 ## Overview
 
 This server implements MCP for eGain Knowledge, unifying Portal Manager, Search, Retrieve, and Answers into a single endpoint your AI client can call. Use it from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others to browse portals, read articles, search/retrieve content, submit suggestions, and get AI‑powered answers with your existing portal permissions.

+The easiest way to get started is to install directly with `npx`. No cloning or building required!
 
-### Step 2: Configuring with MCP Clients  
-Firstly, to find your API domain, use the eGain Administrator Console to retrieve the correct values:
+**Step 1:** Find your API domain using the eGain Administrator Console:
 1. Sign in as a Partition Admin → go to `Partition` → `Integration` → `Client Application`.
 2. Click `Metadata`. The value `API Domain` is detailed in the window.  
 
 Please contact your eGain PA if you do not have access to these admin-only details.

+
+> ⚠️ **Important:** Cloning is **only for contributors** or very specific use cases. **Do not modify the code** - the MCP works as intended. Any modifications are **unsupported** and may cause failures. If you encounter issues after modifying the code, we cannot provide support.

-Run the server manually for standalone debugging if you want to see raw logs, pass extra flags (e.g., `--log-level debug`), or reproduce issues in isolation:
+**Check our troubleshooting guide!** Most problems have quick solutions:
 
-```bash
-node ./bin/mcp-server.js start --api-domain "..."

+## Debugging
+
+For interactive testing and debugging, use the MCP Inspector. It provides a web interface where you can test MCP tools directly:
 
 ```bash
+# With cloned repository
 npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node ./bin/mcp-server.js start --api-domain "..."
+
+# Or with npx (published package)
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @egain/egain-mcp-server start --api-domain "..."
 ```
 
-**Note:** Avoid running the server manually while also using it with an MCP client.
+The inspector opens in your browser where you can:
+- See all available tools
+- Call tools with custom parameters
+- View request/response details
+- Test queries like "get my portals" or "show popular articles"
+
