# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Directory Purpose
**Project Documentation** - Comprehensive documentation, setup guides, and user-facing information for the OpenRouter MCP Server project.
## Files
**`README.md`** - 4-step setup, API config, features, examples (New users, quick-start approach)
**`DOCKER_README.md`** - Interactive menu, commands, architecture, MCP connection (Advanced users, implementation-focused)
**`CLAUDE.md`** - High-level architecture, components, workflow (Developers, architecture understanding)
## Architecture
**User Journey**: New Users (README.md) → Advanced (DOCKER_README.md) → Developers (CLAUDE.md)
**Hierarchy**: Level 1 (setup) → Level 2 (operations) → Level 3 (architecture)
**Cross-References**: Each doc references others for related concepts
## Strategy & Maintenance
**Content**: README.md (quick value, visual), DOCKER_README.md (complete coverage, security), Integration (actual scripts, consistent paths)
**Maintenance**: Command accuracy, correct paths, version alignment, update triggers (features, changes, troubleshooting)
**Standards**: Clear language, tested examples, visual hierarchy, expert quick-reference + beginner explanations
