## Next Steps
### 1. Configure Claude Desktop (5 minutes)
**Edit config file:**
```bash
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```
**Add this configuration:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"personal-productivity": {
"command": "ssh",
"args": [
"benro@100.72.67.122",
"docker",
"exec",
"-i",
"mcp-server",
"python",
"-m",
"mcp_server.server"
]
}
}
}
```
**Restart Claude Desktop:**
1. Completely quit Claude Desktop
2. Restart the app
3. Look for MCP tools (hammer icon)
### 2. Test the Connection
**Test SSH connection manually:**
```bash
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "docker exec -i mcp-server python -m mcp_server.server"
```
Press Ctrl+C to exit. If this works, Claude Desktop will work too.
**Test in Claude Desktop:**
```
Search for software engineering jobs at Anthropic
```
If successful, you'll see job listings from Anthropic's Greenhouse board!
### 3. Try More Features
```
Track a new application:
- Company: Anthropic
- Title: Research Engineer
- URL: https://jobs.lever.co/anthropic/example
- Status: interested
```
```
Show me my application pipeline statistics
```

## Management Commands
### On Anvil (SSH)
```bash
# SSH to anvil
ssh benro@100.72.67.122
# Navigate to project
cd ~/projects/mcp-project
# View logs
docker compose logs -f
# Restart server
docker compose restart
# Stop server
docker compose down
# Rebuild after code changes
docker compose up -d --build
```
### From Your Mac
```bash
# View logs remotely
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "cd ~/projects/mcp-project && docker compose logs -f"
# Restart remotely
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "cd ~/projects/mcp-project && docker compose restart"
# Deploy updates
./scripts/deploy-to-anvil.sh
```
### Using Makefile (on anvil)
```bash
ssh benro@100.72.67.122
cd ~/projects/mcp-project
make logs # Tail logs
make restart # Restart service
make backup # Backup database
make shell # Interactive shell in container
```

## Troubleshooting
### Container not running?
```bash
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "docker ps | grep mcp-server"
```
### Check logs for errors:
```bash
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "cd ~/projects/mcp-project && docker compose logs"
```
### Can't connect from Claude Desktop?
1. Test SSH manually: `ssh benro@100.72.67.122`
2. Test MCP command: `ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "docker exec -i mcp-server python -m mcp_server.server"`
3. Check Tailscale: `tailscale status | grep anvil`
4. Verify container: `ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "docker ps"`
### Database issues?
```bash
# Reset database (will lose data!)
ssh benro@100.72.67.122 "cd ~/projects/mcp-project && docker compose down -v && docker compose up -d"
```
### Need to update code?
```bash
# From your Mac
./scripts/deploy-to-anvil.sh
```
---
## Performance Notes
**Tested Latency:**
- SSH connection: ~10-50ms (via Tailscale)
- Database queries: <100ms
- Job scraping: 500-2000ms (mostly external API time)
**Resource Usage:**
- Memory: ~200MB (Python + Playwright)
- CPU: <5% idle, 10-20% during scraping
- Storage: ~500MB (container) + growing database
---
## Security Notes
✅ **Secure by default:**
- No public internet exposure (Tailscale only)
- SSH over encrypted Tailscale mesh
- No authentication on MCP (single-user, SSH provides auth)
- Environment variables in .env (not committed to git)
- Docker containers run as non-root
🔒 **Best practices:**
- Database backups recommended
- Keep Tailscale updated
- Review logs periodically for anomalies
---
## What's Next?
