    }
  }
}

If installed locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-wtit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["./node_modules/mcp-wtit/dist/index.js"]
    }

Debug with MCP Inspector

MCP Inspector provides a web-based interface to test and debug your MCP server:

# Build the project first
npm run build

# Run with MCP Inspector
npm run inspect

This will:

1. Start the MCP Inspector on http://localhost:6274

2. Automatically open your browser

3. Connect to the MCP server with debug capabilities

In the Inspector, you can:

• View available tools and their schemas

• Test tool calls with different parameters

• Monitor request/response communication

• Debug server behavior in real-time

For Development

# Run in development mode
npm run dev

# Run tests
npm test

# Run tests with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Lint code
npm run lint

# Type check
npm run typecheck
