I can see there's a `.taskmaster/` directory, which indicates Task Master is set up. Let me check if there are existing tasks and get the details of task 1. --- --- Perfect! I can see this is a project for building a Tally MCP server. Let me get the detailed information for task 1 to understand what needs to be done. --- --- Now I understand! Task 1 is "Project Setup and Environment Configuration" for building a Tally MCP server. It has 5 subtasks that need to be completed in order. Let me start with the first subtask and work through them systematically. Let me begin with subtask 1.1: "Initialize Node.js Project with Package.json" --- --- --- Now let me start implementing subtask 1.1. First, let me check if there's already a package.json file: --- <details> <summary>Searched codebase "package.json" • **0** results</summary> No results found </details> --- Let me check if there's already a package.json file by reading the directory: --- Could not find file 'package.json' in the workspace. --- Perfect! There's no package.json yet, so I need to create one. Let me also check if git is already initialized: --- Read file: .gitignore --- Great! I can see that Git is already initialized (there's a `.git/` directory) and there's already a `.gitignore` file with appropriate Node.js exclusions. Now let me initialize the Node.js project by creating the `package.json` file: --- ```bash npm init -y ``` ``` ╭─    ~/dev/projects/tally-mcp    main !3 ?1 ······································· ✔  11:30:37   ╰─ npm init -y ``` --- Now let me check the generated package.json and modify it to include the Node.js 18.x requirement: --- Read file: package.json --- Now I need to modify the package.json to add the Node.js 18.x engine requirement and improve the configuration for a TypeScript MCP server project: --- ```diff "name": "tally-mcp", "version": "1.0.0", - "main": "index.js", + "description": "MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Tally.so form management and automation", + "main": "dist/index.js", + "types": "dist/index.d.ts", + "engines": { + "node": ">=18.0.0" + }, "scripts": { - "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" + "build": "tsc", + "dev": "ts-node src/index.ts", + "start": "node dist/index.js", + "watch": "nodemon --exec ts-node src/index.ts", + "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", + "clean": "rm -rf dist" }, - "keywords": [], + "keywords": [ + "mcp", + "model-context-protocol", + "tally", + "forms", + "automation" + ], "author": "", - "license": "ISC", - "description": "" + "license": "ISC" } ``` --- Perfect!
