## Quick Start

### Installation

**Via npm (Recommended):**

```bash
npm install -g yfnhanced-mcp
```

**From source:**

```bash
# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/kanishka-namdeo/yfnhanced-mcp.git
cd yfnhanced-mcp
npm install

# Build TypeScript
npm run build
```

### Start Server

```bash
# If installed globally via npm
yfnhanced-mcp

# Or if running from source
npm start
```

### Claude Desktop Integration

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yfnhanced": {
      "command": "yfnhanced-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Or if running from source:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yfnhanced": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["absolute:\\path\\to\\yfnhanced-mcp\\dist\\index.js"],
      "cwd": "absolute:\\path\\to\\yfnhanced-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Usage with Other AI Tools

**Cursor AI:**

Add to Cursor's MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yfnhanced": {
      "command": "yfnhanced-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Cline AI:**

Add to Cline's MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yfnhanced": {
      "command": "yfnhanced-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**Custom Integration:**

Use the MCP SDK to integrate with any AI assistant:

```typescript
import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk';

const client = new Client({
  name: 'your-app',
  version: '1.0.0',
});

await client.connect({
  command: 'yfnhanced-mcp',
});

// Use financial data tools
const quote = await client.callTool({
  name: 'get_quote',
  arguments: { symbol: 'AAPL' }
});
```

## Quick Reference

### What Works ✅

- Real-time quotes (price, volume, market cap, etc.)
- Historical OHLCV data with integrity validation
- Company profiles and business information
- Earnings data with surprise analysis
- Analyst ratings and target prices
- Company news with metadata
- Options chains with Greeks
- Major holders information
- Trending symbols and stock screener

### Known Issues ⚠️

- **Financial Statements:** May encounter validation errors for some symbols
  - See [DATA_VERIFICATION.md](docs/DATA_VERIFICATION.md) for workarounds

- **Crypto/Forex:** Tools exist but return placeholder data
  - See [DATA_VERIFICATION.md](docs/DATA_VERIFICATION.md) for alternatives

### Performance

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Quote queries | 60 requests/minute (configurable) |
| Batch operations | Up to 100 symbols per request |
| Cache hit ratio | 70-90% for frequently accessed symbols |
| Cold start time | <500ms |
| Test coverage | 95%+ for core middleware |

---

## Configuration

For detailed configuration options, see [CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md).

### Quick Configuration

Create `config.json`:

```json
{
  "rateLimit": {
    "requestsPerMinute": 60,
    "requestsPerHour": 1500
  },
  "cache": {
    "ttlQuotes": 60000,
    "maxCacheSize": 1000
  },
  "circuitBreaker": {
    "failureThreshold": 5,
    "monitoringWindow": 60000,
    "successThreshold": 3
  },
  "server": {
    "transport": "stdio",
    "logLevel": "info"
  }
}
```

---

## Testing

```bash
npm test              # All tests
npm run test:coverage  # With coverage report
npm run lint         # Code quality checks
npm run typecheck     # TypeScript validation
```

Test suites include:
- Unit tests (95%+ coverage for core middleware)
- Integration tests (full tool and resource workflows)
- End-to-end tests (complete user journeys)
- Chaos tests (network failures, API changes, partial data)
