## โš™๏ธ Configuration

### ๐Ÿ“ **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.

### ๐Ÿ”ง **Main Configuration**

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

```json
{
  "server": {
    "name": "error-debugging-mcp-server",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "logLevel": "info",
    "maxConnections": 10,
    "timeout": 30000
  },
  "detection": {
    "enabled": true,
    "realTime": true,
    "sources": {
      "console": true,
      "runtime": true,
      "build": true,
      "test": true,
      "linter": true,
      "staticAnalysis": true,
      "ide": true
    },
    "filters": {
      "excludeFiles": ["node_modules/**", "dist/**", "build/**"],
      "excludePatterns": ["*.min.js", "*.map"]
    },
    "polling": {
      "interval": 1000,
      "maxRetries": 3
    }
  },
  "analysis": {
    "enabled": true,
    "aiEnhanced": true,
    "confidenceThreshold": 0.7,
    "enablePatternMatching": true,
    "enableSimilaritySearch": true
  },
  "debugging": {
    "enabled": true,
    "maxConcurrentSessions": 5,
    "enableHotReload": true,
    "breakpoints": {
      "maxPerSession": 50,
      "enableConditional": true
    }
  },
  "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:

```json
{
  "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:

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

## ๐Ÿ”— IDE Integration

### ๐ŸŽฏ **Tested & Working Configuration**

Use this **production-tested** configuration for seamless integration:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "error-debugging": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ **IDE-Specific Setup**

#### ๐Ÿ”ต **VS Code**
Add to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "error-debugging": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "development"
      }
    }
  },
  "mcp.enableLogging": true,
  "mcp.logLevel": "debug"
}
```

#### ๐ŸŸก **Cursor IDE**
Create `~/.cursor/mcp-settings.json`:
```json
{
  "servers": {
    "error-debugging": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "description": "Advanced error detection and debugging"
    }
  }
}
```

#### ๐ŸŸข **Windsurf IDE**
Add to Windsurf's MCP configuration:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "error-debugging": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "mcp:*"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### ๐Ÿ”ด **Augment Code**
Add to your Augment workspace configuration:
```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "error-debugging": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": ["/path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
        "description": "Advanced error detection and debugging"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### โœ… **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`

## ๐Ÿ”ง Usage & Tools

### ๐ŸŽฏ **Available MCP Tools**

The server provides two powerful tools for error analysis:

#### ๐Ÿ” **`detect-errors`**
Detects errors from various sources with intelligent filtering:

```json
{
  "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
  }
}
```

#### ๐Ÿง  **`analyze-error`**
Performs deep analysis of specific errors with AI-enhanced insights:

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

### ๐Ÿ“Š **Error Detection Examples**

The server automatically detects and categorizes various error types:

```typescript
// 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
```

### ๐ŸŽฎ **Interactive Usage**

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

```
๐Ÿ” "Detect errors in the current file"
๐Ÿง  "Analyze the TypeScript error on line 42"
๐Ÿ”ง "Suggest fixes for null reference errors"
๐Ÿ“Š "Show error statistics for this project"
```

```bash
# Check Node.js version (requires 22.14.0+)
node --version

# Verify server path is correct
ls -la /path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js

# Test server manually
node /path/to/error-debugging-mcp-server/dist/index.js
```

#### **"TypeScript compiler not found"**
```bash
# Install TypeScript locally (recommended)
npm install typescript

# Or install globally
npm install -g typescript
