```bash
# List available tools
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | node build/index.js
# Search candidates
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"boond_candidates_search","arguments":{"query":"developer","limit":5}}}' | node build/index.js
# Get company by ID
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"boond_companies_get","arguments":{"id":"12345"}}}' | node build/index.js

## Troubleshooting
### "BOOND_API_TOKEN environment variable is not set"
Make sure you've set the `BOOND_API_TOKEN` environment variable either in your `.env` file or in the Claude Desktop configuration.
### "Authentication failed" or 401 errors
- Verify your API token is correct
- Check that the token has the necessary permissions
- Ensure your BoondManager instance URL is correct (default: https://ui.boondmanager.com)
### "Resource not found" or 404 errors
- Verify the ID you're using exists in your BoondManager instance
- Check that you have permission to access that resource
### "Validation error" or 422 errors
- Check that all required parameters are provided
- Verify parameter types (e.g., dates should be in ISO format)
- Ensure enum values match allowed options
### Server won't start
- Ensure you've run `bun run build` to compile the TypeScript
- Check that all dependencies are installed (`bun install`)
- Verify Node.js version is 18 or higher
- Check that `BOOND_API_TOKEN` is set
### Tool not found
If you get "Tool not found" errors:
- Verify the tool name is correct (check spelling)
- Ensure the server has been rebuilt after adding new tools
- Check that the tool is properly registered in `src/index.ts`

TDQS
Scored across 95 tools
Every tool follows a clear entity-action pattern, and the entity names (candidates, resources, contracts, etc.) are distinct enough that an agent can reliably select the correct tool. The few broader verbs like 'search' or 'get' are scoped by entity, so there is no meaningful overlap.
All tools use the consistent boond_<plural_entity>_<verb> convention with snake_case throughout. Verbs such as search, get, create, update, delete, send, and certify are used consistently across entities.
95 tools is an extreme count that exceeds the 3-15 well-scoped range by a wide margin. Even though BoondManager covers a broad ERP domain, this MCP surface is too large and will create a heavy tool-selection burden for agents.
The tool set covers search/get/create/update for most core business objects and includes specialized lifecycle actions like sending quotations, certifying expenses, and installing apps. The main gap is the near-total absence of delete operations, but for many ERP records deletion is intentionally restricted, so this is a minor limitation rather than a fatal gap.
