+# Grafana Loki MCP - Architecture Patterns & Design Decisions
+
+## Core Architecture Pattern: Layered Service Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────┐
+│    MCP Tools Layer      │  ← @mcp.tool() decorators, FastMCP framework
+├─────────────────────────┤
+│   Business Logic Layer  │  ← GrafanaClient, time parsing, error handling
+├─────────────────────────┤
+│    HTTP Client Layer    │  ← requests library, connection management
+├─────────────────────────┤
+│      Grafana API        │  ← External Grafana/Loki services
+└─────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Key Design Patterns Identified
+
+### 1. Client-Server Abstraction Pattern
+- **GrafanaClient**: Encapsulates all Grafana API interactions
+- **Clean Interface**: Simple method signatures hiding HTTP complexity
+- **Error Translation**: HTTP errors → domain-specific exceptions
+
+### 2. Configuration Strategy Pattern
+- **Environment Variables**: Primary configuration source
+- **Command Line Args**: Override mechanism via argparse
+- **Sensible Defaults**: Fallback values for optional settings
+
+### 3. Time Format Adapter Pattern
+- **Multiple Input Formats**: Grafana relative, ISO8601, Unix timestamps
+- **Unified Output**: All formats → Unix nanoseconds for Loki
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Invalid formats → current time
+
+### 4. Lazy Initialization Pattern
+- **Datasource Discovery**: UID cached after first lookup
+- **Description Generation**: Dynamic tool descriptions on server start
+- **Client Creation**: Instantiated only when needed
+
+## SOLID Principles Adherence
+
+### Single Responsibility Principle ✅
+- **GrafanaClient**: Only Grafana API interactions
+- **parse_grafana_time()**: Only time format conversion
+- **MCP tools**: Each tool has single, focused purpose
+
+### Open/Closed Principle ✅
+- **Extensible**: New MCP tools easily added via decorators
+- **Configurable**: Behavior modification through environment variables
+- **Plugin-ready**: MCP framework supports additional capabilities
+
+### Liskov Substitution Principle ✅
+- **Interface Consistency**: All MCP tools follow same pattern
+- **Error Handling**: Consistent exception behavior across methods
+
+### Interface Segregation Principle ✅
+- **Focused Interfaces**: Each MCP tool exposes only necessary parameters
+- **Optional Parameters**: Non-required functionality clearly separated
+
+### Dependency Inversion Principle ✅
+- **Abstraction Layers**: Business logic depends on interfaces, not implementations
+- **HTTP Library**: Could swap requests for httpx without business logic changes
+
+## Error Handling Strategy
+
+### 3-Layer Error Handling
+1. **HTTP Layer**: requests.exceptions.RequestException
+2. **Translation Layer**: Convert to ValueError with context
+3. **MCP Layer**: Framework handles final error serialization
+
+### Error Context Preservation
+```python
+# Pattern: Enrich error messages with response details
+try:
+    error_json = e.response.json()
+    error_detail = f"{error_detail} - Details: {json.dumps(error_json)}"
+except Exception:
+    if e.response.text:
+        error_detail = f"{error_detail} - Response: {e.response.text}"
+```
+
+## Testing Architecture
+
+### Test Strategy: Comprehensive Mocking
+- **Session-scoped fixtures**: Prevent external API calls during tests
+- **Mock Grafana responses**: Controlled test environment
+- **Edge case coverage**: Invalid inputs, network failures, malformed responses
+
+### Test Organization
+- **Unit Tests**: Individual function behavior
+- **Integration Tests**: End-to-end MCP tool functionality
+- **Time Parsing Tests**: Comprehensive format validation
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+1. **Connection Reuse**: requests library handles connection pooling
+2. **Lazy Loading**: Datasource UID cached to avoid repeated lookups
+3. **Result Limiting**: Configurable log line limits prevent memory issues
+4. **String Truncation**: max_per_line parameter controls memory usage
+
+### Scalability Patterns
+- **Stateless Design**: No shared state between requests
+- **Resource Limits**: Built-in limits prevent resource exhaustion
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Fallback behaviors for edge cases
+
+## Future Architecture Considerations
+
+### Enhancement Opportunities
+1. **Caching Layer**: Redis/memory cache for datasource metadata
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Token bucket pattern for API calls
+3. **Observability**: Structured logging with correlation IDs
+4. **Connection Pooling**: Custom pool configuration for high throughput
+
+### Extensibility Points
+- **Additional MCP Tools**: New Loki/Grafana endpoints
+- **Format Support**: Additional time formats or output formats
+- **Authentication**: Support for other Grafana auth methods
+- **Multi-tenant**: Support for multiple Grafana instances
+
+## Code Quality Patterns
+
+### Type Safety Strategy
+- **Comprehensive Type Hints**: All functions properly annotated
+- **Generic Types**: Dict[str, Any] for JSON responses
+- **Optional Parameters**: Proper Optional[] usage
+- **Cast Operations**: Safe type assertions with cast()
+
+### Documentation Strategy
+- **Function Docstrings**: Args, returns, exceptions documented
+- **Inline Comments**: Minimal but strategic placement
+- **Example Usage**: examples/ directory with working code
+
+This architecture represents a well-designed, production-ready implementation following Python and software engineering best practices.
