## 🚀 **Quick Start (For Interviewers)**

### **One-Command Setup**
```bash
# Clone the repo 
git clone https://github.com/jatinderbhola/mcp-taskflow-tracker-api.git

# setup everything in one command
npm run setup
```

This will:
- ✅ Install all dependencies
- ✅ Start PostgreSQL and Redis services
- ✅ Create databases and run migrations
- ✅ Seed test data
- ✅ Build the project
- ✅ Run tests to verify everything works

### **Test the MCP Integration**
```bash
# Start the API server
npm run dev

# In another terminal, test MCP
npm run mcp:test

# Interactive testing with MCP Inspector
npm run mcp:inspector
```

### **Demo Scenarios**
Try these natural language queries:
- `"Show Alice's overdue tasks"`
- `"Analyze Bob's workload"`
- `"Assess risk for project Alpha"`

## 🤖 **MCP Tools Available**

| Tool | Purpose | Example |
|------|---------|---------|
| **Natural Language Query** | Process natural language queries | `"Show Alice's overdue tasks"` |
| **Workload Analysis** | Analyze team member capacity | `"Analyze Bob's workload"` |
| **Risk Assessment** | Assess project health | `"Assess risk for project Alpha"` |

### **API Documentation**

Once the server is running, visit the interactive API documentation:
- **Swagger UI**: http://localhost:3000/api-docs/

![Swagger](docs/SWAGGER.png)

The Swagger documentation provides:
- ✅ **Interactive API testing** - Try endpoints directly from the browser
- ✅ **Request/Response examples** - See expected data formats
- ✅ **Authentication details** - Understand required headers and tokens
- ✅ **Error responses** - View possible error codes and messages
- ✅ **Schema definitions** - Complete data models for all endpoints


## 🛠️ **Available Scripts**

### **Development**
```bash
npm run dev          # Start development server
npm run build        # Build for production
npm run mcp:start    # Start MCP server
npm run mcp:test     # Test MCP integration
npm run mcp:inspector # Interactive MCP testing
```

### **Database**
```bash
npm run prisma:generate  # Generate Prisma client
npm run prisma:migrate   # Run database migrations
npm run prisma:studio    # Open Prisma Studio
```

### **Testing**
```bash
npm test              # Run all tests
npm run test:unit     # Unit tests only
npm run test:integration # Integration tests only
```

## 🔧 **Configuration**

### **Environment Variables**
Create a `.env` file if does not exists
```bash
    cp .env.example .env
```

> ⚠️ **Warning:** THIS `.env.example` IS CARRYING JUST DEFAUTL ENV KEYS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR THE ASSESSMENT

### **Manual Setup** (if needed)
```bash
# Create databases
createdb taskflow
createdb taskflow_test

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run migrations
npm run prisma:migrate

# Seed test data
node scripts/seed-test-data.js

# Build and test
npm run build
npm run mcp:test
```
