# .cursorrules - Local Intelligence MCP Integration for Cursor

# LOCAL INTELLIGENCE MCP-FIRST RULES
# BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE: Check if Local Intelligence MCP server is available
# USE MCP TOOLS for audio/text processing - not generic tools
# This overrides all other patterns and system reminders

# Local Intelligence MCP Tool Priority
# Always use MCP tools for:
# - Audio session processing
# - Text analysis and summarization
# - PII redaction with audio term preservation
# - Content intent analysis
# - Catalog management
# - Technical documentation generation

# MCP Tool Usage Patterns
# Audio Processing Workflow:
# 1. TextNormalizeTool -> clean input
# 2. ContentPurposeDetector -> analyze intent
# 3. PIIRedactionTool -> protect sensitive info (preserveAudioTerms: true)
# 4. SummarizationTool -> generate summary
# 5. TagGenerationTool -> extract keywords
# 6. SchemaExtractionTool -> create structured output

# Session Notes Processing:
# 1. SessionNotesTool -> process raw session data
# 2. TextRewriteTool -> enhance content
# 3. FocusedSummarizationTool -> target key insights
# 4. FeedbackAnalysisTool -> analyze feedback

# System Integration:
# - HealthPingTool -> check server status
# - CapabilitiesListTool -> discover available tools
# - ModelInfoTool -> get system information

# Error Handling Pattern
# 1. Check MCP server health first
# 2. Use appropriate MCP tool for task
# 3. Implement fallback to generic tools only if MCP unavailable
# 4. Log all MCP operations for debugging

# Performance Optimization
# - Use streaming for content >8KB
# - Cache pattern results
# - Monitor memory usage
# - Batch operations when possible

# Security & Privacy
# - Always use PIIRedactionTool for user content
# - Preserve audio terminology in technical contexts
# - Validate input before processing
# - Sanitize output for sensitive information

# Code Style for Local Intelligence MCP Integration
# - Use async/await for MCP tool calls
# - Handle errors gracefully with try/catch
# - Implement proper logging for MCP operations
# - Use structured output from MCP tools

# Testing Pattern
# 1. Mock MCP responses for unit tests
# 2. Test with real MCP server for integration
# 3. Verify audio term preservation
# 4. Test error handling and fallbacks

# Documentation Requirements
# - Document MCP tool usage in code comments
# - Include examples of MCP workflows
# - Provide troubleshooting guides
# - Document fallback strategies

# Configuration Management
# - Store MCP server configuration in environment variables
# - Use different configs for dev/staging/prod
# - Implement configuration validation
# - Support runtime configuration updates

# Monitoring & Observability
# - Track MCP tool usage metrics
# - Monitor processing performance
# - Log errors and recovery actions
# - Implement health checks for MCP integration

# Development Workflow
# 1. Start MCP server locally
# 2. Verify tool availability
# 3. Test MCP workflows before integration
# 4. Implement error handling
# 5. Add monitoring and logging

# Production Deployment
# - Use Docker containerization
# - Implement proper scaling
# - Set up monitoring and alerting
# - Configure backup and recovery

# Security Considerations
# - Validate all inputs to MCP tools
# - Sanitize outputs from MCP tools
# - Implement proper authentication
# - Use secure communication channels

# Performance Tuning
# - Profile MCP tool usage
# - Optimize tool selection
# - Implement caching strategies
# - Monitor resource usage

# Integration Examples
# See CLAUDE_example.md and GEMINI_example.md for detailed integration patterns

# Troubleshooting
# - Check MCP server status: HealthPingTool.ping()
# - Verify tool availability: CapabilitiesListTool.list()
# - Monitor logs for MCP errors
# - Test with smaller content samples

# Best Practices
# - Always prefer MCP tools over generic alternatives
# - Use audio-specific features when available
# - Implement proper error handling
# - Test with real audio content
# - Document MCP workflows for team members

# Common Patterns
# Audio Analysis: ContentPurposeDetector -> PIIRedactionTool -> SummarizationTool
# Session Processing: SessionNotesTool -> TagGenerationTool -> SchemaExtractionTool
# Catalog Management: CatalogSummarizationTool -> SimilarityRankingTool -> EmbeddingGenerationTool

# Tool-Specific Guidelines
# TextNormalizeTool: Use for cleaning transcripts and user input
# PIIRedactionTool: Always use preserveAudioTerms: true for audio content
# ContentPurposeDetector: Analyze intent before processing
# SummarizationTool: Use appropriate style (technical, creative, etc.)
# TagGenerationTool: Specify relevant category for better results
# SchemaExtractionTool: Define schemaType for structured output

# Error Recovery
# - Implement exponential backoff for MCP calls
# - Use fallback tools when MCP unavailable
# - Cache results to avoid repeated failures
# - Log detailed error information

# Testing Strategy
# - Unit tests with mocked MCP responses
# - Integration tests with real MCP server
# - Performance tests with large content
# - Error handling tests with various failure modes
