Implementation Summary

Bugs Fixed ✅

1. MCP Server 500 Error

Problem: The MCP server was returning HTTP 500 errors when processing requests.

Root Cause: The server wasn't checking if required environment variables and services were initialized before attempting to use them. The global variables in utils.py were conditionally initialized, causing NameError when accessed.

Solution:

• Added environment variable validation in server.py
• Implemented try-catch error handling around all tool functions
• Added logging for debugging
• Graceful error messages returned to clients

Files Modified:

• src/notebookllama/server.py

2. TracerProvider Override Warning

Problem: Warning message "Overriding of current TracerProvider is not allowed" appearing in logs.

Root Cause: Multiple Streamlit pages were each initializing their own TracerProvider instance, causing conflicts.

Solution:

• Created global singleton pattern for instrumentation
• Moved initialization to instrumentation_init.py
• All pages now import and use the same instance
• Initialization happens once on application start

Files Created:

• src/notebookllama/instrumentation_init.py

3. PostgreSQL Connection Issues

Problem: Could not connect to PostgreSQL from application.

Root Cause:

• Local PostgreSQL instance was running on port 5432, intercepting connections meant for Docker
• Incorrect user credentials in .env file

Solution:

• Stopped local PostgreSQL service
• Fixed environment variables (pgql_user from "localhost" to "postgres")
• Recreated Docker volumes with correct configuration

Files Modified:

• .env
