## 📁 Integration Resources Created
### Configuration Examples
```
examples/integrations/
├── claude-desktop.json # Claude Desktop setup
├── cline-vscode.json # Cline (VSCode) config
├── continue-dev.json # Continue.dev config
├── cursor-ide.json # Cursor IDE setup
├── custom-client.ts # Custom client example
└── README.md # Integration guide
```
### Universal Setup Files
- **`UNIVERSAL_SETUP.md`** - Quick start for any platform
- **`PLATFORM_COMPATIBILITY.md`** - Detailed compatibility matrix
- **Updated README.md** - Platform-agnostic documentation
## 🎯 Core Value Proposition
### For Any Platform
```
Input: "/th How can AI help solve climate change?"
Universal Output: "Think harder about this problem. Analyze it step by step with deep reasoning and consider multiple perspectives. How can AI help solve climate change?"
```
Works identically across:
- Claude Desktop conversations
- VSCode Cline chat
- Continue.dev interface
- Cursor IDE interactions
- Custom applications
- Terminal clients
## 🔧 Technical Implementation
### MCP Protocol Compliance
- **Standard JSON-RPC**: Works with any MCP client
- **Tool Definition**: Consistent across all platforms
- **Transport Agnostic**: Supports stdio, HTTP, WebSocket
- **SDK Compatible**: Works with official MCP SDKs
### Universal Configuration Pattern
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"prompt-shortcuts": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/shortcut-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
This pattern works across all MCP platforms.
## 🚀 Ready for Immediate Use
