Security Best Practices

  1. Environment Variables:

    # Use .env file (never commit to Git) cp env.example .env # Edit .env with your actual API key

  2. Container Security:

    # Run with resource limits docker run -d \ --name mcp-tailwind-server \ --env-file .env \ --memory=512m \ --cpus=1.0 \ --restart unless-stopped \ mcp-tailwind-runtime:latest

  3. Network Isolation:

    # Create isolated network docker network create mcp-network # Run with custom network docker run -d \ --name mcp-tailwind-server \ --network mcp-network \ --env-file .env \ --restart unless-stopped \ mcp-tailwind-runtime:latest

šŸ”§ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. MCP Server not starting:

    • Ensure you've run npm run build first

    • Check that dist/index.js exists

    • Verify Node.js version is 18+

  2. Gemini API errors:

    • Set your GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable

    • Verify the API key is valid and has proper permissions

    • Check your internet connection

  3. Docker container issues:

    # Check container logs docker logs mcp-tailwind-server # Verify environment docker exec mcp-tailwind-server env | grep GEMINI # Restart container docker restart mcp-tailwind-server

  4. Claude Desktop not connecting:

    • Restart Claude Desktop after updating config

    • Check the config file path is correct

    • Verify JSON syntax is valid

  5. Build errors:

    # Clean and rebuild rm -rf dist/ node_modules/ npm install npm run build

Debug Mode

# Run with debug logging DEBUG=mcp:* node dist/index.js # Docker debug docker run -it --rm \ --env-file .env \ mcp-tailwind-runtime:latest npm run dev
