⚙️ Configuration

📁 Configuration Files

The server uses three types of configuration files:

error-debugging-config.json - Main server configuration (project root)
.error-debugging.json - Workspace-specific settings (workspace root)
.error-debugging-preferences.json - User preferences (home directory)

Note: If no configuration file exists, the server automatically creates error-debugging-config.json with default settings when first started.

🔧 Main Configuration

Create error-debugging-config.json in your project root:

{ "server": { "name": "error-debugging-mcp-server", "version": "1.0.0", "logLevel": "info", "maxConnections": 10, "timeout": 30000 }, "detection": { "enabled": true, "realTime": true, "sources": { "console": true, "runtime": true, "build": true, "test": true, "linter": true, "staticAnalysis": true, "ide": true }, "filters": { "excludeFiles": ["node_modules/**", "dist/**", "build/**"], "excludePatterns": ["*.min.js", "*.map"] }, "polling": { "interval": 1000, "maxRetries": 3 } }, "analysis": { "enabled": true, "aiEnhanced": true, "confidenceThreshold": 0.7, "enablePatternMatching": true, "enableSimilaritySearch": true }, "debugging": { "enabled": true, "maxConcurrentSessions": 5, "enableHotReload": true, "breakpoints": { "maxPerSession": 50, "enableConditional": true } }, "performance": { "enabled": true, "monitoring": { "enabled": true, "interval": 5000 } } }

Note: If no configuration file exists, the server will automatically create error-debugging-config.json with default settings when first started.

Workspace Configuration

For project-specific settings, create .error-debugging.json in your workspace root:

{ "projectName": "my-project", "rootPath": "/path/to/project", "excludePatterns": ["node_modules/**", "dist/**", "*.min.js"], "includePatterns": ["src/**", "lib/**"], "languageSettings": { "typescript": { "strictMode": true, "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2020" } }, "javascript": { "eslintConfig": ".eslintrc.js" } } }

User Preferences

For personal settings, create .error-debugging-preferences.json in your home directory:

{ "theme": "dark", "notifications": { "enabled": true, "sound": false, "desktop": true }, "editor": { "fontSize": 14, "fontFamily": "Monaco", "tabSize": 2 }, "debugging": { "autoBreakOnError": true, "showStackTrace": true, "verboseLogging": false } }

🔗 IDE Integration

🎯 Tested & Working Configuration

Use this production-tested configuration for seamless integration:

{ "servers": { "error-debugging": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" } } } }

🖥️ IDE-Specific Setup

🔵 VS Code

Add to your settings.json:

{ "mcp.servers": { "error-debugging": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" } } }, "mcp.enableLogging": true, "mcp.logLevel": "debug" }

🟡 Cursor IDE

Create ~/.cursor/mcp-settings.json:

{ "servers": { "error-debugging": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "description": "Advanced error detection and debugging" } } }

🟢 Windsurf IDE

Add to Windsurf's MCP configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "error-debugging": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "env": { "DEBUG": "mcp:*" } } } }

🔴 Augment Code

Add to your Augment workspace configuration:

{ "mcp": { "servers": { "error-debugging": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"], "description": "Advanced error detection and debugging" } } } }

✅ Integration Verification

After configuration:

Restart your IDE to apply settings
Check MCP connection in IDE logs
Test with sample errors using provided test files
Verify tools are available: detect-errors, analyze-error

🔧 Usage & Tools

🎯 Available MCP Tools

The server provides two powerful tools for error analysis:

🔍 `detect-errors`

Detects errors from various sources with intelligent filtering:

{ "name": "detect-errors", "description": "Detect errors from various sources (console, runtime, build, test)", "parameters": { "source": "console|runtime|build|test|all", "language": "typescript|javascript|python|go|rust|php", "files": ["specific/files/to/analyze"], "includeWarnings": true, "realTime": true } }

🧠 `analyze-error`

Performs deep analysis of specific errors with AI-enhanced insights:

{ "name": "analyze-error", "description": "Perform deep analysis of a specific error", "parameters": { "errorId": "unique-error-identifier", "includeContext": true, "includeSuggestions": true, "includeHistory": true } }

📊 Error Detection Examples

The server automatically detects and categorizes various error types:

// 1. Type Safety Errors const invalidCode: string = 123; // TS7006: Type mismatch // 2. Null Safety Issues function processUser(user: User | null) { console.log(user.name); // TS18047: Possible null reference } // 3. Security Vulnerabilities function executeCode(code: string) { return eval(code); // SEC001: Security risk } // 4. Code Quality Issues const unusedVariable = "test"; // TS6133: Unused variable

🎮 Interactive Usage

In your IDE's AI chat, you can use commands like:

🔍 "Detect errors in the current file" 🧠 "Analyze the TypeScript error on line 42" 🔧 "Suggest fixes for null reference errors" 📊 "Show error statistics for this project"

� Troubleshooting

� Common Issues & Solutions

"Failed to start the MCP server"

# Check Node.js version (requires 22.14.0+) node --version # Verify server path is correct ls -la /path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js # Test server manually node /path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js

"TypeScript compiler not found"

# Install TypeScript locally (recommended) npm install typescript # Or install globally npm install -g typescript # Verify installation npx tsc --version

"Connection closed" errors

Ensure the server path in IDE configuration is absolute
Check that Node.js is in your system PATH
Restart your IDE after configuration changes
Verify MCP extension is installed and enabled
