Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/intecrel/industrial-mcp.git
cd industrial-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Start development server:

npm run dev

4. Verify the server is running:

# Test basic endpoint
curl http://localhost:3000/api/mcp

# Test MCP protocol initialization
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
      "capabilities": {"roots": {"listChanged": false}},
      "clientInfo": {"name": "test-client", "version": "1.0.0"}
    }
  }'

🧪 Testing with MCP Inspector

The MCP Inspector provides a web interface for testing your MCP server:

# Install MCP Inspector globally
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# Run inspector against local server
mcp-inspector http://localhost:3000/api/mcp

# Or run against production server
mcp-inspector https://industrial-fvucjqopi-samuels-projects-2dd2e35e.vercel.app/api/mcp

🤖 Claude Desktop Integration

To connect this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Edit Claude Desktop Configuration

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add Server Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "industrial-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch",
        "http://localhost:3000/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.

4. Test in Claude

You can now use commands like:

• "Get the industrial system status"

• "Show me operational data for the last 24 hours"

• "Monitor equipment ID-12345 with history"

• "Echo test message"

🌐 Deployment

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Cannot find module '@vercel/mcp-adapter'"

   npm install @vercel/mcp-adapter

2. "Method not allowed" errors

   • Ensure you're using POST requests for MCP protocol

   • Include proper headers: Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream

3. Connection refused in Claude Desktop

   • Verify the server is running on the correct port

   • Check Claude Desktop configuration file syntax

   • Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes

4. Build errors on deployment

   npm run build  # Test build locally first
   npm run lint   # Fix any linting issues

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging by setting the environment variable:

DEBUG=mcp:* npm run dev
