# RPC Transport Config Boundary Cleanup Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Remove direct `wf_mcp` imports from `wf_transport_rpc_http` now that neutral `wf_config.server.sources[]` can describe MCP sources.
**Architecture:** Keep JSON-RPC transport modules focused on serving a `WorkflowServer`. Move config-to-server composition into a server-layer module that can select local/static or MCP-backed composition by config source kind. `wf_server.context` remains MCP-free; the new config composition module is the explicit boundary for source-provider selection.
**Tech Stack:** Typer CLI, `wf_config.WorkflowConfigFile`, `wf_server.WorkflowServer`, existing MCP-backed builder in `wf_mcp.broker.server`, AST import-direction tests.
---
## File Structure
- Create `src/wf_server/config.py`: server composition from neutral workflow config and legacy MCP config path.
- Modify `src/wf_transport_rpc_http/cli.py`: import server composition helpers from `wf_server.config`, not `wf_mcp.broker`.
- Modify `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_cli.py`: monkeypatch new helper paths.
- Modify `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_import_direction.py`: no change expected; it should pass once direct imports are removed.
- Create `tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py`: cover local/static and MCP-source selection.
- Modify docs after implementation.
## Current Context
`src/wf_transport_rpc_http/cli.py` currently imports:
```python
from wf_mcp.broker import (
build_workflow_server_from_config,
build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config,
load_broker_config,
)
```
That makes `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_import_direction.py` fail:
```python
def test_wf_transport_rpc_http_imports_no_wfmcp_modules() -> None:
...
assert violations == []
```
Do not remove the test. The transport package should not import MCP modules directly.
`src/wf_server/context.py` has a narrower guard in `tests/wf_server/test_local_static_server.py` that only checks `context.py` for `WfMcpService`. Keep `context.py` untouched.
## Task 1: Add Server Composition Tests
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Create test file**
Create `tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py`:
```python
from __future__ import annotations
from wf_config import WorkflowConfigFile
from wf_server.config import (
build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config,
build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config,
)
from wf_server.context import WorkflowServer
def test_build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config_uses_local_static_for_no_mcp_sources(
tmp_path,
) -> None:
config = WorkflowConfigFile.model_validate(
{
"version": 1,
"server": {
"store": {"kind": "filesystem", "root": str(tmp_path / "store")},
"sources": [{"kind": "stdlib", "id": "wf.std"}],
},
}
)
server = build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(config)
assert isinstance(server, WorkflowServer)
assert server.config.store_root == tmp_path / "store"
assert server.source_registry_admin is None
def test_build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config_uses_mcp_builder_for_mcp_sources(
monkeypatch, tmp_path
) -> None:
captured = {}
def fake_builder(config):
captured["source_kinds"] = [source.kind for source in config.server.sources]
return "mcp-server"
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_server.config._build_mcp_workflow_server_from_workflow_config",
fake_builder,
)
config = WorkflowConfigFile.model_validate(
{
"version": 1,
"server": {
"store": {"kind": "filesystem", "root": str(tmp_path / "store")},
"sources": [
{
"kind": "mcp",
"id": "everything.default",
"provider": "everything",
"account": "default",
"transport": {"kind": "stdio", "command": "uvx"},
}
],
},
}
)
server = build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(config)
assert server == "mcp-server"
assert captured["source_kinds"] == ["mcp"]
def test_build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config_delegates_to_mcp_builder(
monkeypatch, tmp_path
) -> None:
captured = {}
def fake_builder(path):
captured["path"] = path
return "legacy-mcp-server"
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_server.config._build_mcp_workflow_server_from_legacy_config",
fake_builder,
)
legacy_path = tmp_path / "wf_mcp.config.json"
legacy_path.write_text('{"store_root": "store", "connections": []}', encoding="utf-8")
server = build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config(legacy_path)
assert server == "legacy-mcp-server"
assert captured["path"] == legacy_path
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests and verify failure**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py -q
```
Expected: fail because `wf_server.config` does not exist.
## Task 2: Implement Server Config Composition Module
**Files:**
- Create: `src/wf_server/config.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Create module**
Create `src/wf_server/config.py`:
```python
from __future__ import annotations
from pathlib import Path
from wf_config import FilesystemStoreConfig, WorkflowConfigFile
from .context import WorkflowServer, build_local_static_workflow_server
def _has_mcp_sources(config: WorkflowConfigFile) -> bool:
return any(getattr(source, "kind", None) == "mcp" for source in config.server.sources)
def _build_mcp_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(
config: WorkflowConfigFile,
) -> WorkflowServer:
"""Build an MCP-backed server from neutral config.
This import is intentionally isolated here: transport packages should not
import MCP modules, while this server composition boundary is allowed to
select source-provider implementations by source kind.
"""
from wf_mcp.broker import build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config
return build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(config)
def _build_mcp_workflow_server_from_legacy_config(path: Path) -> WorkflowServer:
"""Build an MCP-backed server from legacy broker config."""
from wf_mcp.broker import build_workflow_server_from_config, load_broker_config
return build_workflow_server_from_config(load_broker_config(path))
def build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(
config: WorkflowConfigFile,
) -> WorkflowServer:
"""Build a WorkflowServer from neutral workflow config.
Local/static configs use built-in sources. Configs with `kind: "mcp"`
sources delegate to the MCP provider adapter.
"""
if _has_mcp_sources(config):
return _build_mcp_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(config)
store = config.server.store
if not isinstance(store, FilesystemStoreConfig):
raise ValueError("wf-rpc-server currently requires filesystem store")
return build_local_static_workflow_server(store.root)
def build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config(path: str | Path) -> WorkflowServer:
"""Build a WorkflowServer from legacy wf_mcp.config.json.
Prefer neutral `wf_config` for new setups. This compatibility hook keeps the
transport CLI free of direct MCP imports while existing users migrate.
"""
return _build_mcp_workflow_server_from_legacy_config(Path(path))
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py -q
```
Expected: pass.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run import-boundary check**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_server/test_local_static_server.py::test_wf_server_context_imports_no_wfmcp_service -q
```
Expected: pass because `context.py` was not changed.
## Task 3: Update RPC CLI to Use Server Composition Helpers
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/wf_transport_rpc_http/cli.py`
- Modify: `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_cli.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update imports**
Replace:
```python
from wf_mcp.broker import (
build_workflow_server_from_config,
build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config,
load_broker_config,
)
from wf_server import build_local_static_workflow_server
```
with:
```python
from wf_server.config import (
build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config,
build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config,
)
from wf_server.context import build_local_static_workflow_server
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update legacy mcp config branch**
Replace:
```python
if mcp_config is not None:
broker_config = load_broker_config(mcp_config)
server = build_workflow_server_from_config(broker_config)
```
with:
```python
if mcp_config is not None:
server = build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config(mcp_config)
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Remove duplicated mcp source detection from CLI**
Inside the `if config is not None:` block, remove:
```python
has_mcp_sources = any(
getattr(source, "kind", None) == "mcp"
for source in workflow_config.server.sources
)
if server is None and has_mcp_sources:
server = build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(workflow_config)
```
Then replace the local/static store handling block:
```python
store = workflow_config.server.store
if server is None and not isinstance(store, FilesystemStoreConfig):
raise typer.BadParameter(
"wf-rpc-server currently requires filesystem store"
)
if server is None:
resolved_store_root = resolved_store_root or store.root
```
with:
```python
store = workflow_config.server.store
if server is None and store_root is None:
server = build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config(workflow_config)
elif server is None:
if not isinstance(store, FilesystemStoreConfig):
raise typer.BadParameter(
"wf-rpc-server currently requires filesystem store"
)
resolved_store_root = resolved_store_root or store.root
```
Keep `--store-root` as an override for local/static configs. `--store-root` is still forbidden with `--mcp-config`; do not add new behavior there.
- [ ] **Step 4: Update tests monkeypatch paths**
In `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_cli.py`, update existing monkeypatches to
match the new boundary.
For `test_rpc_server_cli_uses_configured_store_and_transport`, stop monkeypatching
`build_local_static_workflow_server`; the CLI now delegates config-based server
composition to `build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config`.
Replace:
```python
def fake_build_server(root):
captured["store_root"] = root
return object()
```
with:
```python
def fake_build_server(config):
captured["store_root"] = config.server.store.root
return object()
```
Replace this monkeypatch:
```python
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_local_static_workflow_server",
fake_build_server,
)
```
with:
```python
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config",
fake_build_server,
)
```
Keep the assertion:
```python
assert captured["store_root"] == (tmp_path / ".wf_store").resolve()
```
For legacy MCP config tests, replace monkeypatch paths:
```python
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_config"
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config"
```
with:
```python
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config"
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_workflow_config"
```
If a test currently monkeypatches `load_broker_config`, remove that monkeypatch and have the fake legacy builder capture the config path directly.
For `test_rpc_server_cli_uses_mcp_config_server`, replace the two fake helpers:
```python
def fake_load_broker_config(path):
captured["mcp_config_path"] = path
return "broker-config"
def fake_build_mcp_server(config):
captured["mcp_config"] = config
return object()
```
with one helper:
```python
def fake_build_mcp_server(path):
captured["mcp_config_path"] = path
return object()
```
Replace the two monkeypatches:
```python
monkeypatch.setattr("wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.load_broker_config", fake_load_broker_config)
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_config",
fake_build_mcp_server,
)
```
with:
```python
monkeypatch.setattr(
"wf_transport_rpc_http.cli.build_workflow_server_from_legacy_mcp_config",
fake_build_mcp_server,
)
```
Remove the assertion:
```python
assert captured["mcp_config"] == "broker-config"
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run CLI tests**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_cli.py -q
```
Expected: pass.
## Task 4: Restore Transport Import-Direction Guard
**Files:**
- Test: `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_import_direction.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Run guard**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_import_direction.py -q
```
Expected: pass. If it fails, inspect `src/wf_transport_rpc_http` for any remaining `wf_mcp` imports and remove them.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run wider RPC subset**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_transport_rpc_http tests/wf_cli/test_remote_target.py -q
```
Expected: pass. The prior known failure should be gone.
## Task 5: Update Docs and Mark Cleanup Complete
**Files:**
- Modify: `docs/current_roadmap.md`
- Modify: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-03-long-lived-workflow-api-boundary.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update roadmap**
In `docs/current_roadmap.md`, under "Transport package boundary cleanup", append:
```markdown
Completed: `wf_transport_rpc_http` no longer imports `wf_mcp`; server
composition from neutral or legacy MCP config lives behind `wf_server.config`.
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update long-lived API spec**
In `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-03-long-lived-workflow-api-boundary.md`, under "Transport package boundary cleanup", append:
```markdown
Completed when `tests/wf_transport_rpc_http/test_import_direction.py` passes
and the RPC transport CLI imports only `wf_config`, `wf_server`, and transport
modules for server construction.
```
## Task 6: Final Verification and Commit
**Files:**
- All touched files.
- [ ] **Step 1: Run focused tests**
Run:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/wf_server/test_config_composition.py tests/wf_transport_rpc_http tests/wf_cli/test_remote_target.py -q
```
Expected: pass.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run lint/type checks**
Run:
```bash
uv run ruff check src/wf_server src/wf_transport_rpc_http tests/wf_server tests/wf_transport_rpc_http
uv run basedpyright --level error src/wf_server src/wf_transport_rpc_http tests/wf_server tests/wf_transport_rpc_http
```
Expected: pass with 0 errors.
- [ ] **Step 3: Commit**
Run:
```bash
git add src/wf_server src/wf_transport_rpc_http tests/wf_server tests/wf_transport_rpc_http docs/current_roadmap.md docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-03-long-lived-workflow-api-boundary.md
git commit -m "refactor: isolate rpc server config composition"
```
## Self-Review Checklist
- `src/wf_transport_rpc_http` contains no direct `wf_mcp` imports.
- `src/wf_server/context.py` remains MCP-free.
- The MCP-specific import is isolated in `src/wf_server/config.py` with a docstring explaining the boundary.
- `wf-rpc-server --config` still works for local/static and MCP-source neutral configs.
- `wf-rpc-server --mcp-config` still works as a legacy compatibility path.
