**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`  
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@jinjos/vibe-mcp"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/project"
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor/VS Code with MCP

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe": {
      "command": "npx", 
      "args": ["-y", "@jinjos/vibe-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Available Tools

### `repo_analysis`
Performs deep analysis of project tech stack, AI configurations, and rule coverage.

```json
{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "options": {
    "verbose": true
  }
}
```

Returns AI-optimized JSON with:
- Project metadata and tech stack breakdown
- AI platform configuration status  
- Coverage score with detailed analysis
- Gap analysis with actionable recommendations
- MCP server recommendations based on actual tech stack

### `init_rules`
Sets up unified AI rules system with platform configurations.

```json
{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "options": {
    "platforms": "cursor,claude,copilot,gemini",
    "full": false
  }
}
```

### `sync_rules`
Syncs rules from platform directories to unified vibe/ system.

```json
{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "options": {
    "platforms": "auto",
    "full": false,
    "dryRun": true
  }
}
```

### `vibe_status`
Comprehensive status of vibe system including performance metrics.

```json
{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "options": {
    "verbose": true
  }
}
```

## Requirements

- Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, etc.)

## Architecture

```
AI Agent ↔ MCP Protocol ↔ Vibe MCP Server ↔ vibe-cli
```

The MCP server provides:
- Clean JSON output without emojis or formatting
- Structured data optimized for AI consumption  
- Direct integration with vibe-cli functionality
- Performance metrics and health monitoring

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

- `VIBE_LOG_LEVEL`: Logging level (0=ERROR, 1=WARN, 2=INFO, 3=DEBUG)

### Debugging

Enable debug logging:
```bash
VIBE_LOG_LEVEL=3 npx -y @jinjos/vibe-mcp
```

## Troubleshooting

### Tool not found errors
```bash
npm run build  # Ensure server is built
```

### MCP connection issues
```bash
# Enable debug logging
VIBE_LOG_LEVEL=3 node dist/index.js
```

### Performance monitoring
The server maintains:
- Memory usage <100MB baseline
- Response time <2 seconds for most operations
- No background processes
