Development Commands

| Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | npm run build | Compile the TypeScript server | | npm run e2e:stdio | Run the MCP smoke suite against the local stdio server | | npm run e2e:http | Run the MCP smoke suite against an HTTP endpoint | | npm run dev:http | Start the local HTTP development server | | npm run sync:html | Sync public/index.html into the Vercel landing page handler |

Architecture

Shared server logic lives in src/shared/*, including the API client, formatting, tool definitions, and resource registration. The two entrypoints are intentionally thin transport wrappers:

• src/index.ts for local stdio usage
• api/mcp.ts for hosted HTTP usage

This keeps stdio and HTTP behavior aligned while supporting both local and remote MCP clients.

Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |----------|---------|-------------| | TICKADOO_API_BASE | https://api.tickadoo.com | tickadoo API base URL | | TICKADOO_LOG_LEVEL | info | Logging verbosity: none, info, or debug | | TICKADOO_SITE_BASE | https://www.tickadoo.com | tickadoo website base URL |
