## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Install
```bash
# Easy install (no Python needed)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Or with Python: uv tool install freshrelease-mcp
```

### 2. Get Credentials
- **API Key**: Freshrelease → Profile → API Key
- **Domain**: `company.freshrelease.com` (your domain)
- **Project Key**: e.g., `"FS"`, `"PROJ"` (optional)

### 3. Configure Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freshrelease-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["freshrelease-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FRESHRELEASE_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
        "FRESHRELEASE_DOMAIN": "company.freshrelease.com",
        "FRESHRELEASE_PROJECT_KEY": "FS"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 4. Restart Cursor
✅ You'll see Freshrelease tools available!

## 💡 Usage Examples

### 🎯 Task Management
**Get project overview:**
> "Show me all tasks in the FS project"

**Get specific task details:**
> "Get details for task FS-123"

**Get comprehensive epic insights with AI analysis:**
> "Show me detailed insights for epic FS-223786 including git status and risk assessment"

The AI will automatically:
- Fetch the epic details and all child tasks with full information
- Analyze git/PR development status from task descriptions
- Provide AI-powered insights on completion rates, team distribution, and timeline risks
- Provide status breakdown and progress summary
- Show assignee distribution and priority breakdown

### 📋 Advanced Task Filtering  
**Use natural language filtering:**
> "Find all high priority tasks owned by John Doe that are currently in progress"

The AI understands both:
- **Friendly labels**: "Owner", "Status", "Priority" 
- **Technical names**: "owner_id", "status_id", "priority_id"

**Native Freshrelease filtering with existing filters:**
> "Filter tasks using saved filter ID 102776 with custom fields and date ranges"

**Sprint and date-based filtering:**
> "Show me all bugs in Sprint 1 created between Dec 2024 and Aug 2025"

### 🧪 Test Case Management
**Filter test cases naturally:**
> "Find all high and medium severity functional tests in the Authentication section"

**Navigate hierarchical sections:**
> "Get all test cases from Authentication > Login Tests > Positive Cases section"

The AI can navigate up to 7 levels deep in section hierarchies automatically.

**Get concise test run summary with AI insights:**
> "How is test run 150183 performing?"

**Response example:**
*"23/25 tests executed (92% complete). 21 passed, 2 failed. Quality score: Good. Fix 2 failing test cases."*
