Secure Token Storage - -- Created a dedicated `token_storage.py` module for securely storing OAuth tokens -- Implemented thread-safe operations with proper locking mechanisms -- Added token expiration checking and metadata storage -- Stored tokens in a separate JSON file instead of environment variables or session - -### 2. Improved OAuth Application - -- Revamped the OAuth app to provide clearer user information -- Added proper token handling and storage -- Implemented secure API endpoints for the MCP server to retrieve tokens -- Added health check and token info endpoints for debugging -- Improved error handling and user feedback - -### 3. Enhanced MCP Server - -- Completely restructured the MCP server to align with the MCP protocol -- Implemented connection management with unique connection IDs -- Added proper tool action handling for Basecamp operations -- Improved error handling and logging -- Created endpoints for checking required parameters and connection status - -### 4. Better Authentication Flow - -- Separated authentication concerns between the OAuth app and MCP server -- Implemented proper token refresh handling for expired tokens -- Added support for both OAuth and Personal Access Token authentication modes -- Implemented better parameter validation and error messages - -### 5. Testing and Documentation - -- Created comprehensive test scripts for verifying the implementation -- Added detailed logging for debugging -- Created a comprehensive README with setup and usage instructions -- Documented the architecture and components for easier maintenance - -## Architecture - -The new architecture follows best practices for OAuth integration: - -1. **User Authentication**: Handled by the OAuth app, completely separate from the MCP server -2. **Token Storage**: Centralized and secure, with proper expiration handling -3. **MCP Server**: Focused on the MCP protocol, delegating authentication to the OAuth app -4. **Client Library**: Clean separation of concerns between authentication, API calls, and search functionality - -## Next Steps - -To further improve this implementation: - -1. **Production Readiness**: - - Replace file-based token storage with a proper database - - Add HTTPS support for both the OAuth app and MCP server - - Implement more robust API authentication between the MCP server and OAuth app - -2. **Feature Enhancements**: - - Add support for more Basecamp resource types - - Implement webhook support for real-time updates - - Add caching for improved performance - -3. **Security Improvements**: - - Add rate limiting to prevent abuse - - Implement proper token encryption - - Add audit logging for security events - -This implementation provides a solid foundation for a production-ready Basecamp integration with Cursor through the MCP protocol. \ No newline at end of file
