Overview

Whisperwynd is an interactive storytelling and persona-driven world-building application. It blends lightweight FastAPI services, Adaptive Cards, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to provide both human-friendly and AI-integrated interfaces.

This project introduces structured configuration, observability, secure authentication, enhanced persona handling, and MCP interoperability—transforming Whisperwynd into a resilient and extensible AI-ready platform.

Key Features

• Persona-Driven Storytelling - Rich character profiles with avatars and metadata
• FastAPI Backend - Lightweight, modern Python web framework
• AI Integration - MCP server for seamless AI tool integration
• Observability - Built-in health checks and runtime metrics
• Secure Authentication - Environment-based configuration
• Adaptive Cards - Dynamic UI components for personas
• Hot Reload - Developer-friendly auto-reload during development

Key Contributions

Bot Configuration (bot.xml)

• Metadata Added: bot name, description, author, maintainer, version
• Authentication Externalized: Sensitive values (clientId, clientSecret) moved to environment variables:

export BOT_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
export BOT_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

Application Enhancements (app.py)

Imports & Dependencies

• Removed heavy external dependencies (Azure Blob, WeasyPrint, dotenv)
• Added lightweight modules (json, datetime, functools.wraps, defaultdict, deque)

Configuration Handling

• Environment-based configuration (no .env dependency)
• Startup validation to ensure required keys exist

Error Handling & Logging

• Structured logging for startup and runtime events
• Centralized error responses with clear debug output

New Endpoints

• /health → Application readiness check
• /stats → Runtime metrics (requests, failures, response times)

Developer Experience

• Auto-reload during development (Werkzeug + watchdog)
• Cleaner code separation with decorators and helpers

Persona Retrieval (GetPersonas-*.json)

• Adaptive Card now includes title, description, role, and avatar image
• Introduced health check scope with user-friendly error messages
• Updated schema for richer persona profiles

Whisperwynd MCP Server

Two complementary components:

• mcp_server.py → Stdio-based MCP server for AI tools (Claude, GPT)
• mcp_web_server.py → Web interface for human debugging & workflow validation

Functional Fixes

• Corrected escaped newline handling in JavaScript
• Fixed UUID conflicts in client communication
• Refined web server code for stability

MCP Advantages

• Protocol standardization (ecosystem-ready)
• Auto-discovery of tools/resources (list_tools, list_resources)
• Structured error handling & logging
• Seamless integration with AI IDEs (VS Code, Cursor) and AI agents

Installation

# Clone repository
https://github.com/MITHRADEVIK3009/Whisperwynd-Forge.git
cd whisperwynd

# Set environment variables
export BOT_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
export BOT_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run FastAPI app
uvicorn app:app --reload

Usage

Basic Setup

1. Start the main application:

   uvicorn app:app --reload
   

2. Access the application:

   • App: http://localhost:8000

Health Monitoring

• Health Check: Visit /health → check readiness
• Runtime Metrics: Visit /stats → view runtime metrics

MCP Integration

1. Launch MCP server:

   python mcp_server.py
   

2. Web interface for MCP debugging:

   python mcp_web_server.py
   

API Endpoints

Configuration

Environment Variables

# Required
BOT_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
BOT_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

# Optional
DEBUG=true
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

Bot Configuration (bot.xml)

The bot configuration includes metadata and authentication settings:

<bot>
  <metadata>
    <n>Whisperwynd</n>
    <description>Interactive storytelling application</description>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
  </metadata>
  <auth>
    <clientId>${BOT_CLIENT_ID}</clientId>
    <clientSecret>${BOT_CLIENT_SECRET}</clientSecret>
  </auth>
</bot>

Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• FastAPI
• Uvicorn
• Required dependencies (see requirements.txt)

Development Mode

# Install development dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

# Run with auto-reload
uvicorn app:app --reload --debug

# Run MCP server in development
python mcp_server.py --debug

Future Directions

• Expand persona metadata with abilities and backstories
• Add persistence layer (Postgres or vector DB) for long-term state
• Extend MCP tools for richer storytelling workflows
• Enhanced UI with more interactive Adaptive Cards
• Advanced search and filtering for personas
• Mobile-responsive design improvements
• Enhanced security with OAuth2/JWT authentication
