Adding New Tools

1. Create a new tool class extending BaseTool

2. Implement getTools() and executeTool() methods

4. Add tests for the new tool

Code Style

This project uses TypeScript with strict mode enabled. Make sure to:

• Use proper type annotations

• Follow existing naming conventions

• Add JSDoc comments for public methods

• Write tests for new functionality

🔒 Security Considerations

• API Keys: Never commit API keys to version control

• Environment Variables: Use .env files for local development

• Production: Use proper secret management in production

• Rate Limiting: Be aware of HubSpot API rate limits

• Permissions: Only request necessary HubSpot scopes

📚 Resources

• HubSpot API Documentation

• Model Context Protocol Specification

• Claude Desktop MCP Setup

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API key not found" error:

• Ensure your .env file is properly configured

• Check that the API key is valid and has necessary permissions

"Module not found" errors:

• Run npm install to ensure all dependencies are installed

• Run npm run build to compile TypeScript

Rate limiting errors:

• HubSpot has API rate limits. Implement proper retry logic for production use

• Consider using exponential backoff for failed requests

Connection timeouts:

• Check your internet connection

• Verify HubSpot service status

For more help, please open an issue.

🚀 Deployment

Production Considerations

1. Environment Variables: Use a proper secrets management system

2. Logging: Configure appropriate log levels

3. Monitoring: Set up health checks and monitoring

4. Scaling: Consider rate limiting and caching for high-volume usage

Docker Support (Coming Soon)

Docker support will be added in a future release for easier deployment.
