## Prerequisites

- **Python 3.10 or higher**
- **Node.js 14.0 or higher** (for npx method)
- **UV** (for UV method - optional but recommended)
- Git (for installation from repository)

## Installation & Usage

### Method 1: Using npx (Node.js Package Manager)

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., `mcp.json`) in your **VS code or VS code insider**:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "git+https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git",
        "--project-dir=/path/to/your/project"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```
### Method 2: Install from PyPI 

```bash
# Install the package
pip3 install robotframework-mcp

# Run the MCP server
robotframework-mcp
```

**For MCP Clients (VS code or VS code inside, etc.):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "robotframework-mcp",
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

### Method 3: Using UV 

First install UV:
```bash
# Install UV (choose one method)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh  # Unix/macOS
# OR
pip install uv  # Any platform
# OR on Windows PowerShell (as Administrator)
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```

Then add to your MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "git+https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git",
        "python",
        "-c",
        "import mcp_server; mcp_server.main()"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

### Method 4: Clone Repository (Development/Local Setup)

For development or when you want to modify the source code:

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/sourcefuse/robotframework-MCP.git
cd robotframework-MCP

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the MCP server directly
python mcp_server.py
```

**For MCP Clients (VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.):**

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/cloned/robotframework-MCP/mcp_server.py"],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

Or using the Node.js wrapper from cloned repo:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "robotframework-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/cloned/robotframework-MCP/bin/robotframework-mcp.js",
        "--project-dir=/path/to/your/project"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}
```

## Available Tools

The MCP server provides the following comprehensive tools for Robot Framework test automation:

### 🔧 Core Test Generation
- **`create_login_test_case(url, username, password, template_type="appLocator")`** - Generate validated login test with configurable selectors
- **`create_page_object_login(template_type="appLocator")`** - Generate login page object model with validation
- **`create_data_driven_test(test_data_file="test_data.csv")`** - Generate data-driven test templates
- **`create_api_integration_test(base_url, endpoint, method="GET")`** - Generate API + UI integration tests

### ⚡ Advanced Keywords
- **`create_advanced_selenium_keywords()`** - Generate advanced SeleniumLibrary keywords (dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, alerts, etc.)
- **`create_extended_selenium_keywords()`** - Generate extended keywords with screenshots, performance monitoring, and window management

### 📊 Performance & Monitoring
- **`create_performance_monitoring_test()`** - Generate comprehensive performance testing with metrics collection

### 🔍 Validation & Syntax
