 # MCP Classification Server
 
-Example MCP server that provides text classification with intelligent routing for the semantic router.
+Example MCP servers that provide text classification with intelligent routing for the semantic router.
 
-## Features
+## 📦 Two Implementations
+
+This directory contains **two MCP classification servers**:
+
+### 1. **Regex-Based Server** (`server.py`)
+
+- ✅ **Simple & Fast** - Pattern matching with regex
+- ✅ **Lightweight** - ~10MB memory, <5ms per query
+- ✅ **No Dependencies** - Just MCP SDK
+- 📝 **Best For**: Prototyping, simple rules, low-latency requirements
+
+### 2. **Embedding-Based Server** (`server_embedding.py`) 🆕
+
+- ✅ **High Accuracy** - Semantic understanding with Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
+- ✅ **RAG-Style** - FAISS vector database with similarity search
+- ✅ **Flexible** - Handles paraphrases, synonyms, variations
+- 📝 **Best For**: Production use, high-accuracy requirements
+
+**Choose based on your needs:**
+
+- **Quick start / Testing?** → Use `server.py` (regex-based)
+- **Production / Accuracy?** → Use `server_embedding.py` (embedding-based)
+
+---
+
+## Regex-Based Server (`server.py`)
+
+### Features
 
 - **Dynamic Categories**: Loaded from MCP server at runtime via `list_categories`
 - **Per-Category System Prompts**: Each category has its own specialized system prompt for LLM context
 - **Intelligent Routing**: Returns `model` and `use_reasoning` in classification response  
-- **Regex-Based**: Simple pattern matching (replace with ML models for production)
+- **Regex-Based**: Simple pattern matching (fast but limited)
 - **Dual Transport**: Supports both HTTP and stdio

+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements_embedding.txt
+
+# Start server (HTTP mode on port 8090)
+python3 server_embedding.py --http --port 8090
+```
+
+### Features
+
+- **Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B** model with 1024-dimensional embeddings
+- **FAISS vector database** for fast similarity search
+- **RAG-style classification** using 95 training examples
+- **Same MCP protocol** as regex server (drop-in replacement)
+- **Higher accuracy** - Understands semantic meaning, not just patterns

+Embedding-Based MCP Classification Server with Intelligent Routing
+
+This is an example MCP server that demonstrates:
+1. Text classification using semantic embeddings (RAG-style)
+2. Dynamic category discovery via list_categories
+3. Intelligent routing decisions (model selection and reasoning control)
+4. FAISS vector database for similarity search
+
+The server implements two MCP tools:
+- 'list_categories': Returns available categories with per-category system prompts and descriptions
+- 'classify_text': Classifies text using semantic similarity and returns routing recommendations
+
+Protocol:
+- list_categories returns: {
+    "categories": ["math", "science", "technology", ...],
+    "category_system_prompts": {
+      "math": "You are a mathematics expert...",
+      ...
+    },
+    "category_descriptions": {
+      "math": "Mathematical and computational queries",
+      ...
+    }
+  }
+- classify_text returns: {
+    "class": 0,
+    "confidence": 0.85,
+    "model": "openai/gpt-oss-20b",
+    "use_reasoning": true,
+    "probabilities": [...]
+  }
+
+Usage:
+  # Stdio mode (for testing with MCP clients)
+  python server_embedding.py
+
+  # HTTP mode (for semantic router)
+  python server_embedding.py --http --port 8090

+# MCP Classification Overview
+
+The Model Context Protocol (MCP) classification server feature enables semantic router to dynamically discover categories and classification logic from external MCP servers, providing a flexible and extensible classification system.
+
+## What is MCP Classification?
+
+MCP classification allows you to:
+
+- **Externalize classification logic** - Move category definitions and classification models outside the router
+- **Dynamic category discovery** - Categories are discovered at runtime via the `list_categories` tool
+- **Hot-reload capabilities** - Update categories without restarting the router
+- **Custom implementations** - Use any classification approach (regex, ML models, embeddings, etc.)
+- **Per-category system prompts** - Each category can have specialized LLM instructions
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### MCP Tools
+
+MCP classification servers must implement two tools:
+
+#### 1. `list_categories`
+
+Returns available categories with metadata:
+
+```json
+{
+  "categories": ["math", "science", "technology", ...],
+  "category_system_prompts": {
+    "math": "You are a mathematics expert...",
+    "science": "You are a science expert..."
+  },
+  "category_descriptions": {
+    "math": "Mathematical and computational queries",
+    "science": "Scientific concepts and queries"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. `classify_text`
+
+Classifies input text and returns routing information:
+
+```json
+{
+  "class": 0,
+  "confidence": 0.85,
+  "model": "openai/gpt-oss-20b",
+  "use_reasoning": true,
+  "probabilities": [0.85, 0.10, 0.03, 0.02],
+  "entropy": 0.65
+}
+```
+
+### Routing Intelligence
+
+MCP classifiers can return intelligent routing decisions:
+
+- **`model`** - Recommended model for the query type
+- **`use_reasoning`** - Whether to enable reasoning/chain-of-thought
+- **`confidence`** - Classification certainty (for fallback decisions)
+- **`entropy`** - Distribution uncertainty (for monitoring)
+
+### Per-Category System Prompts
+
+Each category can have a specialized system prompt that the router injects into LLM requests, providing domain-specific instructions:
+
+```
+Category: math → "You are a mathematics expert. Show step-by-step solutions..."
+Category: code → "You are a coding expert. Follow best practices..."
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+### Flexibility
+
+- **Multiple implementations** - Regex, ML models, embeddings, hybrid approaches
+- **Language agnostic** - MCP servers can be written in any language
+- **Easy experimentation** - Swap classification logic without router changes
+
+### Scalability
+
+- **Distributed classification** - Run classifiers on separate servers
+- **Load balancing** - Multiple classifier instances
+- **Caching** - Classification results can be cached
+
+### Maintainability
+
+- **Separation of concerns** - Classification logic separate from routing logic
+- **Independent updates** - Update categories without router downtime
+- **Testing** - Test classification independently
+
+## Implementation Options
+
+### 1. Regex-Based (Simple)
+
+**Best for:** Prototyping, simple rules, low-latency requirements
+
+- Pattern matching with regular expressions
+- ~1-5ms classification time

+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable MCP classification in your `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Classifier configuration
+classifier:
+  # Disable in-tree category classifier (leave model_id empty)
+  category_model:
+    model_id: ""  # Empty = disabled
+
+  # Enable MCP-based category classifier (HTTP transport only)
+  mcp_category_model:
+    enabled: true                    # Enable MCP classifier
+    transport_type: "http"           # HTTP transport
+    url: "http://localhost:8090/mcp" # MCP server endpoint    
+    threshold: 0.6                   # Confidence threshold
+    timeout_seconds: 30              # Request timeout
+```
+
+## When to Use MCP Classification

+# MCP Classification Protocol Specification
+
+This document defines the protocol specification for MCP classification servers compatible with semantic router.
+
+## Protocol Overview
+
+MCP classification servers communicate using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and must implement two required tools: `list_categories` and `classify_text`.
+
+## Transport Modes
+
+MCP servers can operate in two modes:
+
+### 1. HTTP Mode
+
+RESTful HTTP/JSON-RPC endpoint:
+
+```bash
+POST http://localhost:8090/mcp/tools/call
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "name": "classify_text",
+  "arguments": {
+    "text": "What is 2 + 2?"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Best for:** Production deployments, distributed systems, multiple router instances
+
+### 2. Stdio Mode
+
+Standard input/output communication:
+
+```bash
+python server.py  # Reads from stdin, writes to stdout
+```
+
+**Best for:** Local development, MCP Inspector testing, embedded scenarios
+
+## Required Tools
+
+### Tool 1: `list_categories`
+
+Discovers available categories and their metadata.
+
+#### Request
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "list_categories",
+  "arguments": {}
+}
+```
+
+#### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": [{
+    "type": "text",
+    "text": "{
+      \"categories\": [\"math\", \"science\", \"technology\", \"history\", \"general\"],
+      \"category_system_prompts\": {
+        \"math\": \"You are a mathematics expert. When answering math questions:\\n- Show step-by-step solutions with clear explanations\\n- Use proper mathematical notation and terminology\\n- Verify calculations and provide intermediate steps\\n- Explain the underlying concepts and principles\\n- Offer alternative approaches when applicable\",
+        \"science\": \"You are a science expert. When answering science questions:\\n- Provide evidence-based answers grounded in scientific research\\n- Explain relevant scientific concepts and principles\\n- Use appropriate scientific terminology\\n- Cite the scientific method and experimental evidence when relevant\\n- Distinguish between established facts and current theories\"
+      },
+      \"category_descriptions\": {
+        \"math\": \"Mathematical and computational queries\",
+        \"science\": \"Scientific concepts and queries\",
+        \"technology\": \"Technology and computing topics\",
+        \"history\": \"Historical events and topics\",
+        \"general\": \"General questions and topics\"
+      }
+    }"
+  }],
+  "isError": false
+}
+```
+
+#### Field Specifications
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `categories` | array[string] | **Yes** | List of category names (order determines indices) |
+| `category_system_prompts` | object | Optional | Per-category system prompts for LLM context |
+| `category_descriptions` | object | Optional | Human-readable category descriptions |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- Category order defines the class indices (first = 0, second = 1, etc.)
+- `category_system_prompts` should be provided for best routing results
+- System prompts are injected by the router when making LLM requests
+
+### Tool 2: `classify_text`
+
+Classifies input text and returns routing recommendations.
+
+#### Request
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "classify_text",
+  "arguments": {
+    "text": "What is the derivative of x squared?",
+    "with_probabilities": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Request Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `text` | string | **Yes** | The text to classify |
+| `with_probabilities` | boolean | Optional | Whether to return full probability distribution (default: false) |
+
+#### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": [{
+    "type": "text",
+    "text": "{
+      \"class\": 0,
+      \"confidence\": 0.92,
+      \"model\": \"openai/gpt-oss-20b\",
+      \"use_reasoning\": false,
+      \"probabilities\": [0.92, 0.03, 0.02, 0.02, 0.01],
+      \"entropy\": 0.45
+    }"
+  }],
+  "isError": false
+}
+```
+
+#### Response Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `class` | integer | **Yes** | Category index (0-based, matches `list_categories` order) |
+| `confidence` | float | **Yes** | Classification confidence score (0.0 to 1.0) |
+| `model` | string | **Yes** | Recommended model for this query type |
+| `use_reasoning` | boolean | **Yes** | Whether to enable reasoning/chain-of-thought |
+| `probabilities` | array[float] | Optional | Probability distribution across all categories |
+| `entropy` | float | Optional | Shannon entropy of the distribution |
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- `class` must be a valid index into the `categories` array from `list_categories`
+- `confidence` should represent the certainty of the classification
+- `model` should use the format expected by your LLM backend (e.g., "openai/gpt-4")
+- `use_reasoning` guides the router's reasoning parameter selection
+- `probabilities` length must match the number of categories
+- `entropy` can be used for uncertainty monitoring
+
+## Routing Intelligence
+
+### Model Selection
+
+The `model` field allows classifiers to recommend different models based on query characteristics:
+
+```python
+# Examples of routing logic
+if category == "math" and is_simple_calculation:
+    return "openai/gpt-oss-20b", False  # Fast model, no reasoning
+
+elif category == "code" and is_complex_task:
+    return "deepseek/deepseek-coder", True  # Specialized model with reasoning
+
+elif confidence < 0.6:
+    return "openai/gpt-4", True  # High-quality model for uncertain cases
+```
+
+### Reasoning Control
+
+The `use_reasoning` field enables/disables chain-of-thought reasoning:
+
+```python
+# Reasoning decision logic
+if word_count > 20 and has_complex_words:
+    use_reasoning = True  # Long complex queries benefit from reasoning
+
+elif category == "math" and is_simple:
+    use_reasoning = False  # Simple math doesn't need reasoning overhead
+
+elif confidence < 0.6:
+    use_reasoning = True  # Low confidence → use reasoning for safety
+```
+
+## HTTP API Details
+
+### Endpoint Structure
+
+MCP servers should support both styles:
+
+#### Style 1: Single Endpoint (JSON-RPC)
+
+```
+POST /mcp
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "method": "tools/call",
+  "params": {
+    "name": "classify_text",
+    "arguments": { "text": "..." }
+  },
+  "id": 1
+}
+```
+
+#### Style 2: REST-Style (Recommended)
+
+```
+POST /mcp/tools/call
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "name": "classify_text",
+  "arguments": { "text": "..." }
+}
+```
+
+### Health Check Endpoint
+
+Optional but recommended:
+
+```
+GET /health
+
+Response:
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "categories": ["math", "science", ...],
+  "model": "Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B",
+  "index_size": 95
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Return errors in the MCP format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "content": [{
+    "type": "text",
+    "text": "{\"error\": \"Error message here\"}"
+  }],
+  "isError": false
+}
+```
+
+Or as JSON-RPC error:
+
+```json
+{
+  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+  "id": 1,
+  "error": {
+    "code": -32603,
+    "message": "Internal error: ..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Initialization Sequence
+
+When the semantic router starts:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Router
+    participant MCP Server
+    
+    Router->>MCP Server: POST /mcp/initialize
+    MCP Server-->>Router: Server capabilities
+    
+    Router->>MCP Server: POST /mcp/tools/list
+    MCP Server-->>Router: Available tools
+    
+    Router->>MCP Server: classify_text → list_categories
+    MCP Server-->>Router: Categories + prompts
+    
+    Note over Router: Router is ready
+    
+    Router->>MCP Server: classify_text → classify_text
+    MCP Server-->>Router: Classification result
+```
+
+## Configuration in Semantic Router
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```yaml
+classification:
+  type: mcp
+  mcp_server:
+    url: "http://localhost:8090/mcp"
+    tools:
+      classify: "classify_text"
+      list_categories: "list_categories"
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+```yaml
+classification:
+  type: mcp
+  mcp_server:
+    url: "http://localhost:8090/mcp"
+    tools:
+      classify: "classify_text"
+      list_categories: "list_categories"
+    timeout: 5s                    # Request timeout
+    max_retries: 3                 # Retry failed requests
+    cache_categories: true         # Cache list_categories result
+    refresh_interval: 5m           # Re-fetch categories periodically
+  num_categories: 5                # Expected number (validated against server)
+  confidence_threshold: 0.6        # Minimum confidence for classification
+  fallback_category: "general"    # Category when confidence too low
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Latency
+
+- Target classification latency: under 100ms for production
+- Use caching for `list_categories` (changes infrequently)
+- Consider async/concurrent classification for batch requests
+
+### Caching
+
+Router may cache:
+
+- `list_categories` response (categories rarely change)
+- Recent `classify_text` results (identical queries)
+
+Implement cache-friendly behavior:
+
+- Deterministic results for same input
+- Reasonable confidence scores
+- Stable category definitions
+
+### Load Balancing
+
+For high-volume deployments:
+
+- Run multiple MCP server instances
+- Use load balancer in front of servers
+- Consider stateless design (no server-side sessions)
+
+## Validation
+
+### Category Index Validation
+
+```python
+# Server must ensure:
+assert 0 <= class_index < len(categories)
+assert class_index == category_to_index[category_name]
+```
+
+### Probability Validation
+
+```python
+# If returning probabilities:
+assert len(probabilities) == len(categories)
+assert 0.95 <= sum(probabilities) <= 1.05  # Allow rounding error
+assert all(0 <= p <= 1 for p in probabilities)
+```
+
+### Confidence Validation
+
+```python
+# Confidence should be meaningful:
+assert 0 <= confidence <= 1
+assert confidence >= max(probabilities) * 0.9  # Roughly consistent
+```
+
+## Testing Your Implementation
+
+### Using cURL
+
+```bash
+# Test list_categories
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/mcp/tools/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "list_categories", "arguments": {}}'
+
+# Test classify_text
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/mcp/tools/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name": "classify_text", "arguments": {"text": "What is 2+2?"}}'
+```
+
+### Using MCP Inspector
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+mcp-inspector python server.py
+```
+
+### Integration Test
+
+```bash
+# Start your MCP server
+python server.py --http --port 8090
+
+# Configure semantic router to use it
+# Send test queries through the router
+# Verify correct classification and routing
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Input Validation
+
+- Sanitize all text inputs
+- Enforce maximum text length
+- Rate limit classification requests
+
+### Authentication
+
+Consider adding authentication for production:
+
+```yaml
+classification:
+  type: mcp
+  mcp_server:
+    url: "http://localhost:8090/mcp"
+    headers:
+      Authorization: "Bearer ${MCP_API_KEY}"
+```
+
+### Network Security
+
+- Use HTTPS in production
+- Implement proper TLS certificate validation
+- Restrict network access to MCP server
+
+## Versioning
+
+Include version information in server responses:
+
+```json
+{
+  "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
+  "serverInfo": {
+    "name": "embedding-classifier",
+    "version": "1.0.0"
+  }
+}
+```
