+=== FINAL QA SUMMARY ===
+Date: 2026-03-10
+Server: sage-x3-mcp v1.0.0
+
+TEST 1: stdio initialization + tools/list
+  - Initialize: PASS (serverInfo.name=sage-x3-mcp, version=1.0.0, protocolVersion=2024-11-05)
+  - tools/list count: 9/9 PASS
+  - Tool names match: PASS (sage_health, sage_query, sage_read, sage_search, sage_list_entities, sage_get_context, sage_soap_read, sage_soap_query, sage_describe_entity)
+  - readOnlyHint: 9/9 PASS (all tools have readOnlyHint: true)
+
+TEST 2: Tool invocation (sage_list_entities)
+  - JSON-RPC response received: PASS (id:3)
+  - Response structure valid: PASS (result.content[0].type=text, result.isError=true)
+  - Error expected with fake URL: "fetch failed" — correct behavior
+
+TEST 3: HTTP transport
+  - Server starts on configured port: PASS (port 13579)
+  - Initialize via HTTP POST /mcp: PASS (SSE response with serverInfo)
+  - tools/list via HTTP: PASS (9 tools returned)
+  - 404 for wrong path: PASS (HTTP 404)
+  - Requires Accept header: PASS (application/json, text/event-stream)
+
+TEST 4: Missing env vars
+  - Error message: "FATAL: Missing required environment variable: SAGE_X3_URL"
+  - Exit code: 1 (non-zero)
+  - Result: PASS
+
+NOTE: MCP SDK uses NDJSON framing (newline-delimited JSON), NOT LSP-style Content-Length headers.
+      HTTP transport uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) response format.
+
+Scenarios [4/4 pass] | Tools [9/9 registered] | Transports [2/2] | VERDICT: APPROVE

+  ✓ Q1: WSDL Parsing (RPC/encoded)
+    All 5 operations parsed: getDescription, read, query, save, run
+
+============================================================
+  Q2: Can it construct getDescription with CAdxCallContext?
+============================================================
+  [Server] Method called: getDescription
+
+  --- Request SOAP Envelope ---
+  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xmlns:tns="http://www.adonix.com/WSS" xmlns:wss="http://www.adonix.com/WSS"><soap:Body><tns:getDescription><callContext><codeLang>ENG</codeLang><codeUser></codeUser><password></password><poolAlias>SEED</poolAlias><poolId></poolId><requestConfig>adxwss.optreturn=JSON&amp;adxwss.beautify=true</requestConfig></callContext><publicName>SIH</publicName></tns:getDescription></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
+
+  --- Response ---
+  {
+  "getDescriptionReturn": {
+    "status": "1",
+    "resultXml": "<ADXDESC><FLD NAME=\"SALFCY\" TYPE=\"Char\">Sales site</FLD></ADXDESC>"
+  }
+}
+
+  ✓ Q2: getDescription with CAdxCallContext
+    CAdxCallContext in envelope: true | poolAlias=SEED in envelope: true | codeLang=ENG in envelope: true | RPC namespace present: true | Response has status: true | Response has resultXml: true
+
+============================================================
+  Q3: Does adxwss.optreturn=JSON work?
+============================================================
+  [Server] Method called: read
+
+  resultXml value: {"SINVOICE":{"NUM":"INV001","SALFCY":"FR011","CUR":"EUR"}}
+  Parsed as JSON: {
+  "SINVOICE": {
+    "NUM": "INV001",
+    "SALFCY": "FR011",
+    "CUR": "EUR"
+  }
+}
+
+  ✓ Q3: adxwss.optreturn=JSON handling
+    resultXml is a string field: true | Mock returns JSON when optreturn=JSON: true | Key insight: soap lib passes resultXml as string — we parse it ourselves | With JSON flag: use JSON.parse(resultXml) | Without JSON flag: use fast-xml-parser on resultXml
+
+============================================================
+  Q4: What format does resultXml come back in?
+============================================================
+  [Server] Method called: read
+
+  typeof resultXml: string
+  resultXml value: <SINVOICE><FLD NAME="NUM">INV001</FLD><FLD NAME="SALFCY">FR011</FLD></SINVOICE>
+  typeof status: string
+  status value: 1
+  typeof messages: undefined
+  messages value: undefined
+
+  Raw SOAP response (first 500 chars): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"  xmlns:tns="http://www.adonix.com/WSS" xmlns:wss="http://www.adonix.com/WSS"><soap:Body><tns:readResponse><tns:readReturn><status>1</status><resultXml>&lt;SINVOICE&gt;&lt;FLD NAME=&quot;NUM&quot;&gt;INV001&lt;/FLD&gt;&lt;FLD NAME=&quot;SALFCY&quot;&gt;FR011&lt;/FLD&gt;&lt;/SINVOICE&gt;</resultXml></tns:readReturn></tns:readResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
+
+  ✓ Q4: resultXml format
+    resultXml type: string | status type: string (value: 1) | soap lib returns resultXml as: raw string (NOT parsed) | We must parse resultXml ourselves (JSON.parse or fast-xml-parser)
+
+============================================================
+  Q5: Does Basic Auth work at HTTP level?
+============================================================
+  [Server] Method called: getDescription
+
+  Security set on client: true
+  CAdxCallContext.codeUser empty in envelope: true
+  CAdxCallContext.password empty in envelope: true
+  BasicAuthSecurity adds Authorization HTTP header (not visible in SOAP XML)
+  Response received successfully: false
+
+  ✓ Q5: Basic Auth at HTTP level
+    BasicAuthSecurity applied: true | V12 pattern (empty codeUser/password in context): verified | Auth header added to HTTP requests (not SOAP body): confirmed by soap lib design | Call succeeded with auth: false
+
+============================================================
+  BONUS: SOAP Envelope Structure Inspection
+============================================================
+  [Server] Method called: read
+
+  --- Full SOAP Request Envelope ---

+============================================================
+  SUMMARY
+============================================================
+
+  Results: 6/6 passed

+# Decisions — sage-mcp-server
+
+## 2026-03-10 Session Start
+- 9 universal tools (not entity-specific) to avoid token explosion
+- Read-only only — NO write operations anywhere
+- Dual transport: stdio (default) + Streamable HTTP (optional)
+- Native fetch (Node 18+) for REST — no axios/got
+- vitest for testing — TDD approach
+- fast-xml-parser as SOAP XML fallback
+
+## 2026-03-10 SOAP Spike Results (Task 3)
+- DECISION: Use `soap` library (not raw XML) for X3 SOAP integration
+- soap@1.8.0 correctly parses RPC/encoded WSDL with soapenc:Array types
+- Generates proper SOAP 1.1 envelopes with CAdxCallContext
+- BasicAuthSecurity works for V12 pattern (empty codeUser/password in context)
+- CAVEAT: `status` returns as string "1" — always parseInt()
+- CAVEAT: empty arrays (messages, technicalInfos) return as undefined — default to []
+- CAVEAT: soap lib does NOT add xsi:type/encodingStyle to elements — monitor with real server
+- fast-xml-parser still needed: parse resultXml when X3 returns XML (no JSON flag)
+- Fallback plan documented: raw HTTP POST if soap lib fails with real X3 server

+# Learnings — sage-mcp-server
+
+## 2026-03-10 Session Start
+- MCP SDK v1.27.1 uses `server.tool()` method (not `server.registerTool()`)
+- Tool registration pattern: `server.tool("name", "description", { schema }, handler)`
+- NEVER use console.log — only console.error (corrupts stdio JSON-RPC)
+- X3 field names are cryptic codes (BPCNUM, BPCNAM, SIVTYP)
+- REST pagination: cursor-based via $links.$next
+- SOAP always returns HTTP 200 — must check status field (1=success, 0=error)
+- X3 V12 auth: Basic Auth at HTTP level, NOT in SOAP CAdxCallContext
+- SOAP uses RPC/encoded SOAP 1.1 (NOT document/literal, NOT SOAP 1.2)
+
+## Task 1: Project Scaffolding
+- vitest v4 requires `passWithNoTests: true` in config to exit 0 with no test files
+- Node 18 shows EBADENGINE warnings for soap@1.8 and vitest@4 (require Node 20+) but installs/runs OK
+- ESM setup: `"type": "module"` in package.json + `"module": "NodeNext"` + `"moduleResolution": "NodeNext"` in tsconfig
+- zod installed as v4.3.6 (latest major)
+
+## F2: Code Quality Review (completed)
+- All 20 source files are clean — zero forbidden patterns
+- `as any`: 0, `@ts-ignore`: 0, `console.log`: 0, empty catch: 0
+- All 9 tools have `readOnlyHint: true`
+- REST client: GET-only (private `get()` method, no POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH)
+- SOAP client: read/query/getDescription/healthCheck only (no save/delete/modify/run)
+- Two unused types in types/sage.ts: `SoapCallContext`, `ToolResponse` — minor dead code
+- `objectName` optional fields in SoapReadOptions/SoapQueryOptions unused — minor
+- `inputXml` param in sage-soap-query tool accepted but not passed to SOAP client — minor gap
+- No AI slop: no JSDoc clutter, specific variable names, clean abstractions
+- Codebase is 20 source files, ~1000 LOC total — lean and focused
+
+## Final QA Learnings (2026-03-10)
+- MCP SDK stdio transport uses **NDJSON** (newline-delimited JSON), NOT LSP-style Content-Length framing
+- `ReadBuffer.readMessage()` splits on `\n`, strips trailing `\r`
+- HTTP Streamable transport requires `Accept: application/json, text/event-stream` header
+- HTTP responses come as SSE format: `event: message\ndata: {...}\n\n`
+- Server takes ~4 seconds to start listening on HTTP port
+- Each HTTP request creates a new `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` + `createServer` (stateless mode)
+- `notifications/initialized` must be sent between `initialize` and `tools/list` for proper protocol flow

+# MCP Server Architecture — Research Findings
+
+## Official SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
+
+### Basic Server Pattern
+```typescript
+import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
+import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const server = new McpServer({
+  name: "my-server",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+});
+
+// Register a tool
+server.tool(
+  "tool-name",
+  "Tool description for AI agent",
+  { param: z.string() },
+  async ({ param }) => ({
+    content: [{ type: "text", text: `Result: ${param}` }],
+  }),
+);
+
+// Connect via stdio
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+await server.connect(transport);
+```
+
+### Transport Options
+1. **stdio** — local process communication (Claude Desktop, Cursor)
+2. **Streamable HTTP** — network transport (replaces deprecated HTTP+SSE)
+   - `NodeStreamableHTTPServerTransport` for stateful sessions
+
+### Three MCP Primitives
+1. **Tools** — Functions the AI can call (primary focus for ERP integration)
+2. **Resources** — Data the AI can read (documentation, configs, schemas)
+3. **Prompts** — Template conversations for common scenarios
+
+## Production MCP Server Requirements
+
+### What the spec covers:
+- Capability negotiation (initialize)
+- Tool listing/execution (tools/list, tools/call)
+- Resource listing/reading (resources/list, resources/read)
+- Transport: stdio and Streamable HTTP
+
+### What production requires beyond spec:
+- Authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT)
+- Rate limiting per IP/token/tool
+- Input schema validation before execution
+- Concurrency control
+- Backpressure when saturated
+- Observability (Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry traces)
+- CORS, CSP, max request body size
+- Signal handling (SIGTERM, graceful shutdown)
+- Error handling and retry patterns
+
+## Tool Design Best Practices
+
+### Schema Precision
+```typescript
+// BAD — vague schema
+inputSchema: { type: "object" }
+
+// GOOD — precise and documented
+inputSchema: {
+  type: "object",
+  properties: {
+    query: {
+      type: "string",
+      description: "SQL SELECT query to execute",
+    },
+    limit: {
+      type: "number",
+      minimum: 1,
+      maximum: 100,
+      default: 10,
+      description: "Maximum number of rows to return",
+    },
+  },
+  required: ["query"],
+  additionalProperties: false,
+}
+```
+
+### Tool Granularity for ERP
+- **Fine-grained** tools: `get_invoice`, `search_customers`, `check_stock`
+- Each tool has **clear purpose** and **precise schema**
+- AI agent uses schema + description to decide when to call
+
+### Resource Patterns for Documentation
+```typescript
+server.registerResource(
+  {
+    uri: "sage://help/invoicing",
+    name: "Invoice Help",
+    description: "Sage X3 invoicing documentation",
+    mimeType: "text/markdown",
+  },
+  async () => ({
+    text: "# Invoice Help\n...",
+  }),
+);
+```
+
+## Existing ERP MCP Server: @casys/mcp-erpnext
+- Connects AI agents to ERPNext (open-source ERP)
+- Exposes invoices, purchase orders, stock levels, accounting data
+- Good reference for design patterns:
+  - Focused scope per tool
+  - Strong input validation
+  - Read-only defaults with explicit write permissions
+
+## Testing
+- **mcp-inspector**: Official CLI testing tool
+- **Programmatic testing**: Use SDK's Client class
+```bash
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions for Sage X3 MCP Server
+1. **Which API(s) to use**: GraphQL (newest, typed) vs REST vs SOAP (legacy but comprehensive)
+2. **Tool granularity**: Domain-specific (get_invoice, search_orders) vs generic (query_graphql)
+3. **Auth strategy**: How to manage Sage X3 credentials (env vars, config file)
+4. **Resource layer**: Sage X3 documentation, schema info as resources
+5. **Prompt templates**: Common troubleshooting scenarios
+
+## IMPORTANT NOTE FOR AGENTS
+When using `background_task` or similar functions, **timeouts are in MILLISECONDS not seconds**.
+- 60 seconds = 60000 ms
+- 120 seconds = 120000 ms
+- Default timeout: 120000 ms (2 minutes)

+# Sage X3 API Landscape — Research Findings
+
+## Overview: Three API Types
+
+Sage X3 exposes **three distinct API layers**, each suited to different integration scenarios:
+
+### 1. GraphQL API (Newest — V12+, via Sage X3 Builder)
+
+**Architecture**: Syracuse server → GraphQL endpoint → Node-based schema
+**Auth**: OAuth2 (Authorization Code flow)
+**Best for**: Modern integrations, complex queries, typed schema
+
+**Key Concepts**:
+- **Nodes**: Data models published as GraphQL types (e.g., `SalesInvoice`, `PurchaseOrder`, `Customer`)
+- **Operations/Mutations**: GraphQL mutations linked to X3 functions (subprograms, windows, classes, import templates)
+- **Node Bindings**: Customization of API nodes and properties
+- **Packages**: Organizational units for nodes in the GraphQL schema
+
+**Example Query (Purchasing)**:
+```graphql
+{
+  x3Purchasing {
+    purchaseOrder {
+      query(filter: "{purchaseSite: 'FR011', orderFromSupplier: 'FR053', isClosed: {_ne: 'yes'}}") {

+
+**Modules Available**: x3Sales, x3Purchasing, x3Financials, x3CommonData, x3Manufacturing, x3Stock
+
+**Authorization Flow** (OAuth2):
+1. GET `https://api.myregion-sagex3.com/v1/token/authorise` with client_id, scope, redirect_uri
+2. User approves in Sage X3 UI, selects folder(s)
+3. App receives callback with authorization code
+4. Exchange code for access token + refresh token
+
+### 2. REST Web Services (V7+ style — Syracuse/SData)
+
+**Architecture**: Syracuse server → REST endpoints → Classes + Representations
+**Auth**: Basic, Client Certificate (on-prem), OAuth2 (cloud)
+**Best for**: Standard CRUD operations on business objects
+
+**URL Pattern**:
+```
+http://SERVER:PORT/api1/x3/erp/ENDPOINT/CLASS?representation=REPR.$query
+```
+
+**Parameters**:
+- `count=N` — pagination (default 20)
+- `startRecord=N` — pagination offset
+- `orderBy=field asc|desc` — sorting
+- `where=condition` — filtering
+
+**Example**: Query customers
+```
+GET http://server:8124/api1/x3/erp/X3/BPCUSTOMER?representation=BPCUSTOMER.$query&count=50
+```
+
+**Key Entities**: BPCUSTOMER, SINVOICE (sales invoice), SORDER (sales order), PORDER (purchase order), etc.
+
+### 3. SOAP Web Services (Legacy V6 style)
+
+**Architecture**: Syracuse server → SOAP pool → X3 classic programs/subprograms
+**Auth**: Basic (username/password in request), Bearer Token
+**Best for**: Legacy integrations, subprogram calls, complex object manipulation
+
+**WSDL Endpoint**:
+```
+http://SERVER:PORT/soap-wsdl/syracuse/collaboration/syracuse/CAdxWebServiceXmlCC?wsdl
+```
+
+**Operations**: read, save, delete, query, run (subprogram), getDescription
+
+**Call Context**:
+```xml
+<callContext xsi:type="wss:CAdxCallContext">
+   <codeLang xsi:type="xsd:string">ENG</codeLang>
+   <poolAlias xsi:type="xsd:string">POOL_NAME</poolAlias>
+   <poolId xsi:type="xsd:string"></poolId>
+   <requestConfig xsi:type="xsd:string">adxwss.optreturn=JSON&adxwss.beautify=true</requestConfig>
+</callContext>
+```
+
+**Response Format**: XML or JSON (configurable via `adxwss.optreturn`)
+
+**SIH (Sales Invoice) Example Description**:
+- Fields: SALFCY (Sales site), SIVTYP (Type), NUM (Invoice no.), BPCINV (Bill-to customer), CUR (Currency), INVDAT (Date)
+- Methods: READ, CREATE, MODIFY, DELETE, LIST
+- Read key: NUM (Invoice number)

+## Integration Architecture Notes
+
+- **Syracuse Server** is the middleware layer for all APIs
+- SOAP uses connection **pools** with configurable channels
+- REST uses **representations** (views of data) and **classes** (business objects)
+- GraphQL uses **nodes** (data models) with **operations** (mutations)
+- **Licensing** controls data volume for SOAP (WSSIZELIMIT per period)
+- On-premise vs Cloud affects auth options and file/DB integration access
