This comprehensive review identifies significant bloat in the TailOpsMCP codebase and provides a detailed action plan for reducing code size by 16-20%.

Key findings:

  • 76,738 lines across 167 Python files
  • Legacy file (mcp_server_legacy.py) with 1,719 lines should be deleted
  • Multiple duplicate "enhanced" files that should be consolidated
  • Oversized files (Proxmox integration is 20% of entire codebase)
  • Over-engineered abstractions (multiple factory patterns)
  • Reduction potential: 12,000-15,000 lines without losing functionality

The report includes:

  • Detailed bloat analysis with priority levels (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
  • 5-phase action plan with effort estimates
  • Consolidation opportunities for duplicate files
  • Architecture recommendations for better code organization
  • Feature flag strategy to make advanced features optional
  • Success metrics and risk assessment

Estimated total effort: 206-288 hours across 5 phases
Quick wins (Week 1): Delete legacy file, clean imports, format code
