-# Claude/Windsurf Integration Guide
+# Claude Desktop Integration Guide
 
-This guide explains how to set up the Airtable MCP for use with Claude (including Anthropic's tools and in VSCode extensions like Windsurf).
+This guide provides detailed instructions for setting up the Airtable MCP with Claude Desktop.
 
-## Setup for Claude
+## Prerequisites
 
-### Requirements
+- Node.js 14+ installed
+- Claude Desktop installed
+- Airtable API token
+- Airtable base ID
 
-- Node.js v14 or higher
-- An Airtable account with Personal Access Token
-- An Airtable base you want to connect to
+## Configuration Steps
 
-### Configuration
+1. **Locate Configuration File**
+   - Open Finder
+   - Press `Cmd + Shift + G`
+   - Enter `~/Library/Application Support/Claude`
+   - Create or open `claude_desktop_config.json`
 
-Claude requires the configuration to be specified in JSON format. Here's how to set up the configuration for Claude:
-
-1. In Claude settings, add a new MCP server with these settings:
-   - Name: `airtable-mcp`
-   - Command: `npx`
-   - Arguments:
-     ```
-     -y @smithery/cli@latest run @rashidazarang/airtable-mcp --config {"airtable_token":"your_token_here","base_id":"your_base_id_here"}
-     ```
-
-2. **IMPORTANT: JSON Format**  
-   Make sure the JSON in the `--config` parameter is properly formatted:
-   - No line breaks
-   - No extra backslashes
-   - No surrounding quotes
-
-### Troubleshooting JSON Issues
-
-If you encounter the error `Unexpected token 'F', "Found & ig"... is not valid JSON`, try these fixes:
-
-1. **Method 1: Simplify JSON** - Remove any complex characters from your token and try again.
-
-2. **Method 2: Escape Properly** - Make sure you format the command with proper escaping:
-   ```
-   -y @smithery/cli@latest run @rashidazarang/airtable-mcp --config {\"airtable_token\":\"your_token_here\",\"base_id\":\"your_base_id_here\"}
-   ```
-
-3. **Method 3: Use Separate Parameters** - Instead of using --config, use individual parameters:
-   ```
-   -y @smithery/cli@latest run @rashidazarang/airtable-mcp --token your_token_here --base your_base_id_here
-   ```
-
-## Setup for Windsurf
-
-Windsurf users should use a dedicated config file to avoid JSON parsing issues:
-
-1. Create a file called `mcp_config.json` with:
+2. **Add Configuration**
    ```json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
-       "AIRTABLE": {
+       "airtable-mcp": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
-           "-y",
-           "@smithery/cli@latest",
+           "@smithery/cli",
            "run",
            "@rashidazarang/airtable-mcp",
            "--token",
-           "your_token_here",
+           "YOUR_AIRTABLE_TOKEN",
            "--base",
-           "your_base_id_here"
+           "YOUR_BASE_ID"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    ```
 
-2. In Windsurf settings, configure it to use this file.
+3. **Replace Credentials**
+   - Replace `YOUR_AIRTABLE_TOKEN` with your token from [Airtable Account](https://airtable.com/account)
+   - Replace `YOUR_BASE_ID` with your base ID (found in your Airtable base URL)
 
-## Common Issues
+4. **Restart Claude Desktop**
+   - Close Claude Desktop completely
+   - Wait 5 seconds
+   - Reopen Claude Desktop
+   - Wait 30 seconds for the connection to establish
 
-### AbortController Error
+## Verification
 
-If you see an error like `ReferenceError: AbortController is not defined`, this is because you're using an older version of Node.js that doesn't include this feature. Options to fix:
+Test the connection by asking Claude:
+- "Show me all my Airtable bases"
+- "What tables are in this base?"
+- "Show me the first 5 records from any table"
 
-1. **Update Node.js** (recommended) - Install Node.js v15+ which includes AbortController natively.
+## Troubleshooting
 
-2. **Use Polyfill** - New versions of our MCP (1.1.0+) automatically add a polyfill for older Node versions.
+### Connection Issues
+1. Verify Node.js installation:
+   ```bash
+   node -v  # Should show v14 or higher
+   ```
 
-### Server Disconnected or Timeout Errors
+2. Test Smithery CLI:
+   ```bash
+   npx @smithery/cli --version
+   ```
 
-1. Check that your Airtable token is valid and has the necessary permissions
-2. Ensure you have proper internet connectivity
-3. Try restarting the MCP server
-4. Check the logs for any specific error messages
+3. Check logs:
+   - Open `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-airtable-mcp.log`
+   - Look for any error messages
 
-## Using the MCP with Claude
+### Common Errors
 
-Once connected, you can use the following tools:
+1. **"Command not found"**
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g npm@latest
+   ```
 
-- `list_bases` - Show available Airtable bases
-- `list_tables` - List tables in the current base
-- `list_records` - Get records from a specific table
-- `create_records` - Add new records to a table
-- `update_records` - Modify existing records
+2. **JSON Parsing Errors**
+   - Remove any extra backslashes
+   - Use the exact format shown above
+   - Ensure no trailing commas
 
-For example, in Claude, you might ask:
-"Please list all tables in my Airtable base and then show me records from the 'Contacts' table."
+3. **Connection Timeout**
+   - Wait full 30 seconds after startup
+   - Check your internet connection
+   - Verify API token is valid

+# Development Guide
+
+## 🛠️ **Development Setup**
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Node.js >= 14.0.0
+- Python 3.10+ (for legacy Python server)
+- Airtable Personal Access Token
+
+### Installation
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/rashidazarang/airtable-mcp.git
+cd airtable-mcp
+npm install
+```
+
+## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Recommended Implementation: `airtable_simple.js`**
+- **Status**: ✅ Production Ready
+- **Protocol**: HTTP/JSON-RPC 2.0
+- **Port**: 8010
+- **Features**: 
+  - Direct Airtable API integration
+  - Proper error handling
+  - CORS support
+  - Standard MCP tool definitions
+
+### **Legacy Implementation: `inspector_server.py`**
+- **Status**: ⚠️ Has compatibility issues
+- **Protocol**: FastMCP (Python)
+- **Issues**: 
+  - `app.rpc_method` not available in MCP 1.4.1
+  - `app.start()` method missing
+  - Complex dependency management
+
+## 🧪 **Testing**
+
+### **Quick Tests**
+```bash
+# Run quick tests
+npm run test:quick
+
+# Run comprehensive tests
+npm run test
+```
+
+### **Manual Testing**
+```bash
+# Start the server
+npm start -- --token YOUR_TOKEN --base YOUR_BASE_ID
+
+# Test with curl
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8010/mcp \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "list_tables"}}'
+```
+
+## 🔧 **Adding New Tools**
+
+### **JavaScript Server (`airtable_simple.js`)**
+
+1. **Add Tool Handler**
+```javascript
+if (toolName === 'your_new_tool') {
+  // Your tool implementation
+  const result = await callAirtableAPI('your/endpoint');
+  
+  const response = {
+    jsonrpc: '2.0',
+    id: request.id,
+    result: {
+      content: [
+        {
+          type: 'text',
+          text: 'Your tool response'
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  };
+  
+  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
+  res.end(JSON.stringify(response));
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+2. **Add to Resources/Prompts** (if needed)
+```javascript
+// In resources/list handler
+{
+  id: 'your_resource',
+  name: 'Your Resource',
+  description: 'Description of your resource'
+}
+
+// In prompts/list handler
+{
+  id: 'your_prompt',
+  name: 'Your Prompt',
+  description: 'Description of your prompt'
+}
+```
+
+### **Python Server (`inspector_server.py`)**
+
+⚠️ **Note**: The Python server has compatibility issues and is not recommended for new development.
+
+## 📦 **Building and Publishing**
+
+### **Update Version**
+```bash
+# Update version in package.json
+npm version patch  # or minor/major
+```
+
+### **Test Before Publishing**
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+npm run test
+npm run test:quick
+
+# Test with real Airtable data
+npm start -- --token YOUR_TOKEN --base YOUR_BASE_ID
+```
+
+### **Publish to NPM**
+```bash
+npm publish
+```
+
+## 🐛 **Debugging**
+
+### **Common Issues**
+
+1. **Port Already in Use**
+```bash
+lsof -ti:8010 | xargs kill -9
+```
+
+2. **Python MCP Compatibility**
+- Check MCP version: `pip show mcp`
+- Update to latest: `pip install --upgrade mcp`
+
+3. **Airtable API Issues**
+- Verify token permissions
+- Check base ID format
+- Test API directly: `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" https://api.airtable.com/v0/meta/bases`
+
+### **Logging**
+- JavaScript server logs to console
+- Python server uses Python logging
+- Check for error messages in MCP client logs
+
+## 📋 **Code Standards**
+
+### **JavaScript**
+- Use ES6+ features
+- Proper error handling with try/catch
+- Consistent JSON-RPC response format
+- Add JSDoc comments for functions
+
+### **Python**
+- Follow PEP 8 style guide
+- Use type hints
+- Proper exception handling
+- Add docstrings for functions
