Configure Claude Desktop Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`: **Windows** (`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "scs-mcp": { "command": "wsl", "args": [ "bash", "-c", "cd /path/to/scs-mcp && python3 -m src.server" ] } } } ``` **macOS/Linux** (`~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "scs-mcp": { "command": "python3", "args": ["-m", "src.server"], "cwd": "/path/to/scs-mcp" } } } ``` ### 3. Restart Claude Desktop --- ## Detailed Installation ### Step 1: Install Python Dependencies ```bash # Create virtual environment (recommended) python3 -m venv venv # Activate virtual environment # On Windows (WSL/Git Bash): source venv/Scripts/activate # On macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Download sentence transformer model python -c "from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer; SentenceTransformer('all-MiniLM-L6-v2')" ``` ### Step 2: Initialize Database ```bash # Create index for your project python scripts/init_index.py --project-root /path/to/your/project # Verify index python scripts/verify_index.py ``` ### Step 3: Configure Environment Create `.env` file in project root: ```bash # Project Settings PROJECT_ROOT=/path/to/your/code/project PROJECT_NAME=MyProject # Model Settings EMBEDDING_MODEL=all-MiniLM-L6-v2 EMBEDDING_CACHE_SIZE=1000 # Performance MAX_WORKERS=4 BATCH_SIZE=32 CACHE_TTL=300 # Features ENABLE_GIT_HISTORY=true ENABLE_METRICS=true ENABLE_ORCHESTRATION=true ``` ### Step 4: Test Installation ```bash # Run test suite python -m pytest tests/ # Test MCP connection python scripts/test_mcp.py ``` --- ## Voice Assistant Setup ### Step 1: Install Node.js Dependencies ```bash cd voice-assistant npm install # Setup media directories and database npm run setup ``` ### Step 2: Configure Voice Assistant Create `voice-assistant/.env`: ```bash # Server Configuration PORT=3000 WS_PORT=3001 # Optional: ElevenLabs for TTS ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Optional: OpenAI for enhanced processing OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here # Media Storage MAX_STORAGE_GB=5 CLEANUP_DAYS=30 ``` ### Step 3: Install VS Code Extension ```bash cd voice-assistant/vscode-extension npm install npm run compile # Open VS Code code . # Press F5 to run extension in debug mode ``` ### Step 4: Start Voice Assistant Server ```bash cd voice-assistant npm start # Or for development with auto-reload npm run dev ``` ### Step 5: Access Web UI Open browser to: [http://localhost:3000/media-ui.html](http://localhost:3000/media-ui.html) --- ## Claude Desktop Configuration ### Windows with WSL2 1. **Install WSL2**: ```powershell wsl --install wsl --set-default-version 2 ``` 2. **Setup in WSL**: ```bash # In WSL terminal cd /mnt/c/Users/YourName/Documents/ git clone https://github.com/yourusername/scs-mcp.git cd scs-mcp ./scripts/install.sh ``` 3. **Configure Claude Desktop**: ```json { "mcpServers": { "scs-mcp": { "command": "wsl", "args": [ "bash", "-c", "cd /mnt/c/Users/YourName/Documents/scs-mcp && python3 -m src.server" ], "env": { "PROJECT_ROOT": "/mnt/c/Users/YourName/YourProject" } } } } ``` ### macOS 1. **Install Homebrew** (if not installed): ```bash /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" ``` 2. **Install Python**: ```bash brew install python@3.11 ``` 3. **Configure Claude Desktop**: ```json { "mcpServers": { "scs-mcp": { "command": "/opt/homebrew/bin/python3", "args": ["-m", "src.server"], "cwd": "/Users/YourName/Documents/scs-mcp", "env": { "PROJECT_ROOT": "/Users/YourName/YourProject" } } } } ``` ### Linux 1. **Install dependencies**: ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv git ``` 2. **Configure Claude Desktop**: ```json { "mcpServers": { "scs-mcp": { "command": "python3", "args": ["-m", "src.server"], "cwd": "/home/username/scs-mcp", "env": { "PROJECT_ROOT": "/home/username/your-project" } } } } ``` --- ## VS Code Extension ### Installation 1. **From VSIX file**: ```bash cd voice-assistant/vscode-extension npm run package # Creates voice-assistant-1.0.0.vsix # Install in VS Code code --install-extension voice-assistant-1.0.0.vsix ``` 2. **Development mode**: - Open `voice-assistant/vscode-extension` in VS Code - Press `F5` to launch new VS Code window with extension - Extension will auto-connect to voice server ### Configuration VS Code settings.json: ```json { "voiceAssistant.serverUrl": "ws://localhost:3001", "voiceAssistant.autoConnect": true, "voiceAssistant.voiceMode": "push", "voiceAssistant.notifications": "important" } ``` ### Keyboard Shortcuts - `Ctrl+Shift+V` / `Cmd+Shift+V`: Toggle voice assistant - `Ctrl+Shift+A` / `Cmd+Shift+A`: Ask question - `Ctrl+Shift+S` / `Cmd+Shift+S`: Take screenshot - `Ctrl+Shift+H` / `Cmd+Shift+H`: Show media history --- ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues #### 1. "MCP Server not found" in Claude Desktop **Solution**: Verify path in config file and restart Claude Desktop ```bash # Test server directly python3 -m src.server # Check for errors ``` #### 2. "Database locked" error **Solution**: Close other instances and clear lock ```bash # Find and kill python processes ps aux | grep python kill -9 [PID] # Remove lock file if exists rm .claude-symbols/*.db-shm rm .claude-symbols/*.db-wal ``` #### 3. Voice recognition not working **Solution**: - Use Chrome or Edge browser - Check microphone permissions - Ensure HTTPS or localhost connection #### 4. Import errors for sentence-transformers **Solution**: ```bash pip uninstall sentence-transformers torch pip install --no-cache-dir sentence-transformers torch ``` #### 5. WSL performance issues **Solution**: Move project to WSL filesystem ```bash # Move from Windows to WSL cp -r /mnt/c/path/to/project ~/projects/ cd ~/projects/project ``` ### Debug Mode Enable debug logging: ```bash # Set environment variable export SCS_DEBUG=true # Or in .env file SCS_DEBUG=true # Run with verbose output python3 -m src.server --debug ``` ### Log Files Check logs for errors: - Server logs: `logs/server.log` - Voice assistant: `voice-assistant/logs/` - VS Code extension: Help → Toggle Developer Tools --- ## Verification ### Test Complete Installation ```bash # 1. Test Python environment python3 scripts/test_install.py # 2. Test database python3 scripts/verify_index.py # 3. Test MCP tools python3 scripts/test_tools.py # 4.
