# VERIFICATION COMMAND (proves everything works):
./claude-mcp-setup start
# Expected output: "All 10 servers ready, 0 failed"
✅ Optimization server integrated (was being skipped)
✅ claude-mcp-wrapper.sh fixed with correct ID variables
✅ All 10 servers verified working: 10 ready, 0 failed
✅ Simple setup command: ./claude-mcp-setup start
```

## 🚀 IMMEDIATE VALIDATION (2 MINUTES)
### **Step 1: Verify Infrastructure (30 seconds)**:
```bash
cd /Users/robertlee/GitHubProjects/Claude_MCPServer
# Check Docker containers:
docker ps | grep claude-mcp
# Expected: 3 containers running (postgres, redis, qdrant)
# Quick ecosystem test:
bash scripts/start-mcp-ecosystem.sh | tail -10
# Expected: Multiple "✅" success indicators
```
### **Step 2: Test MCP Server (30 seconds)**:
```bash
# Test individual server works:
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}' | npx tsx servers/data-analytics/src/data-governance.ts | head -5
# Expected: JSON response starting with {"result":{"tools":[
```
### **Step 3: Claude Integration (1 minute)**:
```bash
# Exit Claude Code session completely and restart
# Then run: /mcp
# Expected: All 8+ servers show "connected" status (not "failed")
```

## 🛠️ COMMON SCENARIOS
### **Scenario: "Is this system working?"**
```bash
# Quick health check:
bash scripts/start-mcp-ecosystem.sh && echo "✅ System operational"
```
### **Scenario: "How do I use the MCP tools?"**
```bash
# Restart Claude Code session, then ask Claude:
"What MCP tools do you have available?"
"Store this memory: I prefer React for frontend projects"
"Scan this codebase for security vulnerabilities"
```
### **Scenario: "I want to develop new servers"**
```bash
# Follow this pattern (see standard-mcp-server.ts):
export class MyServer extends StandardMCPServer {
constructor() {
super('server-name', 'Description');
}
async handleToolCall(name: string, args: any): Promise<CallToolResult> {
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }] };
}
}
```
### **Scenario: "Something isn't working"**
```bash
# Check troubleshooting guide:
cat TROUBLESHOOTING_GUIDE_2025-05-24.md | grep -A 10 "your specific issue"
```
