## š Project Structure
### Server Entry Point
- **`server.ts`** - Main MCP server with license validation, tool registration, transports (STDIO/HTTP/WS)
- **`package.json`** - Dependencies and npm scripts
- **`tsconfig.json`** - TypeScript configuration
### Configuration (`src/config/`)
- **`index.ts`** - Global config initialization, environment setup
- **`license.ts`** - HMAC-SHA256 license validation (Day-1 monetization)
### Core Modules (`src/core/`)
- **`fileSystem.ts`** - File operations: list, read, write, delete, move, create structures
- **`search.ts`** - File name search, content search with recursion limits
- **`commands.ts`** - Shell command execution with allow-list validation
- **`apps.ts`** - Application launching (macOS/Windows/Linux specific)
- **`clipboard.ts`** - Clipboard read/write (platform-aware)
- **`kv.ts`** - JSON-based local key-value store
### Tools Layer (`src/tools/`)
- **`index.ts`** - Master tool registration (all 15 tools)
- **`fileTools.ts`** - 5 file system tools (list_files, read_file, write_file, delete_file, move_file)
- **`searchTools.ts`** - 2 search tools (search_files, search_content)
- **`commandTools.ts`** - 2 command tools (run_command, list_allowed_commands)
- **`systemTools.ts`** - 3 system tools (launch_app, get_clipboard, set_clipboard)
- **`automationTools.ts`** - 3 automation tools (create_folder_structure, bulk_rename, cleanup_desktop)
- **`kvTools.ts`** - 5 KV store tools (kv_get, kv_set, kv_delete, kv_list, kv_clear)
### Utilities (`src/utils/`)
- **`platform.ts`** - Platform detection (macOS/Windows/Linux)
- **`paths.ts`** - Safe path handling with directory escape protection
- **`errors.ts`** - Error sanitization and structured response formatting
### Legacy
- **`src/tools.ts`** - Re-export wrapper for backward compatibility

## šÆ Development Workflow
### Adding a New Tool
1. Create core module: `src/core/myFeature.ts`
2. Export functions with proper types
3. Create tool wrapper: `src/tools/myTools.ts`
- Define Zod input schema
- Create tool function
4. Register in `src/tools/index.ts`
5. Build: `npm run build`
6. Test: Use EXAMPLES.md as reference
### Example Structure
```typescript
// src/core/myFeature.ts
export async function myOperation(input: string): Promise<Result> {
// Implementation
}
// src/tools/myTools.ts
export const MyToolInputSchema = z.object({
param: z.string()
});
export async function myTool(input: z.infer<typeof MyToolInputSchema>) {
const result = await myOperation(input.param);
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }] };
}
// src/tools/index.ts
(server as any).tool('my_tool', 'Description', MyToolInputSchema, myTool);
```
