New Server Implementation:

server_fastmcp.py - New FastMCP-based server (recommended)
server.py - Legacy server (deprecated, maintained for compatibility)

Migration from v2.3.0

If you're upgrading from v2.3.0, follow these steps:

1. Update Dependencies

# Navigate to repository
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers

# Update package
pip install -e . --upgrade

# Verify MCP SDK version
python3 -c "import mcp; print(mcp.__version__)"
# Should show: 1.25.0 or higher

2. Update Configuration

For Claude Code (no changes required):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"]
    }
  }
}

For HTTP-based agents (Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ):

Old config (v2.3.0 - DEPRECATED):

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp", "--http", "--port", "3000"]
}

New config (v2.4.0+):

# For stdio transport (Claude Code, VS Code + Cline):
{
  "type": "stdio",
  "command": "python3",
  "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"]
}

# For HTTP transport (Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ):
# Run server separately:
# python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --transport http --port 3000
#
# Then configure agent with URL:
{
  "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
}

The HTTP server now runs separately and agents connect via URL instead of spawning the server.

3. Start HTTP Server (if using HTTP agents)

# Start HTTP server on port 3000
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

# Or use custom host/port
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

4. Test Configuration

In any connected agent:

List all available MCP tools

You should see 18 tools (up from 9 in v2.3.0).

5. Optional: Run Auto-Configuration

The easiest way to update all agents:

./setup_mcp.sh

This will:

Detect all installed agents
Configure stdio agents (Claude Code, VS Code + Cline)
Show HTTP server setup instructions for HTTP agents (Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ)

Prerequisites

Required Software

Python 3.10 or higher

python3 --version
# Should show: Python 3.10.x or higher

Quick Start (Recommended)

The fastest way to set up MCP for all detected agents:

1. Run Auto-Configuration Script

# Navigate to repository
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers

# Run setup script
./setup_mcp.sh

2. What the Script Does

Detects Python version - Ensures Python 3.10+
Installs dependencies - Installs MCP SDK v1.25.0, FastMCP, uvicorn
Detects agents - Automatically finds installed AI coding agents
Configures stdio agents - Auto-configures Claude Code and VS Code + Cline
Shows HTTP setup - Provides commands for Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ IDEA

3. Follow On-Screen Instructions

For stdio agents (Claude Code, VS Code + Cline):

Restart the agent
Configuration is automatic

For HTTP agents (Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ):

Start HTTP server: python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000
Add server URL to agent settings (instructions provided by script)
Restart the agent

4. Verify Setup

In your agent:

List all available MCP tools

You should see 17 Skill Seeker tools.

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual setup or the auto-configuration script doesn't work:

Step 1: Install Python Dependencies

# Navigate to repository root
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers

# Install package in editable mode (includes all dependencies)
pip install -e .

# Or install specific dependencies manually
pip install "mcp>=1.25,<2" requests beautifulsoup4 uvicorn

Expected output:

Successfully installed mcp-1.25.0 fastmcp-... uvicorn-... requests-2.31.0 beautifulsoup4-4.12.3

Step 2: Verify Installation

# Test stdio mode
timeout 3 python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp || echo "Server OK (timeout expected)"

# Test HTTP mode
python3 -c "import uvicorn; print('HTTP support available')"

Step 3: Note Your Repository Path

# Get absolute path
pwd

# Example output: /Users/username/Projects/Skill_Seekers

Transport Modes

stdio Transport (Default)

How it works:

Agent spawns MCP server as subprocess
Communication via stdin/stdout
Server lifecycle managed by agent

Advantages:

Automatic process management
No port conflicts
Zero configuration after setup

Supported Agents:

Claude Code
VS Code + Cline

Usage:

{
  "command": "python",
  "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"]
}

No additional steps needed - agent handles everything.

HTTP Transport (New)

How it works:

MCP server runs as HTTP server
Agents connect via SSE (Server-Sent Events)
Single server can support multiple agents

Advantages:

Multiple agents can share one server
Easier debugging (can test with curl)
Production-ready with uvicorn

Supported Agents:

Cursor
Windsurf
IntelliJ IDEA

Usage:

Step 1: Start HTTP Server

# Default (port 8000)
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http

# Custom port
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

# Custom host and port
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

# Debug mode
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --log-level DEBUG

Step 2: Configure Agent

{
  "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
}

Step 3: Test Endpoints

# Health check
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# Returns: {"status": "ok"}

# SSE endpoint (agent connects here)
curl http://localhost:8000/sse
# Returns SSE stream

Troubleshooting

Issue: MCP Server Not Loading

Symptoms:

Skill Seeker tools don't appear in agent
No response when asking about configs

Solutions:

Check configuration file exists:

# Claude Code
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/mcp.json

# Cursor
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/mcp_settings.json

Verify Python path:

which python3
# Should show: /usr/bin/python3 or similar

Test server manually:

For stdio:

timeout 3 python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp
# Should exit cleanly or timeout (both OK)

For HTTP:

python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 8000
# Should show: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000

Check agent logs:

Claude Code:
- macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/
- Linux: ~/.config/claude-code/logs/
Cursor:
- macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Cursor/
- Linux: ~/.cursor/logs/
Completely restart agent:
- Quit agent (don't just close window)
- Kill any background processes: pkill -f skill_seekers
- Reopen agent

Issue: "skill-seeker · ✘ failed" Connection Error

Symptoms:

MCP server shows as "failed" when running /mcp in Claude Code
Cannot access Skill Seeker tools
Error: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'skill_seekers'"

Solution 1: Install Package and MCP Dependencies

# Navigate to Skill Seekers directory
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers

# Install package with MCP dependencies
pip3 install -e ".[mcp]"

Solution 2: Fix ~/.claude.json Configuration

Common configuration problems:

Using python instead of python3 (doesn't exist on macOS)
Missing "type": "stdio" field
Missing "cwd" field for proper working directory
Using deprecated server instead of server_fastmcp

Correct configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "python3",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"
      ],
      "cwd": "/full/path/to/Skill_Seekers",
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Verify Installation:

# Test module import
python3 -c "from skill_seekers.mcp import server_fastmcp; print('✓ Module OK')"

# Test server startup
cd /path/to/Skill_Seekers
python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp
# Should start without errors (Ctrl+C to stop)

Validate JSON Configuration:

# Check JSON syntax
python3 -m json.tool < ~/.claude.json > /dev/null && echo "✓ JSON valid"

Restart Claude Code:

After fixing configuration:

Quit Claude Code completely (don't just close window)
Kill any background processes: pkill -f skill_seekers
Reopen Claude Code
Test with /mcp command

Issue: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp'"

Solution:

# Install package
pip install -e .

# Or install dependencies manually
pip install "mcp>=1.25,<2" requests beautifulsoup4 uvicorn

Verify installation:

python3 -c "import mcp; print(mcp.__version__)"
# Should show: 1.25.0 or higher

Issue: HTTP Server Not Starting

Symptoms:

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http fails
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uvicorn'"

Solution:

# Install uvicorn
pip install uvicorn

# Or install with extras
pip install -e ".[mcp]"

Verify uvicorn:

python3 -c "import uvicorn; print('OK')"

Issue: Port Already in Use

Symptoms:

"Address already in use" when starting HTTP server

Solution:

# Find process using port
lsof -i :8000

# Kill process
kill -9 <PID>

# Or use different port
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 8001

Issue: Tools Appear But Don't Work

Symptoms:

Tools listed but commands fail
"Error executing tool" messages

Solutions:

Check working directory:

For stdio agents, ensure package is installed:
```
pip install -e .
```

Verify CLI tools exist:

python3 -m skill_seekers.cli.doc_scraper --help
python3 -m skill_seekers.cli.package_skill --help

Test tool directly:

# Test in Python
python3 -c "from skill_seekers.mcp.tools import list_configs_impl; print('OK')"

Check HTTP server logs (if using HTTP transport):

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --log-level DEBUG

Issue: Agent Can't Connect to HTTP Server

Symptoms:

Agent shows connection error
curl to /health fails

Solutions:

Verify server is running:

curl http://localhost:8000/health
# Should return: {"status": "ok"}

Check firewall:

# macOS
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate

# Linux
sudo ufw status

Test with different host:

# Try 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --host 0.0.0.0

Check agent config URL:

{
  "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"  // Not /health!
}

Issue: Slow or Hanging Operations

Solutions:

Check rate limit in config:
- Default: 0.5 seconds
- Increase if needed: 1.0 or 2.0 seconds

Use smaller max_pages for testing:

Generate config with max_pages=20 for testing

Check network connection:
```
curl -I https://docs.example.com
```

Enable debug logging:

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --log-level DEBUG

Create /etc/systemd/system/skill-seeker-mcp.service:

[Unit]
Description=Skill Seeker MCP HTTP Server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=yourusername
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/Skill_Seekers
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 8000
Restart=on-failure
Environment="ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-..."

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable and start:

sudo systemctl enable skill-seeker-mcp
sudo systemctl start skill-seeker-mcp
sudo systemctl status skill-seeker-mcp

macOS (launchd):

Create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.skillseeker.mcp.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.skillseeker.mcp</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/local/bin/python3</string>
        <string>-m</string>
        <string>skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp</string>
        <string>--http</string>
        <string>--port</string>
        <string>8000</string>
    </array>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/path/to/Skill_Seekers</string>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/skill-seeker-mcp.log</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/skill-seeker-mcp.error.log</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Load:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.skillseeker.mcp.plist
launchctl start com.skillseeker.mcp

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:

stdio transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "-u",
        "-m",
        "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DEBUG": "1"
      }
    }
  }
}

HTTP transport:

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --log-level DEBUG

Complete Example Configurations

Minimal (Recommended for Most Users)

Claude Code (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor (HTTP):

Start server:

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

Config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
    }
  }
}

With API Keys and Custom Tokens

Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-your-key-here",
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

HTTP Server:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key-here
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your-token-here
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

Multiple Agents Sharing HTTP Server

Start one HTTP server:

python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 8000

Configure all HTTP agents to use it:

Cursor (~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf (~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skill-seeker": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
    }
  }
}

IntelliJ (~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2024.3/mcp.xml):

<component name="MCPSettings">
  <servers>
    <server>
      <name>skill-seeker</name>
      <url>http://localhost:8000/sse</url>
    </server>
  </servers>
</component>

All three agents now share the same MCP server instance!

End-to-End Workflow

Complete Setup and First Skill

# 1. Install from source
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers.git
cd Skill_Seekers

# 2. Run auto-configuration
./setup_mcp.sh

# 3. Follow prompts
# - Installs dependencies
# - Detects agents
# - Configures automatically

# 4. For HTTP agents, start server
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

# 5. Restart your AI coding agent

# 6. Test in agent:

In your agent:

User: List all available configs
User: Scrape docs using configs/react.json with max 50 pages
User: Package skill at output/react/

Result: output/react.zip ready to upload!

Next Steps

After successful setup:

Try preset configs:
- React: scrape docs using configs/react.json
- Vue: scrape docs using configs/vue.json
- Django: scrape docs using configs/django.json
Create custom configs:
- generate config for [framework] at [url]
Set up private config sources:
- add config source "team" with git URL https://github.com/myorg/configs.git
Test with small limits first:
- Use max_pages parameter: scrape docs using configs/test.json with max 20 pages
Explore enhancement:
- Use --enhance-local flag for AI-powered SKILL.md improvement

SETUP:
1. Install: pip install -e .
2. Configure: ./setup_mcp.sh
3. Restart agent

VERIFY:
- "List all available MCP tools" (should show 18 tools)
- "List all available configs" (should show 24 configs)

GENERATE SKILL:
1. "Generate config for [name] at [url]"
2. "Estimate pages for configs/[name].json"
3. "Scrape docs using configs/[name].json"
4. "Package skill at output/[name]/"

PRIVATE CONFIGS:
1. "Add config source [name] with git URL [url]"
2. "List config sources"
3. "Fetch config [name] from [source]"

TRANSPORT MODES:
- stdio: Claude Code, VS Code + Cline (automatic)
- HTTP: Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ (requires server)

START HTTP SERVER:
python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp --http --port 3000

TROUBLESHOOTING:
- Check: cat ~/.config/claude-code/mcp.json
- Test stdio: timeout 3 python -m skill_seekers.mcp.server_fastmcp
- Test HTTP: curl http://localhost:8000/health
- Logs (Claude Code): ~/Library/Logs/Claude/
- Kill servers: pkill -f skill_seekers
