3. Test from host: ssh SupportUser@192.168.100.10

To create VM snapshots:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Follow VM-SNAPSHOT-GUIDE.md

Quick Start Commands

Test Setup

cd C:\Users\270015376\Documents\github\flask-shopdb

Start Development

cd C:\Users\270015376\Documents\github\flask-shopdb
docker compose up -d db    # Start database (if needed)
claude                      # Start Claude Code with MCP servers

Test MCP Servers with Claude

"List all tasks in the current project"          # Gortex
"Show me the endpoints table schema"             # MySQL
"Take a screenshot of https://localhost:5001"    # Browser
"What is the hostname of the VM?"                # VM

Recommended Reading Order

First time setup:

1. Read INDEX-MCP-DOCS.md (this is the master index)
2. Read README-MCP-SETUP.md (quick reference)
3. Run quick-start-mcp.ps1 (automated setup)
4. Run test-mcp-servers.ps1 (verify setup)
5. Read VM-SNAPSHOT-GUIDE.md (if using VM)
6. Read MCP-INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md (learn workflows)

Daily usage:

1. Run test-mcp-servers.ps1 (verify everything ready)
2. Start Claude Code from flask-shopdb directory
3. Reference README-MCP-SETUP.md for troubleshooting

Example Workflows Documented

Database Development

• Add field to table
• Create migration
• Verify with MySQL MCP
• Test on VM

UI Testing

• Build frontend
• Create test data in database
• Test UI with browser automation
• Screenshot results
• Clean up test data

Agent Testing

• Build agent
• Deploy to VM via SSH
• Verify agent connects
• Check logs
• Test fleet alerts end-to-end

Debugging

• Query database for issue
• Check agent logs on VM
• Test API endpoints
• Screenshot UI state
• Identify root cause

See MCP-INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md for detailed workflow examples.

Snapshot Strategy (Recommended)

Baseline snapshots to create:

# After clean Windows 11 install
Checkpoint-VM -Name "ShopDB-Test-VM" -SnapshotName "Clean-Install"

# After Docker Desktop installed
Checkpoint-VM -Name "ShopDB-Test-VM" -SnapshotName "Docker-Ready"

# After SSH enabled
Checkpoint-VM -Name "ShopDB-Test-VM" -SnapshotName "SSH-Enabled"

# After ShopDB deployed
Checkpoint-VM -Name "ShopDB-Test-VM" -SnapshotName "ShopDB-Deployed"

Testing snapshots (create as needed):

# Before risky operations
Checkpoint-VM -Name "ShopDB-Test-VM" -SnapshotName "Before-$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd-HHmm')"

See complete guide: VM-SNAPSHOT-GUIDE.md

Security Notes

Development Credentials (Local Only)

Database:

• User: shopdb
• Password: shopdb-dev-password
• Host: 127.0.0.1:3306
• Database: shopdb_flask
• Scope: Localhost only, not exposed beyond local machine

VM SSH:

• User: SupportUser
• Password: vos313
• Host: 192.168.100.10 (internal network only)
• Scope: Test VM on isolated internal network, no internet access

Production Differences

• Environment variables for credentials
• Encrypted connections
• Restricted database users
• No MCP servers in production
• No plain-text passwords

Integration with Claude Code

How MCP Servers Load

Automatic: When you run claude from the flask-shopdb directory, Claude Code:

1. Looks for .claude/mcp-servers.json
2. Starts each configured MCP server
3. Makes their tools available to Claude
4. You can use them through natural language

Manual: To use MCP in different directory:

• Copy mcp-servers.json to that directory's .claude/ folder
• Or run Claude Code from flask-shopdb directory

Permission Model

First use of each MCP tool:

• Claude Code shows permission prompt
• Review the operation (query, command, etc.)
• Approve or deny

After approval:

• Operation executes
• Similar operations may also require approval
• Dangerous operations always require approval

Configure auto-approval: Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__mysql__query(SELECT *)",
      "mcp__vm__exec(hostname)"
    ]
  }
}

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Issue	Fix
MySQL not reachable	docker compose up -d db
VM not reachable	Start VM in Hyper-V Manager
SSH connection refused	Run enable-vm-ssh.ps1 on VM
MCP servers not loading	Restart Claude Code from flask-shopdb directory
Browser automation failed	Close other Chrome instances
Gortex not found	Run quick-start-mcp.ps1

Full troubleshooting: README-MCP-SETUP.md -> Troubleshooting section

---

Next Steps

Immediate

1. Start MySQL database:

   docker compose up -d db
   

2. Test without VM (optional):

   .\\.claude\test-mcp-servers.ps1 -SkipVM
   

3. Start Claude Code:

   claude
   

When Ready for VM Testing

1. Start VM in Hyper-V Manager
2. Run on VM as Admin: .\\.claude\enable-vm-ssh.ps1
3. Test SSH: ssh SupportUser@192.168.100.10
4. Create baseline snapshots (see VM-SNAPSHOT-GUIDE.md)
5. Run full test: .\\.claude\test-mcp-servers.ps1

Learning Phase

1. Read MCP-INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md
2. Try example workflows with Claude
3. Experiment with combining MCP tools
4. Build your own workflows
