[![MCP](https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-Model%20Context%20Protocol-green.svg)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)

A **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server for political bias detection using a fine-tuned T5-large model with LoRA adapters. This server provides tools for analyzing news articles, opinion pieces, and political commentary for political leaning.

## Features

- **Political Bias Detection**: Analyzes text for Left/Center/Right political leaning
- **Bias Intensity**: Measures Low/Medium/High degree of bias
- **Reasoning**: Provides explanations for classifications
- **Hardware Acceleration**: Supports MPS (Apple Silicon), CUDA, and CPU
- **MCP Integration**: Works with AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol
- **Batch Processing**: Analyze multiple texts efficiently

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install bias-mcp-server
```

**That's it!** The package includes the trained LoRA adapter (~18MB), so it works out of the box.

### Quick Start

```python
from mcp_bias_server.bias_engine import BiasEngine

# Works immediately - no additional setup needed
engine = BiasEngine()
result = engine.analyze("Your news text here...")
print(result.to_dict())
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bias-mcp-server.git
cd bias-mcp-server
pip install -e .
```

## Python API Usage

You can also use the BiasEngine directly from Python code:

```python
from mcp_bias_server.bias_engine import BiasEngine

# Create the engine
engine = BiasEngine(
    model_path="./bias-detector-output",
    base_model_name="t5-large",
    lazy_load=True
)

# Analyze a single text
result = engine.analyze("Your text here...")
print(f"Direction: {result.direction}")  # {'L': 0.25, 'C': 0.50, 'R': 0.25}
print(f"Degree: {result.degree}")        # {'L': 0.60, 'M': 0.30, 'H': 0.10}
print(f"Reason: {result.reason}")

# Batch analysis
results = engine.analyze_batch(["Text 1...", "Text 2..."])
```

See [`examples/example_python_usage.py`](examples/example_python_usage.py) for a complete example.

# Verify it works
python -c "from mcp_bias_server.bias_engine import BiasEngine; print('OK')"
```

### Step 3: Create PyPI Account & API Token

1. Create account at https://pypi.org/account/register/
2. Go to Account Settings → API tokens
3. Create new API token (scope: "Entire account" for first upload)
4. Save the token (starts with `pypi-`)

### Step 4: Configure Twine with API Token

```bash
# Install twine
pip install twine

# Create .pypirc with your token
cat > ~/.pypirc << 'EOF'
[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE

[testpypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR_TEST_API_TOKEN_HERE
EOF

# Secure the file
chmod 600 ~/.pypirc
```

### Step 5: Upload to TestPyPI (Recommended First)

```bash
# Upload to TestPyPI
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Test install from TestPyPI
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ bias-mcp-server
```

### Step 6: Upload to PyPI

```bash
# Upload to production PyPI
twine upload dist/*

# Users can now install with:
pip install bias-mcp-server
```

### Step 7: Tag Release in Git

```bash
git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0
```

### Alternative: GitHub Actions (Automated Publishing)

Create `.github/workflows/publish.yml`:

```yaml
name: Publish to PyPI

on:
  release:
    types: [published]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install build twine
      - name: Build
        run: python -m build
      - name: Publish to PyPI
        env:
          TWINE_USERNAME: __token__
          TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_API_TOKEN }}
        run: twine upload dist/*
```

Then add `PYPI_API_TOKEN` to GitHub repository secrets.

## Installation for Users

### Option 1: Install from PyPI

```bash
pip install bias-mcp-server
```

The trained LoRA adapter must be available. Users can:
- Copy from your repository: `t5/bias-detector-output/`
- Or train their own model

### 2. Configure MCP in VSCode

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/kilocode.kilo-code/settings/mcp_settings.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bias-analyzer": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "mcp_bias_server.server"],
      "env": {
        "BIAS_MODEL_PATH": "/path/to/bias-detector-output",
        "BIAS_BASE_MODEL": "t5-large",
        "BIAS_DEVICE": "auto"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Verify Installation

```bash
# Test the package
python3 -c "
from mcp_bias_server.bias_engine import BiasEngine
import os
os.environ['BIAS_MODEL_PATH'] = '/path/to/bias-detector-output'
engine = BiasEngine()
print('Model loaded successfully')
"
```

### Model Architecture

- **Base Model**: T5-large (770M parameters)
- **Fine-tuning**: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
- **Task**: Text-to-text generation for bias classification
- **Input**: News article text (max 512 tokens)
- **Output**: JSON with direction, degree, and reasoning

## Ollama Integration

For systems without the trained T5 model, you can use Ollama for inference:

```bash
# Install Ollama
brew install ollama  # macOS
ollama serve

# Pull a model
ollama pull llama3.2

# Run the demo
python demo_ollama_bias.py
```

See [`demo_ollama_bias.py`](demo_ollama_bias.py) for the complete implementation.

## Full Documentation

See [`DOCUMENTATION.md`](DOCUMENTATION.md) for:
- Complete API reference
- Docker deployment guide
- Troubleshooting guide
- All configuration options
- More examples

## Limitations

1. **Language**: Currently supports English text only
2. **Domain**: Trained primarily on news articles; may not perform well on other text types
3. **Context**: Limited to 512 tokens; longer texts are truncated
4. **Subjectivity**: Bias detection is inherently subjective and may not align with all perspectives
