## Configuration File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
The MCP Server uses a hierarchical configuration structure:
|
||||
The MCP Server uses environment variables for configuration, with support for different environments (development, test, production):
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
server:
|
||||
host: 0.0.0.0
|
||||
port: 8123
|
||||
log_level: INFO
|
||||
|
||||
security:
|
||||
jwt_secret: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
|
||||
allowed_origins:
|
||||
- http://localhost:3000
|
||||
- https://your-domain.com
|
||||
|
||||
devices:
|
||||
scan_interval: 30
|
||||
default_timeout: 10
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# .env, .env.development, or .env.test
|
||||
PORT=4000
|
||||
NODE_ENV=development
|
||||
HASS_HOST=http://192.168.178.63:8123
|
||||
HASS_TOKEN=your_token_here
|
||||
JWT_SECRET=your_secret_key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Server Settings
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Server Configuration
|
||||
- `host`: Server binding address (default: 0.0.0.0)
|
||||
- `port`: Server port number (default: 8123)
|
||||
- `log_level`: Logging level (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR)
|
||||
- `PORT`: Server port number (default: 4000)
|
||||
- `NODE_ENV`: Environment mode (development, production, test)
|
||||
- `HASS_HOST`: Home Assistant instance URL
|
||||
- `HASS_TOKEN`: Home Assistant long-lived access token
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Settings
|
||||
- `jwt_secret`: Secret key for JWT token generation
|
||||
- `allowed_origins`: CORS allowed origins list
|
||||
- `ssl_cert`: Path to SSL certificate (optional)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Device Management
|
||||
- `scan_interval`: Device state scan interval in seconds
|
||||

|
||||
- `retry_attempts`: Number of retry attempts for failed commands
|
||||
### WebSocket Settings
|
||||
- `SSE`: Server-Sent Events configuration
|
||||
- `MAX_CLIENTS`: Maximum concurrent clients (default: 1000)
|
||||
- `PING_INTERVAL`: Keep-alive ping interval in ms (default: 30000)
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Environment variables override configuration file settings:
|
||||
All configuration is managed through environment variables:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0
|
||||
MCP_PORT=8123
|
||||
MCP_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
|
||||
MCP_JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key
|
||||
# Server
|
||||
PORT=4000
|
||||
NODE_ENV=development
|
||||
|
||||
# Home Assistant
|
||||
HASS_HOST=http://your-hass-instance:8123
|
||||
HASS_TOKEN=your_token_here
|
||||
|
||||
# Security
|
||||
JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key
|
||||
|
||||
# Logging
|
||||
LOG_LEVEL=info
|
||||
LOG_DIR=logs
|
||||
LOG_MAX_SIZE=20m
|
||||
LOG_MAX_DAYS=14d
|
||||
LOG_COMPRESS=true
|
||||
LOG_REQUESTS=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Rate Limiting
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
rate_limit:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
requests_per_minute: 100
|
||||
burst: 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Security Rate Limiting
|
||||
Rate limiting is enabled by default to protect against brute force attacks:
|
||||
|
||||
### Caching
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cache:
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
ttl: 300 # seconds
|
||||
max_size: 1000 # entries
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
RATE_LIMIT: {
|
||||
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
|
||||
max: 100 // limit each IP to 100 requests per window
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Logging
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
logging:
|
||||
file: /var/log/mcp-server.log
|
||||
max_size: 10MB
|
||||
backup_count: 5
|
||||
format: "%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s"
|
||||
The server uses Bun's built-in logging capabilities with additional configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
LOGGING: {
|
||||
LEVEL: "info", // debug, info, warn, error
|
||||
DIR: "logs",
|
||||
MAX_SIZE: "20m",
|
||||
MAX_DAYS: "14d",
|
||||
COMPRESS: true,
|
||||
TIMESTAMP_FORMAT: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss:ms",
|
||||
LOG_REQUESTS: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For production deployments, we recommend using system tools like `logrotate` for log management.
|
||||
|
||||
Example logrotate configuration (`/etc/logrotate.d/mcp-server`):
|
||||
```
|
||||
/var/log/mcp-server.log {
|
||||
daily
|
||||
rotate 7
|
||||
compress
|
||||
delaycompress
|
||||
missingok
|
||||
notifempty
|
||||
create 644 mcp mcp
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. Always use environment variables for sensitive information
|
||||
2. Keep configuration files in a secure location
|
||||
3. Regularly backup your configuration
|
||||
4. Use SSL in production environments
|
||||
2. Keep .env files secure and never commit them to version control
|
||||
3. Use different environment files for development, test, and production
|
||||
4. Enable SSL/TLS in production (preferably via reverse proxy)
|
||||
5. Monitor log files for issues
|
||||
6. Regularly rotate logs in production
|
||||
|
||||
## Validation
|
||||
|
||||
The server validates configuration on startup:
|
||||
- Required fields are checked
|
||||
The server validates configuration on startup using Zod schemas:
|
||||
- Required fields are checked (e.g., HASS_TOKEN)
|
||||
- Value types are verified
|
||||
- Ranges are validated
|
||||
- Security settings are assessed
|
||||
- Enums are validated (e.g., LOG_LEVEL)
|
||||
- Default values are applied when not specified
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Common configuration issues:
|
||||
1. Permission denied accessing files
|
||||
2. Invalid YAML syntax
|
||||
3. Missing required fields
|
||||
4. Type mismatches in values
|
||||
1. Missing required environment variables
|
||||
2. Invalid environment variable values
|
||||
3. Permission issues with log directories
|
||||
4. Rate limiting too restrictive
|
