+# Quick Start Guide
+
+This guide will help you set up Quickbase MCP Server and start using it with Claude within minutes.
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+- Claude Desktop or Claude Code
+- Node.js 18+ and npm
+- Quickbase account with API access
+- Valid Quickbase user token
+
+## 🚀 Quick Setup (Recommended)
+
+The automatic setup handles everything for you:
+
+```bash
+# Download and run the setup script
+curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danielbushman/MCP-Quickbase/main/auto_setup.sh | bash
+
+# Configure your Quickbase credentials
+cd ~/MCP-Quickbase
+./configure.sh
+```
+
+The configure script will:
+1. Ask for your Quickbase realm, token, and app ID
+2. Create the necessary configuration for Claude
+3. Build and prepare the connector
+
+## 🔧 Manual Setup
+
+If you prefer to handle the setup yourself:
+
+### Step 1: Clone and Install
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/danielbushman/MCP-Quickbase.git
+cd MCP-Quickbase
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Build the project
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Environment
+
+Create a `.env` file in the project root directory:
+
+```env
+QUICKBASE_REALM_HOST=your-realm.quickbase.com
+QUICKBASE_USER_TOKEN=your_user_token_here
+QUICKBASE_APP_ID=your_app_id_here
+QUICKBASE_CACHE_ENABLED=true
+QUICKBASE_CACHE_TTL=3600
+DEBUG=false
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test the Setup
+
+```bash
+# Test the connection
+npm start
+```
+
+## 🔗 Connecting to Claude
+
+### Method 1: Using NPM Package (Recommended)
+
+After the package is published to npm, users can configure Claude Desktop:
+
+1. Find your Claude Desktop config location:
+   - **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+   - **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
+   - **Linux**: `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
+
+2. Add the configuration using npx (no installation required):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "quickbase": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "mcp-quickbase"],
+      "env": {
+        "QUICKBASE_REALM_HOST": "your-realm.quickbase.com",
+        "QUICKBASE_USER_TOKEN": "your-token",
+        "QUICKBASE_APP_ID": "your-app-id"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. Restart Claude Desktop
+
+### Method 2: Local Installation
+
+For development or if you've cloned the repository:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "quickbase": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/MCP-Quickbase/dist/mcp-stdio-server.js"],
+      "env": {
+        "QUICKBASE_REALM_HOST": "your-realm.quickbase.com",
+        "QUICKBASE_USER_TOKEN": "your-token",
+        "QUICKBASE_APP_ID": "your-app-id"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## ✅ Testing the Connection
+
+1. Start a conversation with Claude
+2. Ask it to test the Quickbase connection:
+
+```
+Can you test my Quickbase connection?
+```
+
+Claude should respond with connection status and user information.
+
+## 🛠️ Example Commands
+
+Here are some examples of what you can ask Claude to do:
+
+### Basic Operations
+- "List all tables in my Quickbase app"
+- "Show me the fields in the Customers table"
+- "Test my Quickbase connection"
+
+### Record Operations
+- "Create a new project record with the name 'Website Redesign'"
+- "Find all customer records created in the last month"
+- "Update record ID 123 in the Projects table"
+
+### Data Analysis
+- "Run my 'Overdue Tasks' report and summarize the results"
+- "Show me all high-priority items"
+- "Count the total number of open projects"
+
+### File Operations
+- "Upload this document to record ID 456"
+- "Download the attachment from record ID 789"
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Connection Failed**
+   - Verify your Quickbase credentials in the .env file
+   - Ensure your user token has the required permissions
+   - Check that your realm hostname is correct
+
+2. **Permission Errors**
+   - Confirm your user token has access to the specified app
+   - Verify you have read/write permissions for the tables you're accessing
+
+3. **Path Issues**
+   - Use absolute paths in Claude configuration
+   - Ensure the built files exist in `dist/`
+
+4. **Claude Not Recognizing Tools**
+   - Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
+   - Check Claude logs for connection errors
+   - Verify the JSON configuration syntax
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging for detailed troubleshooting:
+
+```env
+DEBUG=true
+LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+```

+  
+  if (requiredProps && Array.isArray(requiredProps)) {
+    for (const prop of requiredProps) {
+      if (!(params as any)[prop]) {
+        throw new Error(`Missing required parameter: ${prop}`);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+

+  if (typeof data === 'string') {
+    return data.replace(/QB-USER-TOKEN\s+\w+/g, 'QB-USER-TOKEN [REDACTED]');
+  }
+  // Additional redaction logic...
+}
+```
+
+**No vulnerabilities found.**
+
+### 4. Network Security - **SECURE** ✅
+
+**Strengths:**

+  error: {
+    message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
+    type: error instanceof Error ? error.name : 'UnknownError'
+    // No sensitive details exposed
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**No vulnerabilities found.**
+
+### 6. Dependencies - **SECURE** ✅

+- `cors` - Standard CORS handling
+
+**No vulnerable dependencies found.**
+
+### 7. Configuration Security - **SECURE** ✅
+
+**Strengths:**
+- ✅ **Environment variables** - All sensitive config externalized
+- ✅ **No default secrets** - No hardcoded fallback credentials
+- ✅ **Validation on startup** - Configuration validated before operation

+
+- "Export all customer data to a report and upload the summary to the management record"
+  - Uses: `query_records` → `run_report` → `upload_file`
+
+- "Create a new project table, add standard fields, and import initial data"
+  - Uses: `create_table` → `create_field` (multiple) → `bulk_create_records`
+
+## 💡 Best Practices
+
+### For Optimal Performance:
+1. **Be specific**: Use exact table and field names when known
+2. **Use bulk operations**: For multiple records, use bulk tools instead of individual operations
+3. **Filter wisely**: Use specific criteria to limit data retrieval
+4. **Leverage caching**: Enable caching for repeated operations
+5. **Paginate large datasets**: Use pagination for tables with many records
+
+### Query Syntax Tips:
+- Use Quickbase query syntax: `{field_id.operator.'value'}`
+- Examples: `{6.CT.'Project'}`, `{8.GT.'2024-01-01'}`, `{10.EX.'Active'}`
+- Combine conditions: `{6.CT.'Project'} AND {8.GT.'2024-01-01'}`
+
+### Common Field Types:
+- Text fields: Use `CT` (contains), `EX` (equals)
+- Number fields: Use `GT` (greater than), `LT` (less than), `EQ` (equals)
+- Date fields: Use date format `YYYY-MM-DD`
