🛠️ Equipment Testing Results:

- ✅ POST /equipment_items - 100% success rate (12/12 vehicles created) - ✅ PUT /equipment_items - Updates work for telematic tracking and tags - ✅ Equipment tags structure - Same as people: equipment_item:tags:project:uuid + tag_list - ✅ Resource identifier filtering - Search by unique IDs works perfectly - ✅ External reference filtering - Search by external refs works perfectly - ✅ Project filtering - All vehicles properly assigned to Waratah project - ❌ Resource assignment via PUT - 422 errors (same pattern as people)

🔍 Search Instructions:

- All Heroes: Filter people by tag = superhero (returns all 24) - All Vehicles: Filter equipment by tag = superhero (returns all 12 vehicles) - All Resources: Combined search across people + equipment for complete superhero organization (36 total) - Teams: Filter by Avengers, Justice-League, X-Men, X-Force, etc. - Skills: Filter by Leadership, Technology, Security, Mystical, etc. - Vehicle Types: Filter by stealth, aircraft, combat, urban, mystical tags - Resource IDs: Search equipment by resource_identifier (e.g., BATMAN-001, IRONMAN-085) - Combined: Multiple tag filters for precise searches across entire superhero organization

📅 Deployment Details:

- Deployment Date: December 6, 2024, 21:02:40 - Target Project: _002 Standard EPCM Project - Waratah Process Facility - API Method: POST /people using mandatory fields only - Fields Used: given_names, family_name, initials

⚠️ Critical: Mandatory Fields for People Creation

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS: All people creation operations through this MCP MUST include project context and required fields to prevent creating orphaned resources.

🔒 REQUIRED FIELDS for People CREATE:

1. project_uuid - MANDATORY: Project UUID for resource assignment 2. given_names - MANDATORY: Person's first/given names 3. family_name - MANDATORY: Person's last/family name 4. initials - MANDATORY: Person's initials 5. company - MANDATORY: Company/organization 6. work_role - MANDATORY: Specific work role/job title 7. work_role_category - MANDATORY: Role category (e.g., "Project Management") 8. resource_assignment_start - MANDATORY: Assignment start date (YYYY-MM-DD) 9. tags - MANDATORY: Tags for identification (e.g., team names, competencies)

❌ MCP ENFORCEMENT:

- REJECTS any people CREATE request lacking mandatory fields - VALIDATES project_uuid corresponds to valid project - ENSURES proper project association from creation - PREVENTS creation of orphaned resources without context

Example VALID CREATE Request:

{

  "person": {

    "project_uuid": "<project_uuid>",

    "given_names": "Tony", "family_name": "Stark", "initials": "TS",

    "company": "Stark Industries", 

    "work_role": "Lead Project Manager",

    "work_role_category": "Project Management",

    "resource_assignment_start": "2025-06-04",

    "tags": "Avengers"

  }

}

⚠️ Critical: Sequential API Dependencies

IMPORTANT FOR LLM USAGE: Many SYNCHRO endpoints require prerequisite calls to obtain UUIDs before accessing filtered data.

🔄 Required Pattern for Project Queries:

1. First: Call list_projects to get available projects 2. Extract: Project UUID from the name/identifier 3. Then: Call project-filtered endpoints with filter[project][uuid]=<uuid>

Example Flow:

User: "Show people on Waratah project"

✅ Correct: list_projects → find Waratah UUID → list_people with filter

❌ Wrong: list_people with filter immediately (will fail)

📋 See MCP_USAGE_GUIDE.md for complete LLM integration patterns

🛠️ Setup

1. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure Authentication

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your SYNCHRO API credentials:
- SYNCHRO_BASE_URL: Your SYNCHRO server (e.g., https://your-server.e7.site/api)
- SYNCHRO_CLIENT_TOKEN: API client token from Settings > Administration > Users > API Tokens
- SYNCHRO_USER_TOKEN: API user token from Settings > Administration > Users > API Tokens

3. Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "synchro": {
      "command": "python3.11",
      "args": ["/path/to/repo_synchro_mcp/src/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "SYNCHRO_BASE_URL": "https://your-server.e7.site/api",
        "SYNCHRO_CLIENT_TOKEN": "your_client_token",
        "SYNCHRO_USER_TOKEN": "your_user_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
