# MCP Server Installation Instructions for Visual Studio Code

## Prerequisites
- Visual Studio Code (Version 1.75 or later)
- Node.js (Version 16 or later)
- Git installed and configured

## Installation Steps
1. **Clone the MCP Repository**
   - Open a terminal in VS Code
   - Run: `git clone https://github.com/mcp/mcp-server.git`
   - Navigate to the cloned directory: `cd mcp-server`

2. **Install Dependencies**
   - Run: `npm install`
   - If you encounter permission issues, use: `sudo npm install` (Linux/Mac)

3. **Configure the Server**
   - Open the `config.json` file
   - Update the following settings:
     - `server.port`: Set to your desired port (e.g., 3000)
     - `database.connectionString`: Enter your database connection string

4. **Start the Server**
   - Run: `npm start`
   - The server should now be running on `http://localhost:[PORT]`

## Troubleshooting
- **Error: Port already in use**
  - Change the port in `config.json` and restart the server.
- **Error: Database connection failed**
  - Verify your connection string and ensure the database is running.
- **Error: Missing dependencies**
  - Run `npm install` again to ensure all dependencies are installed.
