions/myNewTool.js';

// Add to server registration
server.addTool({
  name: myNewTool.name,
  description: myNewTool.description,
  parameters: myNewTool.parameters,
  execute: async (args, context) => {
    const toolContext = createToolContext(context);
    const result = await myNewTool.execute(args, toolContext);
    return handleToolResult(result, myNewTool.name);
  }
});

3. Add tests in tests/test_actions_mytool.ts

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling:

• Environment Validation: Validates all configuration on startup
• Connection Resilience: Automatic reconnection and graceful degradation
• Tool Error Context: Detailed error information for debugging
• Session Cleanup: Proper cleanup on client disconnect

Health Monitoring

• Health Endpoint: GET /health returns server status
• Ping/Pong: Configurable connection health checks
• Logging: Structured logging with context information

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Failed: Check that HYPERFY_WS_SERVER is correct and accessible
2. Tool Not Found: Ensure the tool is properly registered in server.ts
3. Environment Issues: Verify .env file is loaded and variables are set
4. TypeScript Errors: Run npm run build to check for compilation issues

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

DEBUG=true npm start

Or set in environment:

export DEBUG=true
export HYPERFY_WS_SERVER=ws://your-server:3000/ws
npm start

Health Check

Test server health:

curl http://localhost:3069/health

Should return: Hyperfy MCP Server - OK

Contributing

1. Follow the existing TypeScript patterns
2. Maintain strong typing throughout
3. Use FastMCP logging (context.log) for all output
4. Update types in src/types/index.ts as needed
5. Add comprehensive tests for new features
6. Update documentation for API changes
