🛠️ Development
Build Commands
# Build TypeScript to JavaScript
npm run build
# Development mode with hot reload
npm run dev
# Start production server (stdio mode)
npm start
# Start HTTP server for testing
npm run start:http
Testing
# Run test suite
npm test
HTTP Mode for Testing
The server can run in HTTP mode for testing without MCP clients:
# Start HTTP server on port 3456
PORT=3456 npm run start:http
Then test with curl:
curl -X POST http://localhost:3456/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_colors","arguments":{"query":"fintech"}},"id":1}'

"No results returned"
- Try broader search terms
- Use
search_allfor cross-domain queries - Check if the domain matches your query type
"Server not responding"
- Restart VS Code/Claude Desktop
- Check terminal for error messages
- Verify the server process is running
