⚙️ Configuration

📁 Configuration Files

The server uses three types of configuration files:

1. error-debugging-config.json - Main server configuration (project root)

2. .error-debugging.json - Workspace-specific settings (workspace root)

3. .error-debugging-preferences.json - User preferences (home directory)

Note: If no configuration file exists, the server automatically creates error-debugging-config.json with default settings when first started.

🔧 Main Configuration

Create error-debugging-config.json in your project root:

{
  "server": {
    "name": "error-debugging-mcp-server",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "logLevel": "info",
    "maxConnections": 10,
    "timeout": 30000
  },
  "detection": {
    "enabled": true,
    "realTime": true,
    "sources": {

    }
  },
  "performance": {
    "enabled": true,
    "monitoring": {
      "enabled": true,
      "interval": 5000
    }
  }
}

Note: If no configuration file exists, the server will automatically create error-debugging-config.json with default settings when first started.

Workspace Configuration

For project-specific settings, create .error-debugging.json in your workspace root:

{
  "projectName": "my-project",
  "rootPath": "/path/to/project",
  "excludePatterns": ["node_modules/**", "dist/**", "*.min.js"],
  "includePatterns": ["src/**", "lib/**"],
  "languageSettings": {
    "typescript": {
      "strictMode": true,
      "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES2020"
      }
    },
    "javascript": {
      "eslintConfig": ".eslintrc.js"
    }
  }
}

User Preferences

For personal settings, create .error-debugging-preferences.json in your home directory:

{
  "theme": "dark",
  "notifications": {
    "enabled": true,
    "sound": false,
    "desktop": true
  },
  "editor": {
    "fontSize": 14,
    "fontFamily": "Monaco",
    "tabSize": 2
  },
  "debugging": {
    "autoBreakOnError": true,
    "showStackTrace": true,

      }
    }
  }
}

✅ Integration Verification

After configuration:

1. Restart your IDE to apply settings

2. Check MCP connection in IDE logs

3. Test with sample errors using provided test files

4. Verify tools are available: detect-errors, analyze-error

🔧 Usage & Tools

🎯 Available MCP Tools

The server provides two powerful tools for error analysis:

🔍 detect-errors

Detects errors from various sources with intelligent filtering:

{
  "name": "detect-errors",
  "description": "Detect errors from various sources (console, runtime, build, test)",
  "parameters": {
    "source": "console|runtime|build|test|all",
    "language": "typescript|javascript|python|go|rust|php",
    "files": ["specific/files/to/analyze"],
    "includeWarnings": true,
    "realTime": true
  }
}

🧠 analyze-error

Performs deep analysis of specific errors with AI-enhanced insights:

{
  "name": "analyze-error",
  "description": "Perform deep analysis of a specific error",
  "parameters": {
    "errorId": "unique-error-identifier",
    "includeContext": true,
    "includeSuggestions": true,
    "includeHistory": true
  }
}

📊 Error Detection Examples

The server automatically detects and categorizes various error types:

// 1. Type Safety Errors
const invalidCode: string = 123; // TS7006: Type mismatch

// 2. Null Safety Issues
function processUser(user: User | null) {
  console.log(user.name); // TS18047: Possible null reference
}

// 3. Security Vulnerabilities
function executeCode(code: string) {
  return eval(code); // SEC001: Security risk
}

// 4. Code Quality Issues
const unusedVariable = "test"; // TS6133: Unused variable

🎮 Interactive Usage

In your IDE's AI chat, you can use commands like:

🔍 "Detect errors in the current file"
🧠 "Analyze the TypeScript error on line 42"
🔧 "Suggest fixes for null reference errors"
📊 "Show error statistics for this project"
