🚀 Quick Start

# Install
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Run (stdio — for Claude Desktop)
npm start

# Run (HTTP — for remote/multi-client access)
TRANSPORT=http npm start

# Dev mode
npm run dev

🖥️ Claude Desktop Setup

1. Build the server:

   npm run build
   

2. Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "toad-mcp-server": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["dist/index.js"],
         "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/toad-mcp-server",
         "env": {
           "SEMANTIC_SEARCH_URL": "http://localhost:3001",
           "EVAL_FRAMEWORK_URL": "http://localhost:3002"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop — tools appear automatically.

🧱 Tech Stack

• TypeScript (NodeNext, strict)
• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk — MCP server SDK
• Zod v4 — input validation
• ESLint + Prettier + Husky — code quality
• GitHub Actions — CI (lint → format → build)
