## š Quick Start
### 1. Complete MCP Server (Recommended - v2.1.0)
```bash
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
```bash
# 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
```bash
# 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)
```bash
# Minimal server without dependencies (basic functionality only)
python3 simple_server.py
```
## š ļø MCP Tools Reference (v2.1.0)
### **execute_command** - Safe System Commands
```python
# Execute system commands with security validation
{
"command": "ls -la /home/projects",
"timeout": 30 # optional, defaults to 30 seconds
}
```
### **read_file** - Secure File Reading
```python
# Read file contents with path validation
{
"path": "/home/user/document.txt",
"encoding": "utf-8" # optional, defaults to utf-8
}
```
### **write_file** - Protected File Writing
```python
# Write content to files with safety checks
{
"path": "/home/user/output.txt",
"content": "Hello, World!",
"encoding": "utf-8" # optional
}
```
### **list_directory** - Advanced Directory Listing
```python
# List directory contents with filtering
{
"path": "/home/projects",
"recursive": false, # optional
"pattern": "*.py" # optional, supports glob patterns
}
```
### **search_files** - Powerful File Search
```python
# Search files by content or filename
{
"query": "MCP protocol",
"path": "/home/projects", # optional, defaults to current dir
"type": "both" # "content", "filename", or "both"
}
```
## š TaskWarrior Integration
Waygate MCP includes a comprehensive TaskWarrior-based project management system:
```bash
# Real-time project dashboard
./scripts/dashboard.sh
# Automated fix sequence generation
./scripts/fix-sequence.sh
# View project completion status
task project:waygate-mcp summary
```
**Features:**
- ā
Forensic-level issue tracking
- ā
Real-time health monitoring
- ā
Automated fix prioritization
- ā
Professional reporting system
- ā
Color-coded status indicators
## š„ļø Claude Desktop Setup
Complete integration guide available in [CLAUDE_DESKTOP_SETUP.md](CLAUDE_DESKTOP_SETUP.md)
**Quick Setup:**
1. Copy `claude_desktop_config.json` to Claude Desktop config directory
2. Update `cwd` path to your installation
3. Restart Claude Desktop
4. Test: "List available MCP tools"
### 5. Enterprise Deploy (with containers)
```bash
# For production with monitoring stack
./quickstart.sh
# Install auto-start systemd service
sudo scripts/install-systemd-service.sh
# Check systemd status
systemctl status waygate-mcp
```
