 # Dialtone MCP Server
 
-A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that provides AI assistants with search access to Dialtone's design system: utility classes, design tokens, and Vue components.
+A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that provides AI assistants with search access to Dialtone's design system: utility classes, design tokens, Vue components, and icons.
 
-## Quick Start
+Automatically filters deprecated items, swaps discouraged patterns with recommended alternatives, and provides AI-optimized search results.
 
-### 1. Build
+## Installation
 
-From the monorepo root:
+There are three ways to install the Dialtone MCP Server. **Project-scoped installation takes priority** over user-scoped when both exist.
+
+### Project-Scoped (Recommended for Teams)
+
+Best for team collaboration - everyone uses the same version via version control.
 
 ```bash
-pnpm install
-pnpm nx run dialtone-mcp-server:build
+npm install -D @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
 
-### 2. Test Interactively
+Create or update `.mcp.json` in your project root:
 
-Try out search queries (must be run from the package directory):
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dialtone": {
+      "command": "dialtone-mcp-server"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Commit `.mcp.json` to version control. Restart Claude Code to connect.
+
+**Priority:** Project-scoped beats user-scoped. The `dialtone-mcp-server` command resolves from `node_modules/.bin/` first.
+
+### User-Scoped (Personal, All Projects)
+
+Available across all your projects. Choose one method:
+
+**Option A: Install locally in your user directory**
 
 ```bash
-# Navigate to the package directory first!
-cd packages/dialtone-mcp-server
+# Install in a dedicated directory
+mkdir -p ~/.mcp-servers
+cd ~/.mcp-servers
+npm install @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
 
-# Then run the interactive tool
-pnpm run interactive
+# Add to Claude Code
+claude mcp add dialtone --scope user dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
 
-Or use tsx directly from anywhere:
+**Option B: Install globally**
+
 ```bash
-npx tsx packages/dialtone-mcp-server/interactive-search.ts
+npm install -g @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
+claude mcp add dialtone --scope user dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
 
-**Query Format:** Use keywords only, not questions.
-- ✓ Good: `padding 8px`, `color primary`, `button`
-- ✗ Bad: `how do I add padding?`, `what button component exists?`
+**Option C: Use npx (no installation)**
 
-Example session:
+```bash
+claude mcp add dialtone --scope user -- npx -y @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
-Select a search tool:
-  1. Utility Classes
-  2. Design Tokens
-  3. Components
 
-Enter 1, 2, or 3: 1
+This stores configuration in `~/.claude/mcp.json`.
 
-> padding 8px
-Found 8 results:
-  1. d-p8
-  2. d-pt8
-  3. d-pr8
-  4. d-pb8
-  ...
-```
+**Version checking:** When the server starts, you'll see the current version. If outdated, follow the instructions shown.
 
-Type `help` for more examples, `switch` to change tools, `quit` to exit.
+## Updating
 
-### 3. Configure with Claude Desktop
+**Project-scoped:**
 
-Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (MacOS) or `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):
+```bash
+npm install -D @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server@latest
+```
 
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "dialtone": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": [
-        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/dialtone/packages/dialtone-mcp-server/build/index.js"
-      ]
-    }
-  }
-}
+**User-scoped (local directory):**
+
+```bash
+cd ~/.mcp-servers
+npm update @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
 
-**Important:**
-- Use the absolute path to your dialtone repo
-- Restart Claude Desktop completely after updating the config
-- Look for the 🔌 icon to confirm connection
+**User-scoped (global):**
 
-**Finding your absolute path:**
 ```bash
-cd /path/to/dialtone
-pwd
-# Use the output + /packages/dialtone-mcp-server/build/index.js
+npm update -g @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server
 ```
 
+**User-scoped (npx):**
+
+No action needed - npx always uses the latest version.
+
+After updating, restart your Claude Code conversation to pick up the new version.

+**Version check shows old version:**
+- Restart your Claude Code conversation after updating
+- The server loads once at conversation start
+
+**MCP server not connecting:**
+
+For project-scoped:
+1. Verify `.mcp.json` is in your project root with correct format
+2. Check package is installed: `npm list @dialpad/dialtone-mcp-server`
+3. Verify bin command exists: `ls node_modules/.bin/dialtone-mcp-server`
+4. Restart Claude Code completely
+
+For user-scoped:
+1. List configured servers: `claude mcp list`
+2. Check if dialtone is listed and enabled
+3. Test the server: `claude mcp get dialtone`
+4. Check configuration: `cat ~/.claude/mcp.json`
+
+General:
+- Check Claude Code logs for connection errors
+- Remember: Project-scoped configuration overrides user-scoped
