## 🔧 Features

### Dynamic Tool Registration
Tools are automatically discovered and registered at runtime - no manual configuration needed!

### Multiple Transport Options
- **stdio**: For Claude Desktop integration
- **SSE (Server-Sent Events)**: For web-based access

### 120+ Available Tools
- 📁 **File System**: Read, write, and manage files
- 🕐 **Time Tools**: Timezone conversions and time operations
- 🌐 **Web Search**: Brave Search integration
- 🤖 **Browser Automation**: Playwright-based browser control
- 📊 **Data Analysis**: Yahoo Finance, FRED, World Bank data
- 📄 **Document Tools**: PDF, Excel, PowerPoint manipulation
- 🎯 **And many more!**

### Easy Configuration
Control everything through a simple `config.yaml` file:

```yaml
enabled_tools:
  filesystem: true
  time_tools: true
  brave_search: true
  # ... more tools

tool_config:
  filesystem:
    allowed_directories: ["~/Documents", "~/Downloads"]
  brave_search:
    max_results: 10
```

## 📋 Environment Setup

1. Copy `.env.template` to `.env`
2. Add your API keys:
   ```env
   BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY=your_key_here
   NEWS_API_KEY=your_key_here
   FRED_API_KEY=your_key_here
   # ... other keys
   ```

## 💾 Storage Setup

MCP Tool Kit uses a dedicated storage directory for file operations:

- **Windows**: `C:\Users\{Username}\mcp-tool-kit-storage`
- **Mac/Linux**: `~/mcp-tool-kit-storage`

### Automatic Setup
The storage directory is automatically created when you first run the Docker container. You can also manually set it up:

**Windows (PowerShell)**:
```powershell
.\scripts\setup-storage.ps1
```

**Mac/Linux**:
```bash
./scripts/setup-storage.sh
```

### Storage Structure
```
mcp-tool-kit-storage/
├── documents/     # For document files
├── downloads/     # For downloaded files
└── workspace/     # For temporary work files
```

All file operations through the filesystem tool will be restricted to this directory for security.

## 🔌 Connecting to Claude Desktop

1. Start the server in stdio mode using the launcher
2. Add to Claude Desktop configuration:
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "mcp-tool-kit": {
         "command": "docker",
         "args": ["exec", "-i", "mcp-server", "python", "mcp_server_v2.py"]
       }
     }
   }
   ```

## 🌐 Using SSE Mode

1. Start the server in SSE mode using the launcher
2. Access the server at `http://localhost:8080`
3. Use the SSE endpoints:
   - `/sse` - Server-Sent Events stream
   - `/messages` - Send messages to the server

## 🛠️ Creating Custom Tools

Tools now use a standardized base class system:

```python
from app.tools.base_tool import BaseTool

class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
    def get_name(self) -> str:
        return "My Custom Tool"
        
    def get_tools(self) -> Dict[str, Callable]:
        return {
            "my_function": self.my_function
        }
        
    async def my_function(self, param: str, ctx: Context = None) -> str:
        return f"Processed: {param}"
```
