Project Report Cards

Regular comprehensive assessments of the Seed MCP Server codebase to track quality, security, and best practices over time.

What is a Report Card?

A report card is a comprehensive assessment of the project covering:

• Code Quality - TypeScript configuration, linting, testing, and code organization
• Best Practices - Error handling, logging, configuration management, and documentation
• MCP Implementation - Protocol compliance, tool design, and session management
• Security - Authentication, authorization, input validation, and hardening
• Pentest Readiness - Security posture and vulnerability assessment

Each report card provides:

• Overall grade and detailed section scores
• Specific strengths and weaknesses
• Actionable recommendations
• Code examples and configuration reviews

Generating a New Report Card

To generate a comprehensive report card for this project, use the following prompt with Claude Code:

Please conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Seed MCP Server project and generate a detailed report card covering:

1. **Code Quality (Weight: 25%)**
   - TypeScript configuration strictness
   - ESLint configuration and rule enforcement
   - Test coverage and quality
   - Code organization and structure
   - Type safety implementation

2. **Best Practices (Weight: 25%)**
   - Error handling patterns
   - Logging and observability
   - Configuration management
   - Documentation completeness
   - Dependency management

3. **MCP Implementation (Weight: 20%)**
   - MCP SDK usage and compliance
   - Tool registration and design
   - Session management
   - Transport handling
   - Resource and prompt implementation

4. **Security (Weight: 20%)**
   - Authentication implementation
   - Authorization and access control
   - Input validation and sanitization
   - Security headers and middleware
   - Secrets management
   - Rate limiting
   - Dependency vulnerabilities

5. **Pentest Readiness (Weight: 10%)**
   - Common vulnerability patterns (OWASP Top 10)
   - Attack surface analysis
   - Security hardening
   - Deployment security

For each section:
- Provide a letter grade (A-F) and percentage score
- List specific strengths with code examples
- Identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities
- Give actionable recommendations

Format the output as:
- Executive summary with overall grade
- Detailed section assessments
- Code examples where relevant
- Prioritized recommendations
- Pentest summary with CVE-style findings

Save the report as wiki/developer/report-card/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Report Card Methodology

Each assessment follows a consistent methodology:

Scoring System

• A (90-100) - Excellent, production-ready with minor improvements possible
• B (80-89) - Good, solid implementation with some areas needing attention
• C (70-79) - Acceptable, functional but requires improvements
• D (60-69) - Below standard, significant improvements needed
• F (<60) - Unsatisfactory, critical issues present

Weight Distribution

1. Code Quality: 25%
2. Best Practices: 25%
3. MCP Implementation: 20%
4. Security: 20%
5. Pentest Readiness: 10%

Review Frequency

Recommended schedule:

• Major releases - Full assessment before release
• Quarterly - Regular health check
• Post-incident - After security incidents or major bugs
• On-demand - When significant changes are made

Next Steps

After each report card:

1. Review findings with the team
2. Prioritize recommendations based on severity
3. Create issues for actionable items
4. Track improvements in subsequent assessments
5. Update documentation based on findings
