Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

npm install

2. Set Up Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration

3. Build All Services

npm run build

4. Run Development Environment

# Run all services
npm run dev

# Or run individual services
npm run dev:frontend
npm run dev:backend
npm run dev:deafauth
npm run dev:pinksync
npm run dev:fibonrose
npm run dev:a11y

MCP Server Usage

Running MCP Servers

Each service can be run as an MCP server:

# Build first
npm run build

# Run individual MCP servers
npm run mcp --workspace=services/deafauth
npm run mcp --workspace=services/pinksync
npm run mcp --workspace=services/fibonrose
npm run mcp --workspace=services/accessibility-nodes
npm run mcp --workspace=ai

Testing MCP Servers

Use the included test script:

node test-mcp.mjs services/deafauth/dist/mcp-server.js
node test-mcp.mjs services/pinksync/dist/mcp-server.js
node test-mcp.mjs services/fibonrose/dist/mcp-server.js
node test-mcp.mjs services/accessibility-nodes/dist/mcp-server.js
node test-mcp.mjs ai/dist/mcp-server.js

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
