## Upgrade Guide
### From 1.x to 2.x
Version 2.0.0 is **fully backward compatible** with 1.x. All legacy tools continue to work.
#### Installation
```bash
# Uninstall old version (if applicable)
npm uninstall ecl-mcp-server
# Install new version from GitHub
npm install -g git+https://github.com/brownrl/eco_mcp.git
```
#### Configuration Changes
**Old configuration** (still works):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ecl": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
**New configuration** (recommended):
```json
**MCP client configuration**:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ecl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["ecl-mcp"],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
#### Database Migration
No migration needed. The 2.x database is backward compatible and adds new tables without affecting existing data.
To populate new tables with structured data:
```bash
cd /path/to/eco_mcp
npm run extract
```
#### New Features
- 33 new specialized tools (40 total)
- Enhanced search with filters and metadata
- Code validation and accessibility checking
- Code generation with customization
- Design token system
- Performance optimizations (50% faster)
