## 🔧 When to Use Manual Setup
Use manual setup when:
- You want to customize the installation location
- You're setting up on a system not supported by the automated installers
- You need to integrate with a custom MCP client configuration
- You're developing or debugging the MCP server
## 🆘 Need Help?
If you encounter issues during manual setup:
1. Check the detailed guides in this directory
2. Review the [troubleshooting section](../../docs/installation/) in the main documentation
3. Ensure all prerequisites are properly installed
4. Verify your API key is valid at [app.ratespot.io](https://app.ratespot.io)
## 🚀 Automated Alternative
For most users, we recommend using the automated installers:
- **macOS**: Use the installer app in [../macos/](../macos/)
- **Windows**: Use the setup script in [../windows/](../windows/)
These provide a much simpler installation experience with automatic configuration.
