# MCP Server Fix - Complete ✅
## Issue Fixed
The devpipe MCP server was unable to find `config.toml` files when accessed via resources (e.g., `@devpipe`), resulting in:
```
Failure reading resource mcp://devpipe with error
failed to read resource mcp://devpipe for server devpipe:
Failed to read resource: No config.toml file found
```
## Solution Implemented
Added support for `DEVPIPE_CWD` environment variable that tells the MCP server where to look for your project's config files.
## What Changed
### Code Changes
1. **`src/utils.ts`**
- Modified `findConfigFile()` to check `DEVPIPE_CWD` environment variable
- Priority: explicit path → DEVPIPE_CWD → process.cwd()
2. **`src/index.ts`**
- Improved error messages to show search directory
- Added actionable guidance when config not found
### Documentation Updates
1. **`README.md`** - Added DEVPIPE_CWD to all config examples
2. **`SETUP.md`** - Added setup instructions and troubleshooting
3. **`docs/DEVPIPE_CWD.md`** - New comprehensive guide
4. **`docs/FIX_SUMMARY.md`** - Technical implementation details
5. **`CHANGELOG.md`** - Documented the fix
### New Files
- `docs/DEVPIPE_CWD.md` - User guide for the environment variable
- `docs/FIX_SUMMARY.md` - Technical summary of the fix
- `scripts/verify-fix.sh` - Verification script
- `MCP_FIX_COMPLETE.md` - This file
## How to Use
### 1. Rebuild (Already Done ✅)
```bash
npm run build
```
### 2. Update Your MCP Configuration
**For Windsurf/Cascade** (`~/.windsurf/mcp.json` or similar):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devpipe": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/drew/repos/devpipe-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"DEVPIPE_CWD": "/path/to/your/project"
}
}
}
}
```
**For Claude Desktop** (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devpipe": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/drew/repos/devpipe-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"DEVPIPE_CWD": "/path/to/your/project"
}
}
}
}
```
### 3. Restart Your AI Assistant
Close and reopen Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or your AI assistant.
### 4. Test It
Try these commands:
```
@devpipe tell me about the config
```
```
@devpipe list all tasks
```
```
@devpipe show me the devpipe config schema
```
## Verification
Run the verification script to confirm the fix is properly built:
```bash
./scripts/verify-fix.sh
```
Expected output: ✅ All verification checks passed!
## Examples
### Single Project Setup
```json
{
"env": {
"DEVPIPE_CWD": "/Users/drew/projects/my-go-app"
}
}
```
### Multiple Projects
Set to parent directory:
```json
{
"env": {
"DEVPIPE_CWD": "/Users/drew/projects"
}
}
```
Then navigate to specific projects before using devpipe commands.
### Monorepo
```json
{
"env": {
"DEVPIPE_CWD": "/Users/drew/monorepo"
}
}
```
Then specify config paths explicitly:
```
"Run pipeline with config /Users/drew/monorepo/services/api/config.toml"
```
## Troubleshooting
### Still Getting "Config Not Found"?
1. **Check DEVPIPE_CWD is set correctly**
- Use absolute paths (not `~` or relative paths)
- Point to directory containing config.toml, not the file itself
2. **Verify config.toml exists**
```bash
ls -la /path/to/your/project/config.toml
```
3. **Restart your AI assistant**
- MCP configuration changes require a restart
4. **Check the error message**
- It now shows where it's searching
- Verify that path is correct
