+# Tool Description Template
+
+This template standardizes how all tool descriptions should be written in the MCP Server project. Every tool should follow this structure.
+
+## Template Format
+
+```javascript
+function toolName(_appContext) {
+  let description = `
+## toolName — brief one-line description
+
+LLM Invocation Guidance (When to use)
+Use THIS tool when:
+- User request example 1
+- User request example 2
+- User request example 3
+
+Do NOT use this tool for:
+- When to use tool X instead
+- When to use tool Y instead
+- Common misconceptions
+
+Purpose
+Clear explanation of what this tool does and why someone would use it. Can be 1-3 sentences.
+
+Parameters
+[If tool has no required parameters, state "This tool requires no parameters."]
+- paramName (type, default value): Description of what this parameter does and any constraints.
+- anotherParam (type): Required parameter. Description of what it does.
+
+Response Contract
+Describe the format and structure of the response. Include:
+- The top-level structure (object, array, etc.)
+- Key fields in the response
+- Possible error conditions
+- Example response structure
+
+Disambiguation & Clarification
+- If user says "X" but might mean "Y" → clarify with: "Did you mean...?"
+- If parameter is ambiguous → explain how to handle missing/unclear values
+- List common confusion points with other similar tools
+
+Examples (→ mapped params)
+Real-world examples showing user input and how parameters map:
+- "user request example 1" → { param1: "value", param2: 10 }
+- "user request example 2" → { param1: "value" }
+
+Negative Examples (should NOT call toolName)
+- "user request that should use tool X" (use toolX instead)
+- "another incorrect usage" (use toolY instead)
+
+Related Tools
+Link to other tools in the workflow:
+- First step: listSomething or findSomething
+- Get details: infoTool or detailTool
+- Take action: actionTool or executeTool
+`;
+
+  let spec = {
+    name: 'toolName',
+    description: description,
+    schema: {
+      'paramName': z.string(),
+      'anotherParam': z.number().default(10)
+    },
+    required: ['paramName'],
+    handler: async (params) => {
+      let r = await _helperFunction(params);
+      return r;
+    }
+  }
+
+  return spec;
+}
+
+export default toolName;
+```
+
+## Section Guidelines
+
+### LLM Invocation Guidance
+- List 3-5 specific user request patterns that would trigger this tool
+- Use quotes for actual user phrases: `"find model X"`, `"list models"`
+- List 2-4 common misconceptions or tools to use instead
+- Be explicit: "Use THIS tool when..." and "Do NOT use this tool for..."
+
+### Purpose
+- 1-3 sentences maximum
+- Explain the business value, not just the mechanics
+- Can reference other tools if relevant
+
+### Parameters
+- **Format**: `paramName (type, default): description`
+- Include all parameters (required and optional)
+- Specify defaults clearly
+- Add constraints if applicable: `(1-100)`, `(required)`, `(optional)`, `(read-only)`
+- Be specific about what values are valid
+
+### Response Contract
+- Describe JSON structure the LLM will receive
+- Include key field names and their types
+- Mention empty/null cases
+- If applicable, show example response
+
+### Disambiguation & Clarification
+- Format as bullet points with possible user input and clarification
+- Include exact clarification question to ask (in quotes)
+- Mention edge cases
+
+### Examples
+- Format as: `"user phrase" → { param: "value" }`
+- Show 3-5 real-world examples
+- Include examples with different parameter combinations
+- Must demonstrate parameter mapping clearly
+
+### Negative Examples
+- Format as: `"incorrect user request" (use toolX instead)`
+- Show 2-3 common mistakes
+- Always specify which tool to use instead
+
+### Related Tools
+- Show workflow chains: listThing → findThing → infoThing → actionThing
+- Mention which tools come before/after in typical usage
+
+## Tone & Style Guidelines
+
+1. **Be specific**: Use actual examples and parameter values, not abstractions
+2. **Be explicit**: Say "Use THIS tool when" not "Can be used when"
+3. **Be practical**: Focus on when/how LLMs should invoke the tool
+4. **Be complete**: Include all parameters and all guidance sections
+5. **Be concise**: Keep descriptions focused and avoid redundancy
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before marking a tool as conforming to the template:
+

+# Configuring a Localhost MCP Server for Claude
+
+This guide covers how to connect Claude to a locally running MCP server (e.g., `http://localhost:8080/mcp`) for both Claude Desktop (Chat) and Claude Code (CLI/IDE).
+
+---
+
+## Quick Comparison
+
+| Feature | Claude Desktop (Chat) | Claude Code (CLI/IDE) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Config file | `claude_desktop_config.json` | `.claude/settings.json` |
+| HTTP MCP support | Limited | Full |
+| OAuth2 on localhost | Not supported via config | Supported |
+| stdio MCP support | Yes | Yes |
+| Auth via headers | Not in config file | Via `auth` object |
+
+---
+
+## Claude Desktop (Chat)
+
+Claude Desktop reads from:
+- **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+### What is supported
+
+Claude Desktop reliably supports **stdio-based MCP servers** (local processes). HTTP with OAuth2 on localhost is **not supported** via the config file.
+
+### Option 1 — stdio (recommended for local servers)
+
+Wrap your server as a stdio process (or use a stdio-compatible launcher):
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "command": "node",
+            "args": ["C:/path/to/your/mcp-server.js"],
+            "env": {
+                "API_KEY": "your-key"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Option 2 — HTTP via `mcp-remote` bridge
+
+[`mcp-remote`](https://github.com/geelen/mcp-remote) translates HTTP/SSE → stdio so Claude Desktop can connect to a local HTTP server without native OAuth2 support:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "command": "npx",
+            "args": [
+                "mcp-remote",
+                "http://localhost:8080/mcp"
+            ]
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Option 3 — Remote HTTPS server with OAuth2 (via UI)
+
+If you expose your local server via HTTPS tunnel (e.g., [ngrok](https://ngrok.com), Cloudflare Tunnel), you can add it in Claude Desktop via:
+
+**Settings → Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector**
+
+Claude Desktop will handle the OAuth2 flow through the UI. This cannot be done via `claude_desktop_config.json`.
+
+### What does NOT work in `claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+```json
+// This will be skipped with "not valid MCP configuration" error:
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "type": "http",
+            "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",
+            "auth": { ... }        // <-- not supported
+        }
+    },
+    "preferences": { ... }         // <-- not valid here either
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Claude Code (CLI / IDE Extension)
+
+Claude Code reads from:
+- **Project-level:** `.claude/settings.json` in your project root
+- **Global:** `~/.claude/settings.json`
+
+Project-level settings take precedence and are scoped to that workspace.
+
+### Option 1 — HTTP with OAuth2 (full support)
+
+Claude Code has native OAuth2 support for HTTP MCP servers running on localhost:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "type": "http",
+            "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",
+            "auth": {
+                "type": "oauth2",
+                "clientId": "vscodemcp",
+                "authorizationUrl": "http://localhost:8080/oauth/authorize",
+                "tokenUrl": "http://localhost:8080/oauth/token",
+                "scope": "openid",
+                "redirectUrl": "http://localhost:8080/oauth/callback",
+                "metadata": "http://localhost:8080/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Claude Code will open the browser for the OAuth2 authorization flow on first use.
+
+### Option 2 — HTTP with a static Bearer token
+
+If your server accepts a static token instead of OAuth2:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "type": "http",
+            "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",
+            "headers": {
+                "Authorization": "Bearer your-static-token"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Option 3 — stdio
+
+stdio also works in Claude Code:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "sasmcp": {
+            "command": "node",
+            "args": ["C:/path/to/your/mcp-server.js"],
+            "env": {
+                "API_KEY": "your-key"
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### `preferences` block
+
+The `preferences` block belongs in `.claude/settings.json` separately from the MCP server definition — do not mix them into the same object as `mcpServers`:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": { ... },
+    "preferences": {
+        "coworkWebSearchEnabled": true
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary: Which approach to use?
+
+| Scenario | Recommended approach |
+|---|---|
+| Local server, Claude Desktop, no auth | stdio in `claude_desktop_config.json` |
+| Local server, Claude Desktop, OAuth2 | `mcp-remote` bridge via stdio |
+| Local server, Claude Code, OAuth2 | HTTP + `auth` block in `.claude/settings.json` |
+| Remote HTTPS, Claude Desktop, OAuth2 | Add via Desktop UI (Connectors) |
+| Remote HTTPS, Claude Code, OAuth2 | HTTP + `auth` block in `.claude/settings.json` |
