# Approach A Live Test - Quick Summary
## Status: ✅ SUCCESSFUL (with modifications needed)
### What We Validated
- ✅ MCP server is healthy and accessible
- ✅ Successfully fetched 500 TikTok video records
- ✅ All expected data fields are present and valid
- ✅ TypeScript compilation works (1 bug fixed)
- ✅ Data quality is excellent (complete metrics)
### What We Discovered
- ❌ The "MCP proxy" is NOT a REST API proxy
- ❌ No `/api/bitable/records` endpoint exists
- ✅ Must use Claude Code's `mcp__lark-bitable__*` tools instead
### Architecture Change Required
**Old Approach (doesn't work):**
```typescript
const response = await axios.get(`${MCP_URL}/api/bitable/records`);
```
**New Approach (works):**
```typescript
// Use within Claude Code conversation
const result = await mcp__lark_bitable__lark_get_table_records({
app_token: 'C8kmbTsqoa6rBesTKRpl8nV8gHd',
table_id: 'tblG4uuUvbwfvI9Z'
});
```
### Live Data Snapshot
- **Records Found:** ~500 videos
- **Account:** @laurainspired (Thai spiritual content)
- **View Range:** 347 - 48,328 per video
- **Top Video:** 48K views, 6K likes, 12.4% engagement
- **Data Period:** July 2024 - November 2024
### Bugs Fixed
1. `scripts/analyze-tiktok-data.ts:293` - Type assertion issue
### Next Steps
1. Rewrite data fetching to use MCP tools
2. Update documentation
3. Test export workflow within Claude Code
