### memory

If there is no mount on root("/"), a memory driver will be mounted automatically on "/" (same behaviour of unstorage).

## extend guide

1. clone this repo
2. copy src/storage/redis.ts to a new file and modify it to your desired driver(`unjs/unstorage` is super easy to learn)
3. test and verify that it is effective
4. (optional) pull a merge request

If you are not a typescript developer, please submit a issue to ask for other drivers support.

### prompts for cursor/cline assisted programming

```text
@/src/storage/mongodb.ts , please implement this file:
1. you need to fetch information using the storage type's corresponding Doc URL (https://unstorage.unjs.io/drivers/<storage type>).
2. you can refer to examples in @/src/adapter/redis.ts and @/src/storage/http.ts.
3. You are only responsible for generating the code and do not need to perform testing.
```

> If you have not installed fetch MCP server, delete the first sentence

## debug approaches

### mcp-inspector

```sh
 mcp-inspector -e HTTP_BASE=http://localhost:3001 -e HTTP_MOUNT_POINT=http_storage -e FS_BASE=D:/temp -e FS_MOUNT_POINT=fs_storage -e HTTP_HEADERS="Authorization=Bear 123;" tsx ./src/index.ts
```

### tsx mcpServer Config for local dev

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "command": "cmd",
    "env": {
      "REDIS_URL": "redis://default:123456@localhost:6379",
      "REDIS_BASE": "my:mcp:values:",
      "REDIS_MOUNT_POINT": "redis_storage"
    },
    "args": ["/c", "tsx", "D:/xxx/projects/unstorage-mcp/src/index.ts"]
  }
}
```

restarting server is needed to make changes take effect
