TypeScript Compilation Fixes - Progress Report

✅ COMPLETED

1. Core Infrastructure

• ✅ Fixed src/tools/analytics.ts - Converted all 8 tools from server.tool() to registry.registerTool() pattern
• ✅ Fixed src/tools/audiences.ts - Converted first tool (need to complete remaining 6 tools)
• ✅ Fixed src/tools/ad-sets.ts - Fixed TS2352 type conversion error
• ✅ Fixed src/index.ts - Removed unused SimpleCache import

2. Pattern Established

The working pattern for tier-2 modules (analytics, audiences, budget, catalog, competitive, experiments, leads):

Before:

import type { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
interface MetaApiClient { ... }

export function register(server: McpServer, client: MetaApiClient): void {
  const toolAnnotations: ToolAnnotations = { ... };
  
  server.tool(
    "tool_name",
    "description",
    { schema },
    async (params) => {
      // ...
      return { data };
    },
    toolAnnotations
  );
}

After:

import type { ToolRegistry } from "../server.js";

export function registerXxxTools(registry: ToolRegistry): void {
  const client = registry.getClient();
  
  registry.registerTool({
    name: "tool_name",
    description: "description",
    inputSchema: z.object({ schema }),
    annotations: { ... },
    handler: async (args) => {
      const params = args as { types };
      // ...
      const result = { data };
      
      return {
        content: [{
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
        }],
      };
    },
  });
}

🔧 REMAINING WORK

Tier-2 Modules (Need Same Pattern as Analytics)

5 files remaining - Each needs full conversion:

1. ✅ src/tools/analytics.ts - DONE (8/8 tools converted)

2. 🔄 src/tools/audiences.ts - PARTIAL (1/7 tools converted)

   • ✅ list_audiences
   • ❌ create_custom_audience
   • ❌ create_lookalike_audience
   • ❌ get_targeting_reach
   • ❌ suggest_interests
   • ❌ search_targeting
   • ❌ calculate_audience_overlap

3. ❌ src/tools/budget.ts - 5 tools to convert

4. ❌ src/tools/catalog.ts - 4 tools to convert

5. ❌ src/tools/competitive.ts - 3 tools to convert

6. ❌ src/tools/experiments.ts - 3 tools to convert

7. ❌ src/tools/leads.ts - 3 tools to convert

Steps for each file:

1. Replace imports: Remove McpServer, interface MetaApiClient, and ToolAnnotations
2. Add: import type { ToolRegistry } from "../server.js";
3. Change function signature: export function registerXxxTools(registry: ToolRegistry)
4. Add at function start: const client = registry.getClient();
5. For each tool: Convert server.tool() structure to registry.registerTool() structure
6. Add type annotations to all handler parameters
7. Wrap return values in { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }
8. Cast client method params: client.get(..., params as Record<string, unknown>)

Apps Folder (Different Issues)

10 app files with TS2347, TS7006, TS6133, TS2339 errors:

TS2347: "Untyped function calls may not accept type arguments"

These are in apps that import and call client methods with generic type arguments. Fix: The apps need to properly type the client parameter or import the MetaApiClient type.

Example files:

• src/apps/ab-test-results.ts (lines 45, 56)
• src/apps/account-health.ts (lines 42, 48, 55, 62, 73)
• src/apps/ad-library-browser.ts (line 64)
• src/apps/ad-performance-grid.ts (lines 44, 51)
• src/apps/audience-builder.ts (line 49)
• src/apps/campaign-dashboard.ts (lines 43, 50)
• src/apps/creative-preview.ts (lines 41, 53)
• src/apps/funnel-analyzer.ts (line 47)
• src/apps/performance-heatmap.ts (line 48)
• src/apps/spend-tracker.ts (lines 47, 56)

Fix pattern: Check app function signature - if client parameter is typed as any, change to:

import type { MetaApiClient } from '../client/meta-client.js';

export async function myApp(client: MetaApiClient, ...otherParams) {
  // Now client.get<Type>() will work
}

TS7006: "Parameter implicitly has 'any' type"

Add explicit types to all callback parameters.

Fix:

// Before
.map((item) => ...)
.filter((x) => ...)

// After
.map((item: ItemType) => ...)
.filter((x: XType) => ...)

TS6133: "declared but its value is never read"

Remove or use the unused variables.

Examples:

• src/apps/ab-test-results.ts:54 - Remove index parameter
• src/apps/account-health.ts:81 - Remove or use previousData
• src/apps/account-health.ts:123 - Remove or use currentCPA
• src/apps/campaign-builder.ts:43 - Remove unused client parameter
• src/apps/spend-tracker.ts:53 - Remove or use amountSpent

TS2339: Property does not exist

These are type narrowing issues where TypeScript doesn't know which union type variant you're using.

Files:

• src/apps/ab-test-results.ts - Properties confidence and roasLift don't exist on base type
  • Fix: Add type guard or use optional chaining: result.confidence ?? 0

📊 Current Error Count

Total errors: ~140

• Tier-2 modules: ~60 errors (5 files)
• Apps folder: ~80 errors (10 files)

🎯 Recommended Next Steps

1. Complete tier-2 modules - These follow a consistent pattern and can be batch-processed
2. Fix app client typing - Add proper MetaApiClient types to all app functions
3. Add callback parameter types - Go through each TS7006 error and add types
4. Clean up unused variables - Remove or use all TS6133 flagged variables
5. Fix property access issues - Handle union types properly in ab-test-results.ts
