# Error Prevention Guidelines ## Quick Reference **DXT Properties**: `dxt_version`, `entry_point`, `mcp_config`, `user_config`, `sensitive` **Valid Platforms**: `win32`, `darwin`, `linux` (NOT `windows`, `macos`) **CLI Commands**: `dxt validate`, `dxt pack`, `dxt sign`, `dxt verify` **MCP Tools**: `chat_completion()`, `search_models()`, `get_model_info()`, `validate_model()` ## Core Standards - **DXT Manifest Structure**: Use `server.mcp_config.command` with args array, direct property mapping for `user_config` (no nested properties object) - **Platform Compatibility**: Use Node.js platform identifiers (`darwin` for macOS), specify minimum versions with `>=` syntax - **Environment Variables**: Map user config with `${user_config.property_name}` syntax in `mcp_config.env` - **TypeScript**: Import types with `.js` extensions for ES modules, use strict compilation with declaration files ## Error Resolution Process 1. **Validate Manifest**: Run `dxt validate manifest.json` to catch schema violations early 2. **Fix Platform Names**: Replace user-friendly names with Node.js platform constants 3. **Restructure Config**: Move user configuration properties to root level of `user_config` object 4. **Add Required Fields**: Include `mcp_config.command` and `args` array for server execution 5. **Remove Unsupported Fields**: Strip `enum` arrays and unsupported validation properties ## Architecture Patterns - **MCP Server Integration**: Package compiled `dist/` files with `node_modules` production dependencies only - Use `.dxtignore` to exclude source files, tests, and development tools - Set executable permissions on entry point during build process - **Configuration Management**: Implement sensitive data handling with OS keychain integration through `sensitive: true` flag ## Workflow Standards - **DXT Packaging**: Build TypeScript first, validate manifest, then pack to avoid runtime errors - **Dependency Management**: Test production-only installs to verify bundled dependencies are sufficient ## Quality Gates - **Bundle Size**: Target under 50MB for typical MCP servers through selective dependency inclusion - **Cross-Platform**: Test on Windows, macOS, Linux with Node.js >=18.0.0 requirement
