🔧 Development

Testing Individual Servers

# Test filesystem server
node server.js

# Test database server
node database-server.js

# Test git server
node git-server.js

# Test API testing server
node api-testing-server.js

# Test devtools server
node devtools-server.js

Adding Custom Tools

Each server follows the same pattern:

// Add to ListToolsRequestSchema
{
  name: "your_tool_name",
  description: "Tool description",
  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      // your parameters
    },
    required: ["param1"]
  }
}

// Add to CallToolRequestSchema
case "your_tool_name": {
  // your implementation
  return {
    content: [{
      type: "text",
      text: "result"
    }]
  };
}

🐛 Troubleshooting

Server Not Connecting

1. Check Node Version

   node --version  # Should be v18 or higher
   

2. Verify Server Manually

   node server.js  # Should output: "Server running on stdio"
   

3. Check Claude Desktop Config

   • Ensure paths are absolute
   • Verify Node.js path is correct
   • Check for JSON syntax errors

4. View Logs

   • Open Claude Desktop Developer settings
   • Click "Open Logs Folder"
   • Check server-specific log files

Common Errors

"SyntaxError: Unexpected token"

• Update Node.js to v18 or higher
• Ensure "type": "module" in package.json

"Cannot find module"

• Run npm install in the project directory
• Check that all dependencies are installed

"Permission denied"

• Ensure execute permissions: chmod +x setup.sh
• Check file system permissions for log files

Database Connection Failed

• Verify database credentials in config
• Ensure database server is running
• Check network connectivity
