## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">⚡ Quick Start</span>

### <span style="color: #10b981">Prerequisites</span>

```bash path=null start=null
node >= 18.0.0
npm >= 9.0.0
GLM-4.6 API Key from https://open.bigmodel.cn
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">Installation</span>

```bash path=null start=null
cd glm-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">Environment Configuration</span>

Create `.env` file in project root:

```bash path=null start=null
GLM_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

**Security Notice**: Never commit `.env` to version control. Use secure secret management in production environments.

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">🔧 Warp Terminal Integration</span>

### <span style="color: #10b981">MCP Server Configuration</span>

Add the following configuration to your Warp MCP servers configuration file:

**Location**: `~/.config/warp-terminal/mcp_servers.json` or Warp Settings → MCP Servers

```json path=null start=null
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "glm-architecture": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/glm-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GLM_API_KEY": "your_glm_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**⚠️ Configuration Notes**:
- Replace `/absolute/path/to/glm-mcp-server` with your actual installation path
- Replace `your_glm_api_key_here` with your actual GLM API key
- Restart Warp Terminal after configuration changes

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">🔬 Usage Examples</span>

### <span style="color: #10b981">Example 1: Architectural Consultation</span>

Within Warp Terminal, Claude can invoke:

```typescript path=null start=null
// Claude automatically calls via MCP
consult_architecture({
  query: "What's the optimal caching strategy for a high-traffic API with 10k req/s?",
  context: "Node.js microservices, PostgreSQL database, AWS infrastructure"
})
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">Example 2: Code Architecture Analysis</span>

```typescript path=null start=null
analyze_code_architecture({
  code: `class UserService { ... }`,
  language: "typescript",
  question: "Does this service follow clean architecture principles?"
})
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">Example 3: System Design</span>

```typescript path=null start=null
design_system_architecture({
  requirements: `
    - Real-time messaging platform
    - 1M concurrent users

    - 99.99% uptime SLA
    - Global distribution
  `
})
```

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">🛠️ Development</span>

### <span style="color: #10b981">Build</span>

```bash path=null start=null
npm run build      # Compile TypeScript to JavaScript
npm run watch      # Development mode with auto-rebuild
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">Project Structure</span>

```
glm-mcp-server/
├── src/
│   ├── index.ts           # MCP server entry point
│   └── glm-client.ts      # GLM-4.6 API client
├── build/                 # Compiled JavaScript output

```

---

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">🔐 Security Considerations</span>

- **API Key Management**: Store GLM_API_KEY in environment variables, never in code
- **Transport Security**: All API communications use HTTPS/TLS
- **Input Validation**: All tool inputs are validated before processing
- **Error Handling**: Sensitive information is sanitized from error messages
- **Rate Limiting**: Implement client-side rate limiting for production deployments

---

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">📊 Performance Characteristics</span>

| Metric | Specification |
|--------|--------------|
| **Latency** | 2-8s (model inference dependent) |
| **Throughput** | API key tier dependent |
| **Timeout** | 60s default (configurable) |
| **Max Token Output** | 4096 tokens |
| **Concurrent Requests** | Single instance: 1 (sequential processing) |

---

## <span style="color: #1e3a8a">🐛 Troubleshooting</span>

### <span style="color: #10b981">Server Not Starting</span>

```bash path=null start=null
# Verify Node.js version
node --version  # Must be >= 18.0.0

# Check build output
npm run build

# Verify GLM_API_KEY is set
echo $GLM_API_KEY
```

### <span style="color: #10b981">API Authentication Errors</span>

- Verify API key validity at https://open.bigmodel.cn
- Check API key has sufficient quota
- Ensure no whitespace in `.env` file

### <span style="color: #10b981">Warp Terminal Integration Issues</span>

- Restart Warp Terminal after configuration changes
- Verify absolute path in MCP configuration
- Check Warp logs: Warp → Settings → Advanced → View Logs
