🚀 Quick Start (For Interviewers)

One-Command Setup

# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/jatinderbhola/mcp-taskflow-tracker-api.git # setup everything in one command npm run setup

This will:

✅ Install all dependencies
✅ Start PostgreSQL and Redis services
✅ Create databases and run migrations
✅ Seed test data
✅ Build the project
✅ Run tests to verify everything works

Test the MCP Integration

# Start the API server npm run dev # In another terminal, test MCP npm run mcp:test # Interactive testing with MCP Inspector npm run mcp:inspector

Demo Scenarios

Try these natural language queries:

"Show Alice's overdue tasks"
"Analyze Bob's workload"
"Assess risk for project Alpha"

🤖 MCP Tools Available

Tool	Purpose	Example
Natural Language Query	Process natural language queries	`"Show Alice's overdue tasks"`
Workload Analysis	Analyze team member capacity	`"Analyze Bob's workload"`
Risk Assessment	Assess project health	`"Assess risk for project Alpha"`
