# Nexus-MCP local setup
Sharded enterprise integration MCP server for Active Directory, Entra ID, Workday, and cross-system drift auditing.
---
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.11 or newer
- Git
- PowerShell (Windows) or bash (Linux/macOS)
- Access to corporate systems (AD, Entra, Workday) or mock mode enabled
---
## Installation
### 1. Clone and navigate
```bash
cd /path/to/mcp_servers
cd nexus-mcp
```
### 2. Create virtual environment
```bash
python -m venv .venv
```
### 3. Activate virtual environment
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
```
**Windows (bash/Git Bash):**
```bash
source .venv/Scripts/activate
```
**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
source .venv/bin/activate
```
### 4. Install dependencies
```bash
pip install -e .
```
This installs nexus-mcp in editable mode with all required packages (mcp, httpx, python-dotenv, ldap3, msal, etc.).
---
## Configuration
### 1. Create .env file
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
### 2. Choose your mode
**Option A: Mock Mode (No credentials needed)**
Good for development, testing shards, and exploring drift scenarios.
```env
USE_MOCK=true
# Enable the shards you want to test
ENABLE_IDENTITY=true
ENABLE_WORKDAY=true
ENABLE_AUDIT=true
ENABLE_ITSM=false
ENABLE_ASSETS=false
ENABLE_LOGISTICS=false
# Audit logging
AUDIT_LOGGING_ENABLED=true
AUDIT_LOG_FILE=./logs/nexus_audit.jsonl
AUDIT_LOG_STDERR=true
```
**Option B: Live Mode (Production credentials)**
Requires actual service accounts and API credentials.
```env
USE_MOCK=false
# Enable only the shards where you have credentials
ENABLE_IDENTITY=true
ENABLE_WORKDAY=false # Set true when credentials available
ENABLE_AUDIT=true
ENABLE_ITSM=false
ENABLE_ASSETS=false
ENABLE_LOGISTICS=false
# Active Directory credentials
AD_SERVER=ldap://your-dc.company.com
AD_PORT=389
AD_BASE_DN=DC=company,DC=com
AD_USER=CN=svc_nexus,OU=Service Accounts,DC=company,DC=com
AD_PASSWORD=your_password
AD_USE_SSL=false
# Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
ENTRA_TENANT_ID=your_tenant_id
ENTRA_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
ENTRA_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
# (Add other system credentials as needed)
```
### 3. Verify configuration
Your `.env` file is never committed to git (listed in `.gitignore`).
---
## Running the server
### Start the MCP server
```bash
python src/main.py
```
**Expected output (mock mode):**
```
[nexus] ✅ identity shard loaded
[nexus] ✅ workday shard loaded
[nexus] ✅ audit shard loaded
[nexus] ⏸ itsm shard disabled (ENABLE_ITSM != true)
[nexus] ⏸ assets shard disabled (ENABLE_ASSETS != true)
[nexus] ⏸ logistics shard disabled (ENABLE_LOGISTICS != true)
[nexus] 🔒 SOC 2 audit middleware active — 16 tools wrapped → ./logs/nexus_audit.jsonl
```
The server runs on stdio transport and waits for MCP protocol messages.
---
## Claude Desktop integration
Add this to your Claude Desktop `config.json`:
**Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
**macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"nexus": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["src/main.py"],
"cwd": "C:/Users/your-username/repos/mcp_servers/nexus-mcp",
"env": {
"USE_MOCK": "true"
}
}
}
}
```
Restart Claude Desktop. You should see the Nexus tools in the tool picker.
---
## Feature flag reference
Control which shards load at startup:
| Flag | Shard | Systems | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ENABLE_IDENTITY` | identity.py | AD + Entra ID | `true` |
| `ENABLE_WORKDAY` | workday.py | Workday HCM | `true` |
| `ENABLE_AUDIT` | audit.py | Cross-system drift | `true` |
| `ENABLE_ITSM` | itsm.py | BMC Helix | `false` |
| `ENABLE_ASSETS` | assets.py | Lansweeper + Intune | `false` |
| `ENABLE_LOGISTICS` | logistics.py | FedEx | `false` |
Set a flag to `false` (or omit it) to put that shard in "holding pattern" mode. The server will start successfully but skip loading those tools.
---
## Testing
Run the test suite:
```bash
pytest tests/ -v
```
Run specific test modules:
```bash
pytest tests/identity_tests/ -v
pytest tests/workday_tests/ -v
```
Run with coverage:
```bash
pytest tests/ --cov=lib --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing
```
---
## Mock mode drift scenarios
The lib/mock_data.py file includes deliberate drift:
- **Bob Martinez:** title differs between AD ("Sr. Software Engineer") and Workday/Entra ("Software Engineer")
- **Carol Chen:** department differs — Workday "Product Management" vs AD "Engineering"
- **David Kim:** AD account disabled but Entra account still enabled
- **Emma Wilson:** AD stale account (no login in 120 days)
Use the audit tools to detect these:
```python
# In Claude chat with Nexus-MCP active
"Run audit_user_drift for Bob Martinez"
"Show me all stale AD accounts"
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Server won't start
- Check Python version: `python --version` (must be 3.11+)
- Verify virtual environment is active (you should see `(.venv)` in your prompt)
- Verify dependencies installed: `pip list | grep mcp`
### Shard not loading
- Check the feature flag in `.env`: `ENABLE_IDENTITY=true`
- Look for error messages in the startup output
- Verify the shard file exists: `ls src/shards/identity.py`
### Credentials not working (live mode)
- Test AD connectivity: `python -c "import ldap3; print(ldap3.__version__)"`
- Verify service account can bind to LDAP
- Check firewall rules if connecting to on-prem AD
### Audit log not writing
- Check permissions on the `logs/` directory
- Verify `AUDIT_LOGGING_ENABLED=true` in `.env`
- Check disk space
---
## Development workflow
### Adding a new tool to an existing shard
1. Edit the shard file: `src/shards/identity.py`
2. Add your tool function inside the `register(mcp)` function
3. Restart the server
4. Test with Claude Desktop
### Creating a new shard
1. Copy an existing shard as a template: `cp src/shards/identity.py src/shards/my_system.py`
2. Implement the `register(mcp)` function with your tools
3. Add the shard to `src/main.py`:
```python
if _enabled("MY_SYSTEM"):
my_system.register(mcp)
```
4. Add the feature flag to `.env.example`: `ENABLE_MY_SYSTEM=false`
### Switching between mock and live mode
Just change `USE_MOCK` in `.env` and restart:
```bash
# Switch to live
USE_MOCK=false
# Restart server
python src/main.py
```
No code changes needed — every shard checks the `USE_MOCK` flag automatically.
---
## SOC 2 audit logging
Every tool call is logged to `logs/nexus_audit.jsonl` (one JSON object per line).
Each entry contains:
- `event_id` — UUID v4 for correlation
- `timestamp` — ISO 8601 UTC
- `tool` — MCP tool name
- `shard` — identity | workday | audit | etc.
- `action_category` — READ | AUDIT | REPORT
- `args_summary` — call arguments with passwords/tokens redacted
- `mock_mode` — true/false
- `status` — success | error
- `latency_ms` — execution time
Query the audit log using the built-in tools:
```python
# In Claude chat
"Show me the last 50 audit log entries" # calls nexus_audit_recent
"Give me audit statistics" # calls nexus_audit_stats
```
---
## Next steps
1. Test mock mode with `USE_MOCK=true` to verify the shards load
2. Explore the drift scenarios using audit tools
3. Configure credentials for live systems
4. Enable additional shards as credentials become available
5. Build custom reports using the audit shard tools
For more details, see [README.md](README.md) for the full tool reference.

## Architecture: The Shard Contract
Every shard file exposes exactly one function:
```python
def register(mcp: FastMCP) -> None:
@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool(...) -> ...:
"""Tool docstring visible to the LLM."""
...
```
The orchestrator (`src/main.py`) reads feature flags and calls `register(mcp)` for each enabled shard. **No other file is changed to add or remove a shard.**
### Adding a new shard
1. Create `src/shards/my_system.py` following the template above.
2. Add the adapter to `lib/` if needed.
3. Add one line to `src/main.py`:
```python
from shards import my_system
if _enabled("MY_SYSTEM"):
my_system.register(mcp)
```
4. Add `ENABLE_MY_SYSTEM=true` to `.env`.
### Holding pattern
Leave a shard unregistered (or set flag to `false`) to hold it without breaking anything:
```python
# 🔴 Planned — credentials not yet available
# if _enabled("MY_SYSTEM"):
# my_system.register(mcp)
```

# Enterprise System Resilience Feature
## Overview
This document describes the enterprise system resilience feature that resolves **CRITICAL #1** from the code health report: "No Resilience When Enterprise Systems Fail."
**Problem:** Your HTTP clients crashed on any API failure. If Workday went down during a weekly drift audit, the ENTIRE audit failed—even though AD and Entra data were still accessible.
**Solution:** Automatic retry logic with exponential backoff, circuit breaker pattern, and graceful degradation allow drift audits to continue with partial data when some systems are unavailable.
---
## Features
### 1. Automatic Retry Logic
All HTTP clients automatically retry transient failures with exponential backoff:
- **Max Attempts:** 3 (configurable)
- **Backoff Strategy:** 2s → 4s → 8s exponential delay
- **Retries On:** 5xx errors, timeouts, connection errors
- **Does NOT Retry:** 4xx errors (client errors like 404 are instant failures)
**Example: Transient Failure**
```
Attempt 1: 503 Service Unavailable → wait 2s
Attempt 2: 503 Service Unavailable → wait 4s
Attempt 3: Data returned → success ✓
```
### 2. Circuit Breaker Pattern
Prevents hammering a failing service by "opening the circuit":
- **Threshold:** 5 consecutive failures triggers the circuit to open
- **Open State (60s):** Subsequent requests fail instantly with `CircuitBreakerOpenError` (no timeout waste)
- **Half-Open State (testing):** After 60s timeout, one test request allowed
- **Close State (recovery):** If test succeeds, circuit closes and normal operation resumes
**Example: Sustained Failure**
```
Requests 1-5: Each retries 3 times (network errors)
Request 6: Circuit opens immediately (no retry)
Request 7: Circuit still open, fails fast (<100ms)
After 60s: Circuit half-open, test request sent
Test success: Circuit closes, normal retries resume
```
### 3. Graceful Degradation in Audit Tools
Audit tools wrap each system call separately, so if one system fails, the audit continues with available systems:
**audit_user_drift() Example:**
```python
# Before: Any failure crashed the entire audit
# After: Wraps each system separately
try:
wd_data = await _get_wd().get("/staffing/v6/workers", ...)
systems_available.append("Workday")
except Exception as e:
systems_failed.append("Workday")
logger.warning(f"Workday unavailable: {e}")
# Continue with AD and Entra even if Workday failed...
```
**Response Example:**
```json
{
"email": "john.doe@wheels.com",
"systems_checked": ["Workday", "ActiveDirectory", "Entra"],
"systems_available": ["ActiveDirectory", "Entra"],
"systems_failed": ["Workday"],
"workday_found": false,
"ad_found": true,
"entra_found": true,
"discrepancy_count": 1,
"discrepancies": [
{
"field": "job_title",
"system_a": "ActiveDirectory",
"value_a": "Senior Engineer",
"system_b": "Entra",
"value_b": "Engineer",
"severity": "medium"
}
]
}
```
### 4. Proactive Health Monitoring
**New Tool: `check_system_health()`**
Pings all enterprise systems and returns availability + response times:
```json
{
"timestamp": "2026-04-13T14:30:00Z",
"systems": {
"Workday": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": 245},
"ActiveDirectory": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": 150},
"Entra": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": 320},
"Lansweeper": {"available": false, "error": "TimeoutException..."},
"Intune": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": 280},
"Helix": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": 410}
},
"summary": {
"total_systems": 6,
"available_systems": 5,
"unavailable_systems": 1,
"availability_percentage": 83
}
}
```
**Use Case:** Run this before bulk audits to decide whether to proceed or wait.
---
## Implementation Details
### Modified Files
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `pyproject.toml` | Added `tenacity>=8.2.0` dependency |
| `lib/resilience.py` | **NEW** — Retry decorator, circuit breaker, 404 handler |
| `lib/workday_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `get()`, `raas()` |
| `lib/entra_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `get()`, `get_all_pages()` |
| `lib/helix_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `get()`, `post()` |
| `lib/intune_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `get()` |
| `lib/lansweeper_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `gql()` |
| `lib/fedex_client.py` | Applied `@resilient_http_call` to `post()` |
| `src/shards/audit.py` | Graceful degradation in `audit_user_drift()`, `audit_device_drift()`, new `check_system_health()` tool |
| `tests/test_resilience.py` | **NEW** — 12 comprehensive unit tests |
### Decorators
#### @resilient_http_call
Applies retry logic and circuit breaker to async HTTP functions:
```python
from resilience import resilient_http_call
@resilient_http_call(service_name="Workday", max_attempts=3)
async def get(self, path: str) -> dict:
resp = await self._http.get(url)
resp.raise_for_status()
return resp.json()
```
**Parameters:**
- `service_name` (str): Service identifier for logging and circuit breaker tracking
- `max_attempts` (int): Maximum retry attempts (default: 3)
- `enable_circuit_breaker` (bool): Whether to use circuit breaker (default: True)
#### @handle_404_gracefully
Converts 404 errors to `None` instead of raising:
```python
from resilience import handle_404_gracefully
@handle_404_gracefully
@resilient_http_call(service_name="Entra")
async def get_user(user_id: str) -> dict | None:
resp = await self._http.get(f"/users/{user_id}")
resp.raise_for_status()
return resp.json()
result = await get_user("nonexistent-id") # Returns None instead of raising
```
---
## Testing
### Run All Tests
```bash
cd nexus-mcp
pytest tests/test_resilience.py -v
```

```
### Manual Testing
#### Test 1: Graceful Degradation
**Setup:**
1. Edit `.env` — temporarily invalidate one credential (e.g., `WORKDAY_CLIENT_ID=invalid`)
2. Ensure `USE_MOCK=false` (live mode)
**Run:**
```bash
python src/main.py
# In MCP client:
audit_user_drift(email="test@example.com")
```
**Expected Result:**
```json
{
"systems_available": ["ActiveDirectory", "Entra"],
"systems_failed": ["Workday"],
"discrepancy_count": 1
}
```
**Verification:**
- ✅ No crash
- ✅ Audit continues with available systems
- ✅ Drift comparison runs for AD ↔ Entra
#### Test 2: Circuit Breaker
**Setup:**
1. Simulate sustained Workday outage (disable service or firewall block)
2. Credentials valid but service unreachable
**Run:**
```bash
python src/main.py
# In MCP client:
audit_bulk_user_drift(emails=["user1@example.com", "user2@example.com", ..., "user10@example.com"])
```
**Expected Logs:**
```
[audit_user_drift] Workday: Attempt 1/3 (retry on transient error)
[audit_user_drift] Workday: Attempt 2/3 (retry on transient error)
[audit_user_drift] Workday: Attempt 3/3 (retry on transient error)
[resilience] [Workday] Circuit CLOSED → OPEN (5 consecutive failures)
[audit_user_drift] Workday: CircuitBreakerOpenError (fast-fail)
```
**Verification:**
- ✅ First 5 requests retry 3 times each
- ✅ Subsequent requests fail instantly (< 100ms)
- ✅ Logs show circuit state transitions
#### Test 3: Retry on Transient Failure
**Setup:**
1. Valid credentials
2. Introduce 1-second network delay (via proxy or `tc` on Linux)
**Run:**
```bash
python src/main.py
# In MCP client:
audit_user_drift(email="test@example.com")
```
**Expected Result:**
- ✅ Tool succeeds (after retries)
- ✅ Response includes full drift data
- ✅ Logs show "Retry attempt 1/3", "Retry attempt 2/3"
#### Test 4: Health Check
**Run:**
```bash
python src/main.py
# In MCP client:
check_system_health()
```
**Expected Result:**
```json
{
"summary": {
"total_systems": 6,
"available_systems": 6,
"availability_percentage": 100
},
"systems": {
"Workday": {"available": true, "response_time_ms": ...},
...
}
}
```
**Decision Logic:**
- If `availability_percentage >= 80`: Safe to run bulk audits
- If `availability_percentage < 80`: Postpone or expect partial results
---
## Deployment
### Prerequisites
```bash
# Navigate to nexus-mcp
cd nexus-mcp
# Install dependencies (including tenacity)
pip install -e .
```
### Verify Installation
```bash
python -c "from resilience import resilient_http_call; print('✓ Installed')"
```
### Run in Production
**With credential-based authentication:**
```bash
USE_MOCK=false python src/main.py
```
**With mock data (testing):**
```bash
USE_MOCK=true python src/main.py
```
### Monitoring
Watch logs for:
- `[resilience]` messages — retry events, circuit breaker state changes
- `CircuitBreakerOpenError` — indicates sustained service outage
- Retry counts — indicates transient network issues
**Example Alert Rules:**
- If `"CircuitBreakerOpenError found in logs"` → Investigate service
- If `"Retry attempt 2/3" repeated > 10 times in 5 minutes` → Network degradation
- If `"Circuit.*OPEN"` → Service outage (escalate to on-call)
---
## Troubleshooting
### Symptom: "CircuitBreakerOpenError: Workday circuit breaker is OPEN"
**Cause:** 5 consecutive Workday failures within the monitoring window.
**Solution:**
1. Check Workday status (https://status.workday.com)
2. Verify credentials in `.env` — test manually with `curl` or Postman
3. Check network connectivity — can you reach `api.myworkday.com`?
4. Wait 60 seconds for circuit to enter half-open state and test recovery
5. Monitor logs for `"Circuit HALF_OPEN → CLOSED"` indicating recovery
### Symptom: Audit returns empty `systems_available` list
**Cause:** All systems are down or credentials are invalid.
**Solution:**
1. Run `check_system_health()` to identify which system is down
2. For downed systems:
- Check system status pages
- Verify network connectivity
- Wait for service to recover
3. For credential issues:
- Verify `.env` has valid credentials
- Test credentials manually via API (e.g., `curl` for Workday OAuth)
- Regenerate tokens/credentials if expired
### Symptom: Slow response times even on successful requests
**Observe:** Use `check_system_health()` to identify slow systems.
**Solution:**
- If `response_time_ms > 5000`: System is under load, expect slower audits
- Network latency → Consider running audits during low-traffic windows
- Consider increasing timeouts if system is reliably slow but functional
### Symptom: Excessively verbose retry logs
**Cause:** Transient network issues causing multiple retries.
**Solution:**
- Expected during network instability
- Monitor for patterns (e.g., always fails at certain time)
- Use `check_system_health()` to confirm system is reachable
- If persistent, investigate network (firewall, ISP, proxy issues)
---
## Configuration
### Retry Policy
**Currently Hard-Coded:**
- Max attempts: 3
- Backoff: exponential (2s, 4s, 8s)
**To Customize:**
Edit retry decorator in [lib/resilience.py](lib/resilience.py):
```python
@resilient_http_call(service_name="Workday", max_attempts=5) # ← Change here
```
### Circuit Breaker Threshold
**Currently Hard-Coded:**
- Failure threshold: 5 consecutive failures
- Timeout before half-open: 60 seconds
**To Customize:**
Edit [lib/resilience.py](lib/resilience.py):
```python
breaker = CircuitBreaker("Workday", failure_threshold=10, timeout_seconds=120)
```
---
## Future Enhancements
1. **Configurable Retry Policy** — Move retry/backoff settings to `.env` or config file
2. **Metrics & Observability** — Track retry counts, circuit breaker events in audit logs
3. **Token Expiration Handling** — Cache token expiry times and refresh proactively (CRITICAL #2)
4. **PowerShell Command Injection Fix** — Use parameterized queries to prevent AD injection attacks (CRITICAL #3)
5. **Database Fallback** — Cache drift results locally for offline resilience
6. **Rate Limiting** — Implement exponential backoff to respect API rate limits

The server uses synthetic data from `lib/drift_detection.py` containing:
- 9 employee records (EMP001-EMP777)
- Pre-seeded mismatch scenarios across 4 dimensions
- Realistic organizational hierarchy (CEO → Directors → Managers → ICs)
**For Production:** Set `USE_MOCK=false` and configure real API credentials in `.env`
---
## How to Run
### Quick Test (No Config Required)
```bash
# Single tool demonstration
python test_client.py
# Full tool catalog
python list_tools.py
# MCP protocol simulation
python test_mcp_protocol.py
```
### Run All Tests
```bash
# Unit + Integration tests
python -m pytest tests/workday_tests/ tests/integration_test_audit_shard.py -v
# Expected: 10 passed in ~0.6s
```
### Start MCP Server
```bash
# With mock data (no credentials needed)
python src/main.py
# Server will load on stdio and wait for MCP protocol requests
```
---
## Integration with Claude Desktop
Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"nexus": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["C:\\Users\\castn1.CORP\\OneDrive - Wheels\\Repos\\mcp_servers\\nexus-mcp\\src\\main.py"],
"cwd": "C:\\Users\\castn1.CORP\\OneDrive - Wheels\\Repos\\mcp_servers\\nexus-mcp",
"env": {
"USE_MOCK": "true"
}
}
}
}
```
Claude will then have access to all 48 tools including the new audit scanners.
