Step-by-Step Guide

Phase 1: Discovery and Inventory (5 minutes)

Step 1.1: Platform-Specific Discovery

MCP Manager scans each platform for MCP servers:

# Claude Code discovery
./scripts/discover-claude.sh

# Factory Droid discovery
./scripts/discover-factory.sh

# Antigravity discovery
./scripts/discover-antigravity.sh

# Gemini discovery
./scripts/discover-gemini.sh

Step 1.2: Server Classification

Each discovered server is classified by:

• Type: Database, API, File system, AI model, Custom
• Complexity: Simple, Intermediate, Advanced
• Dependencies: Required services and libraries
• Security Level: Public, Private, Sensitive

Step 1.3: Inventory Generation

# Generate comprehensive inventory
./scripts/generate-inventory.sh

# Outputs to `resources/inventory/`:
# - server-list.csv: Complete server catalog
# - dependency-graph.json: Server dependency mapping
# - platform-matrix.md: Cross-platform compatibility
# - security-scan.md: Security assessment report

Phase 2: Health Monitoring Setup (3 minutes)

Step 2.1: Health Check Configuration

# Setup health monitoring for all servers
./scripts/setup-monitoring.sh

# Monitors:
# - Server availability and response times

Step 2.2: Quality Scoring System

MCP Manager calculates quality scores based on:

• Performance: Response times and throughput
• Reliability: Uptime and error rates
• Security: Authentication, encryption, access controls
• Documentation: API docs, examples, README quality
• Maintenance: Update frequency and issue resolution

Step 2.3: Alert Configuration

# Configure real-time alerts
./scripts/setup-alerts.sh

# Alert channels:
# - Email notifications for critical issues
# - Slack integration for team notifications
# - Webhook calls for automated responses
# - Dashboard updates for visual monitoring

Phase 3: Continuous Monitoring (Ongoing)

Step 3.1: Real-Time Health Checks

# Start continuous monitoring
./scripts/monitor-continuous.sh

# Checks performed every 60 seconds:
# - Server ping and response validation
# - API endpoint functionality testing
# - Database connectivity and query performance
# - File system access and permissions
# - Authentication token validation
# - Rate limit and quota monitoring

Step 3.2: Performance Metrics Collection

# Collect detailed performance data
./scripts/collect-metrics.sh

# Metrics gathered:
# - Response time distributions
# - Request success/error rates
# - Concurrent connection limits
# - Memory and CPU usage patterns
# - Network latency and bandwidth
# - Database query performance

Step 3.3: Automated Reporting

# Generate automated reports
./scripts/generate-reports.sh --daily

# Report types:
# - Daily health summary
# - Weekly performance trends
# - Monthly quality assessments
# - Quarterly security audits
# - Custom ad-hoc reports

Phase 4: Troubleshooting and Maintenance (10 minutes)

Step 4.1: Automated Diagnosis

# Diagnose server issues automatically
./scripts/diagnose.sh --server server-name

# Diagnosis capabilities:
# - Configuration validation
# - Dependency checking
# - Network connectivity testing
# - Authentication troubleshooting
# - Performance bottleneck identification
# - Log analysis for error patterns

Step 4.2: Automated Repair

# Attempt automated repairs
./scripts/auto-repair.sh --server server-name

# Repairs performed:
# - Configuration file corrections
# - Dependency installation and updates
# - Permission fixes
# - Service restart and recovery
# - Cache clearing and cleanup
# - SSL certificate renewal

Step 4.3: Maintenance Scheduling

# Schedule regular maintenance
./scripts/schedule-maintenance.sh

# Maintenance tasks:
# - Security updates and patches
# - Performance optimizations
# - Log rotation and cleanup
# - Backup creation and verification
# - Documentation updates

2. Verify file permissions and access rights
3. Run ./scripts/debug-discovery.sh for detailed diagnosis
4. Add custom server locations manually to configuration

Issue: False Positives in Health Monitoring

Symptoms: Healthy servers flagged as unhealthy Solution:

1. Adjust performance thresholds in configuration
2. Review timeout settings for slower servers
3. Exclude intermittent issues from alerting
4. Implement grace periods for temporary failures

Issue: Cross-Platform Authentication Errors

Symptoms: Authentication fails when synchronizing platforms Solution:

1. Verify authentication tokens are current
2. Check platform-specific API access permissions
3. Review token expiration and renewal policies
4. Use ./scripts/refresh-auth.sh to update credentials
