 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.3
+
+### Docs
+- **Windows install section rewritten** to lead with the absolute-path recipe (`node <abs path to dist/index.js>`) instead of `cmd /c dexe-mcp`. End-to-end testing against Claude Code on Windows showed the `cmd /c` wrapper, while standalone functional, did not reliably complete the MCP handshake when spawned by Claude Code — the absolute-path recipe has zero shim resolution and is known-working.
+- **New prereq step**: verify `npm --version` actually runs in your shell *before* attempting `npm install -g dexe-mcp`. Users with a stripped `node.exe`-only install (common on Windows) will hit a silent `npm i -g` no-op otherwise, with no visible error.
+- Added a "Verify the install" section showing how to smoke-test `dexe-mcp` over stdio without involving Claude Code, so users can distinguish "MCP server broken" from "client registration broken".
+
+No code changes — 0.1.3 is a docs-only patch on top of 0.1.2's behavior.
+
+## 0.1.2
+
+### Fixed
+- **Server no longer hangs / fails on first launch.** The heavy `git clone` + `npm install` bootstrap is now lazy — it runs only when a build tool (`dexe_compile`, `dexe_test`, `dexe_coverage`, `dexe_lint`) is first invoked, not inside MCP `initialize()`. Previously the MCP handshake would block for minutes or time out, and crash outright on hosts where `npm` / `git` were not on the spawned process's PATH.
+- **PATH-independent spawning of `npm` and `hardhat`.** The runner now invokes `node <npm-cli.js>` and `node <protocol>/node_modules/hardhat/internal/cli/cli.js` directly via `process.execPath`, so it works on Windows installs where `npm.cmd` / `npx.cmd` aren't on the MCP client's spawn PATH (common with nvm-windows and with stripped `node.exe`-only installs).
+- **Actionable error messages** when `git` is not installed, when `DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH` points at a non-Hardhat directory, or when the user-managed checkout is missing `node_modules`.
+- Concurrent build-tool calls now coalesce into a single bootstrap instead of racing `git clone` / `npm install`.
+
+### Changed
+- `loadConfig()` no longer hard-fails when the DeXe-Protocol checkout is missing or incomplete at startup — it logs a soft warning to stderr and defers preparation to the first build-tool invocation.
+- `src/bootstrap.ts` split into `resolveProtocolPath()` (cheap, startup-safe) and `ensureBuildReady()` (lazy, idempotent).
+- New `src/runtime.ts` with portable `npmCommand()` / `hardhatCommand()` / `hasGit()` helpers.
+
+### Docs
+- README now has an OS-specific install matrix (Mac/Linux vs. Windows) and a "dev / local checkout" recipe. Troubleshooting section updated for the new lazy-bootstrap behavior and the `process.execPath` npm resolution.

 ## Prerequisites
 
-- **Node.js >= 20**
-- **Git** (the server auto-clones DeXe-Protocol on first run)
+- **Node.js >= 20** with a working `npm`. Verify before continuing:
 
-## Quick start
+  ```bash
+  node --version    # should print v20.x or higher
+  npm --version     # MUST print a version, not "command not found"
+  ```
 
-Add this to your project's `.mcp.json` (or your MCP client config):
+  If `npm --version` fails, you have a stripped Node install (a bare `node.exe` without the rest of the toolchain — common on Windows when `C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe` was placed manually). Install Node from <https://nodejs.org> or via [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) / [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows) and retry. Without npm, `npm install -g dexe-mcp` silently does nothing.
+
+- **Git** — only needed on first run, to clone DeXe-Protocol. If you already have a local checkout, point `DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH` at it and git is optional.
+
+## Install
+
+### 1. Install the package globally
+
+```bash
+npm install -g dexe-mcp
+```
+
+Verify the install landed by asking npm where it put it:
+
+```bash
+npm root -g
+# Mac/Linux:  /usr/local/lib/node_modules       (or ~/.nvm/versions/node/vXX.X.X/lib/node_modules)
+# Windows:    C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\nvm\<version>\node_modules
+#             (or C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules for non-nvm)
+```
+
+Note the output — you'll need it for the Windows install step below. The package lives at `<npm-root>/dexe-mcp/dist/index.js`.
+
+### 2. Register the MCP server
+
+#### Mac / Linux
+
+Bare command works because Unix `exec` resolves PATH directly:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add dexe -- dexe-mcp
+```
+
+Or in JSON (`.mcp.json`, `claude_desktop_config.json`, etc.):
 
 ```json
 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "dexe": {
-      "command": "npx",
-      "args": ["-y", "dexe-mcp"]
+      "command": "dexe-mcp"
     }
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Restart your MCP client. On first launch, `dexe-mcp` will automatically:
+#### Windows — recommended: absolute path to `node` + `dist/index.js`
 
-1. Clone `dexe-network/DeXe-Protocol` to a local cache directory (~200 MB, shallow clone)
-2. Run `npm install` in the checkout
+On Windows, `dexe-mcp` is installed as a `.cmd` shim that many MCP clients (including Claude Code as of this writing) fail to spawn cleanly over stdio. The **absolute-path** form bypasses shim resolution entirely and is the known-good recipe:
 
-Subsequent launches are instant. No manual setup needed.
+```bash
+claude mcp add dexe -- "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\nvm\<version>\node_modules\dexe-mcp\dist\index.js"
+```
+
+Substitute `<you>` and `<version>` (or use whatever `npm root -g` printed above). In JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dexe": {
+      "command": "C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe",
+      "args": ["C:/Users/<you>/AppData/Roaming/nvm/<version>/node_modules/dexe-mcp/dist/index.js"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
 
-### Advanced: custom checkout path
+This works because:
+- No PATH dependency — every argument is an absolute path
+- No `.cmd` / `.ps1` shim in the chain, so `CreateProcess` semantics don't trip over missing extensions
+- `dexe-mcp` internally invokes `npm`/`hardhat` via `process.execPath`, so it uses whichever Node you pointed at and does not need npm on the spawned process PATH
 
-If you already have a DeXe-Protocol checkout or want to control its location:
+<details>
+<summary>Alternative: <code>cmd /c dexe-mcp</code> (not recommended — often unreliable with Claude Code)</summary>
 
 ```json
 {
   "mcpServers": {
     "dexe": {

+      "command": "cmd",
+      "args": ["/c", "dexe-mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use only if the absolute-path form is inconvenient. End-to-end testing showed this can pass a direct stdio check but fail to complete the MCP handshake when spawned by Claude Code.
+</details>
+
+### 3. Verify the install (optional but recommended)
+
+Before wiring the server into your MCP client, confirm the binary can actually speak MCP over stdio. On any OS:
+
+```bash
+# Send a minimal initialize request, expect a capabilities JSON back.
+echo "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1,\"method\":\"initialize\",\"params\":{\"protocolVersion\":\"2024-11-05\",\"capabilities\":{},\"clientInfo\":{\"name\":\"t\",\"version\":\"1\"}}}" | dexe-mcp
+```
+
+On Windows if the above hangs, try instead:
+
+```bash
+echo {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"t","version":"1"}}} | node "C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\nvm\<version>\node_modules\dexe-mcp\dist\index.js"
+```
+
+A healthy response starts with a single stderr line (`[dexe-mcp] connected on stdio. …`) and a stdout JSON blob containing `"serverInfo":{"name":"dexe-mcp"}`. If you see that, the server is fine and any "failed to connect" from your MCP client is purely a client-side spawn/config problem, not a bug in dexe-mcp.
+
+### 4. Restart your MCP client
+
+On the first build-tool call (e.g. `dexe_compile`), `dexe-mcp` will automatically:
+
+1. Shallow-clone `dexe-network/DeXe-Protocol` into a platform cache directory (~200 MB)
+2. Run `npm install` in that checkout (a few minutes, one time)
+
+The MCP server itself starts instantly — the heavy work is deferred until you actually need it. Cache locations:
+
+| OS | Path |
+|----|------|
+| Windows | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\dexe-mcp\DeXe-Protocol` |
+| macOS | `~/Library/Caches/dexe-mcp/DeXe-Protocol` |
+| Linux | `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/dexe-mcp/DeXe-Protocol` (or `~/.cache/dexe-mcp/DeXe-Protocol`) |
+
+### Advanced: existing DeXe-Protocol checkout
+
+If you already have a DeXe-Protocol clone you want to reuse (and have run `npm install` there at least once), set `DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dexe": {
+      "command": "dexe-mcp",
       "env": {
         "DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH": "/absolute/path/to/your/DeXe-Protocol"
       }

 ```
 
+With this set, dexe-mcp will **not** clone or install anything — it trusts the path you gave it. On Windows, wrap `command` with `cmd /c` as above.
+
+### Dev mode (working on dexe-mcp itself)
+
+Clone this repo, build, and point the MCP command at the local `dist/index.js`:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/edward-arinin-web-dev/dexe-mcp.git

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### "`git` is not on PATH"
+
+Install git from <https://git-scm.com/downloads> and restart your MCP client. Alternatively, clone DeXe-Protocol manually and set `DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH` to skip the clone step entirely.
+
+### "`npm install` failed inside DeXe-Protocol"
+
+Usually means your Node install lacks a bundled `npm` (e.g. a stripped `node.exe` dropped on PATH without the rest of the install). Reinstall Node from <https://nodejs.org> or via nvm / nvm-windows and retry. dexe-mcp invokes npm via `process.execPath` so it uses whichever Node is running it — it does not need `npm` on the spawn PATH.
+
+### "Failed to connect" in Claude Code (Windows)
+
+Run the direct stdio test from the "Verify the install" section first. If that prints a clean `serverInfo` response, the server is fine and the problem is in how your client is spawning it.
+
+The fix is almost always to switch to the **absolute-path** registration:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp remove dexe
+claude mcp add dexe -- "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\nvm\<version>\node_modules\dexe-mcp\dist\index.js"
+```
+
+Bare `dexe-mcp` and `cmd /c dexe-mcp` both rely on shim resolution that Claude Code's `CreateProcess`-based spawn does not always handle. The absolute-path form has zero shim resolution.
+
+### `npm install -g dexe-mcp` reported success but `dexe-mcp` is nowhere to be found
+
+You're almost certainly on a stripped Node install whose `npm` silently no-ops. Check with `npm --version` — if it fails, install Node properly (see Prerequisites). If it prints a version, check `npm root -g` and look inside that directory; the package should be at `<npm-root>/dexe-mcp`.
+
 ### "Hardhat artifacts not found — run dexe_compile first"
 
 Introspection tools require compiled artifacts. Run `dexe_compile` once after the initial setup to populate them.
 
-### "Failed to clone DeXe-Protocol"
+### "DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH=… is missing node_modules"
 
-Make sure `git` is installed and available on your PATH, and that you have internet access. The server clones from `https://github.com/dexe-network/DeXe-Protocol.git`.
+You pointed `DEXE_PROTOCOL_PATH` at a checkout that hasn't been installed yet. `cd` into it and run `npm install` once, then retry.
