🚀 Quick Start

1. Complete MCP Server (Recommended - v2.1.0)

git clone https://github.com/waygateai/waygate-mcp.git cd waygate-mcp # Setup virtual environment python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS # venv\Scripts\activate # Windows # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Start full MCP server with all tools python -m source.waygate_mcp --port 8000 --env production

2. Verify Complete Functionality

# Health check with all subsystems curl http://localhost:8000/health # List all 5 MCP tools curl http://localhost:8000/mcp/tools # Test dashboard and project status ./scripts/dashboard.sh

3. Claude Desktop Integration

# Copy configuration to Claude Desktop cp claude_desktop_config.json ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json # Update the 'cwd' path to your installation directory # Restart Claude Desktop # Test in Claude Desktop: # "List the available MCP tools" # "Use the list_directory tool to show the current directory contents"

4. Legacy Simple Server (Fallback)

# Minimal server without dependencies (basic functionality only) python3 simple_server.py
