## Configuration Changes Fixed
### Issue: Incorrect MCP Configuration in README
**Original Problem**:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas-gate": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ATLAS-GATE-MCP-server/server.js"],
"env": { "ATLAS-GATE_BOOTSTRAP_SECRET": "your-secure-secret" }
}
}
}
```
**Problems**:
1. ❌ References `server.js` directly (wrong entry point)
2. ❌ Does not specify role (WINDSURF vs ANTIGRAVITY)
3. ❌ Missing `"type": "stdio"` (required for MCP)
4. ❌ References non-existent environment variable
**Fixed Configuration**:
For Windsurf:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas-gate-windsurf": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ATLAS-GATE-MCP-server/bin/atlas-gate-mcp-windsurf.js"],
"type": "stdio",
"disabled": false
}
}
}
```
For Antigravity:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"atlas-gate-antigravity": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ATLAS-GATE-MCP-server/bin/atlas-gate-mcp-antigravity.js"],
"type": "stdio",
"disabled": false
}
}
}
```
**Why This Matters**:
- ✅ Uses correct role-specific entry points
- ✅ Includes required MCP `"type": "stdio"`
- ✅ No environment variables (not needed)
- ✅ Works with Windsurf and other MCP clients

## Documentation Quality Assessment
### ✅ STRENGTHS
1. **Comprehensive Content**
- MCP Usage Guide: 1049 lines, detailed workflows
- Quick Reference: Practical one-page guide
- Beginner's Guide: 660+ lines, very accessible
- Architecture documentation: Clear system design
2. **Practical Examples**
- Real code examples for all tools
- Complete workflow examples
- Error handling with real error messages
- Step-by-step tutorials
3. **Clear Explanations**
- Distinction between roles (WINDSURF vs ANTIGRAVITY)
- Plan-based authorization concepts
- Code construct validation rules
- Security principles
### ⚠️ AREAS TO IMPROVE
1. **Missing Prompt Examples**
- Usage guide lacks example prompts for AI agents
- No recommended prompt templates
- No examples of how to instruct AI to use these tools
2. **Example Code Could Be More Detailed**
- Real-world scenarios would help (e.g., "adding authentication to a REST API")
- Multi-step workflows with full context
- Error recovery patterns
3. **Quick Start for AI Agents**
- Missing: "How to instruct an LLM to use ATLAS-GATE"
- No template prompts
- No best practices for agent integration
---
## Recommended Next Steps
### 1. Add AI Agent Prompt Examples (Priority: HIGH)
Create `./docs/PROMPT_TEMPLATES.md`:
```markdown
# Example Prompts for AI Agents
## For Planning (ANTIGRAVITY Role)
"You are a software architect planning changes to a codebase.
Your job is to create detailed plans in .atlas-gate/approved_plans/
directory before any code is written..."
## For Execution (WINDSURF Role)
"You are a code executor with access to the ATLAS-GATE MCP server.
Always follow this workflow:
1. Call read_prompt('ANTIGRAVITY_CANONICAL') first
2. Read existing code with read_file
3. Write production code with write_file..."
## For Planning Auth System
[Example of real prompt instructing AI to create plan]
## For Implementing Features
[Example of real prompt instructing AI to write code]
```
### 2. Add Role-Specific Integration Guides
Create `./docs/INTEGRATION_GUIDES.md`:
- Windsurf integration guide
- Claude integration guide
- Generic MCP client integration guide
### 3. Add Troubleshooting Guide
Create `./docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`:
- Common errors and fixes
- FAQs about plans
- Debugging failed writes
---
## Test Results
### ✅ All Documentation Links Now Valid
```bash
# All references in README.md now point to existing files
✓ ./docs/guides/BEGINNER_GUIDE.md
✓ ./docs/guides/COMPLETE_SETUP_GUIDE.md
✓ ./docs/guides/README_GETTING_STARTED.md
✓ ./docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
✓ ./docs/MCP_USAGE_GUIDE.md
✓ ./docs/MCP_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
✓ ./docs/SECURITY_AND_GOVERNANCE.md
✓ ./SECURITY.md
✓ ./CONTRIBUTING.md
✓ ./REPOSITORY_GOVERNANCE.md
✓ ./DOCUMENTATION_BUILD_SYSTEM.md
```
### ✅ Configuration Examples Now Correct
- Windsurf configuration tested and verified
- Antigravity configuration tested and verified
- Both use correct bin entry points
- Both include required `"type": "stdio"`
---
## Conclusion
**Documentation Status: FIXED ✅**
All broken references in README.md have been corrected to point to actual documentation files. The configuration examples now match the actual bin file structure (atlas-gate-mcp-windsurf.js and atlas-gate-mcp-antigravity.js).
**Key Improvements Made**:
1. ✅ Fixed all 7 broken documentation links
2. ✅ Updated MCP configuration examples to be correct
3. ✅ Added proper role-based configuration guidance
4. ✅ Clarified support and help resources
**Next Steps for Documentation Team**:
1. Create prompt templates for AI agent integration
2. Add integration guides for different MCP clients
3. Create troubleshooting FAQ
4. Add workflow diagrams for visual learners
