# Package Installation & Testing Results
## Package Information
- **Name**: `@canveletedotcom/mcp-server`
- **Latest Version**: 1.0.4
- **npm URL**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@canveletedotcom/mcp-server
## Issues Found & Fixed
### Issue #1: CLI Help Not Working
**Problem**: Running `npx @canveletedotcom/mcp-server --help` would start the server instead of showing help.
**Root Cause**: Commander.js was not configured to show help when no command was provided. The program would default to running without showing usage information.
**Fix Applied**: Added logic to display help when no arguments are provided:
```typescript
// If no command provided, show help
if (!process.argv.slice(2).length) {
program.outputHelp();
}
```
**Status**: ✅ Fixed in v1.0.3
### Issue #2: Version Mismatch
**Problem**: The CLI was showing version 1.0.0 even though package.json had a higher version.
**Root Cause**: Hardcoded version strings in the source code weren't being updated.
**Fix Applied**: Updated version strings in:
- CLI program definition
- MCP Server initialization
**Status**: ✅ Fixed in v1.0.4
