Current Status
Test Results: 4/7 Passing (57%)
[X] gortex - Project management ready
[X] mysql - Database running (MySQL 8.4.11)
[X] browser - Web automation ready
[X] config - 5 MCP servers configured
[ ] vm - VM not started (optional)
[i] hyperv - No Hyper-V cmdlet access (GUI works)
[i] snapshots - No cmdlet access (GUI works)
What's Working Right Now
Database:
- MySQL 8.4.11 running in Docker
- 18+ tables available
- Connection verified
MCP Servers:
- Gortex installed and ready
- MySQL MCP configured and tested
- Browser MCP packages available
- VM MCP configured (2 users)
Services:
- Docker Desktop running
- Database healthy and accessible
- All npm packages verified
MCP Server Configuration
1. Gortex (Project Management)
- Command: C:\Users\270015376\Documents\gortex.exe mcp
- Use: "List all tasks in the current project"
2. MySQL (Database)
- Connection: mysql://shopdb:shopdb-dev-password@127.0.0.1:3306/shopdb_flask
- Use: "Show me the endpoints table schema"
3. Browser (Web Automation)
- Package: @agent-infra/mcp-server-browser v1.2.29
- Use: "Take a screenshot of https://localhost:5001"
4. VM - SupportUser (Admin)
- Connection: SSH to 192.168.100.10 as SupportUser
- Use: "Install agent on VM"
5. VM - shopfloor (Standard User)
- Connection: SSH to 192.168.100.10 as shopfloor
- Use: "Test tray as shopfloor user"
VM Configuration (SFTest)
Network
- IP: 192.168.100.10
- Subnet: 192.168.100.x (internal only)
- Host IP: 192.168.100.1
User Accounts
SupportUser (Administrator)
- Password: vos313
- Purpose: Installation and configuration
- MCP:
vm
shopfloor (Standard User)
- Password: vos313
- Auto-login: Yes (logs in automatically on boot)
- Purpose: Realistic endpoint testing
- MCP:
vm-shopfloor
Why Two Users?
Matches production deployment:
- IT installs agent as admin (SupportUser)
- Users run tray as standard user (shopfloor)
- Tests realistic permissions and behavior
Hyper-V Permissions Clarified
You Are NOT in "Hyper-V Administrators" Group
What still works:
- VM MCP (uses SSH, not Hyper-V API)
- Hyper-V Manager GUI (all features)
- Start/stop VMs via GUI
- Create/restore snapshots via GUI
- Connect to VM console
What doesn't work:
- PowerShell Hyper-V cmdlets (Get-VM, Checkpoint-VM, etc.)
- Scripted snapshot automation
- Automated VM status checks
Impact: None for daily development. Only affects PowerShell automation.
To get group access: Ask IT admin to run:
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Hyper-V Administrators" -Member "270015376"
How to Use
Start Development Session
# 1. Navigate to repository
cd C:\Users\270015376\Documents\github\flask-shopdb
# 2. Verify setup (optional)
.\\.claude\test-mcp-servers.ps1
# 3. Start Claude Code
claude
MCP servers load automatically when you start Claude Code from flask-shopdb directory.
Test MCP Servers
"List all tasks in the current project"
-> Tests Gortex
"Show me the first 5 endpoints in the database"
-> Tests MySQL
"What tables exist in the database?"
-> Tests MySQL schema
"Take a screenshot of https://localhost:5001"
-> Tests Browser (requires ShopDB running)
"What is the hostname of the VM?"
-> Tests VM SSH (requires VM running)
Example Workflows
1. Database Development
You: "Add last_boot_time field to endpoints table"
Claude:
1. [MySQL: Check current schema]
2. [Edit: Create migration]
3. [Bash: Run migration]
4. [MySQL: Verify field added]
5. [MySQL: Test with sample data]
2. UI Testing
You: "Test the notifications plugin"
Claude:
1. [Bash: Build frontend]
2. [Bash: Restart Docker]
3. [Browser: Navigate to /notifications]
4. [MySQL: Insert test alert]
5. [Browser: Refresh and screenshot]
6. [MySQL: Clean up test data]
3. Agent Deployment (VM Required)
You: "Deploy agent to VM and test"
Claude:
1. [Bash: Build agent]
2. [vm (SupportUser): Copy to VM]
3. [vm (SupportUser): Install service]
4. [vm (SupportUser): Start service]
5. [MySQL: Create test alert]
6. [vm-shopfloor: Check tray notification]
7. [MySQL: Verify alert delivered]

Next Steps
Immediate (Ready Now)
-
Start using MCP servers:
cd flask-shopdb claude -
Try example commands:
- "List all tasks"
- "Show me the database tables"
- "What endpoints are in the database?"
-
Read integration guide:
cat .claude/MCP-INTEGRATION-GUIDE.md
When Ready for VM Testing
-
Start VM:
- Open Hyper-V Manager
- Right-click SFTest VM -> Start
- Wait for boot (shopfloor auto-logs in)
-
Verify SSH:
ssh SupportUser@192.168.100.10 "hostname" ssh shopfloor@192.168.100.10 "whoami" -
Create baseline snapshots:
- Right-click VM -> Checkpoint
- Create "Clean-Install", "Agent-Installed", etc.
- See
VM-SNAPSHOT-GUIDE.md
-
Re-run tests:
.\\.claude\test-mcp-servers.ps1

- Memory preserved (setup saved for future sessions)
Summary
What works now:
- 3 MCP servers active (gortex, mysql, browser)
