🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• PowerShell (for scripts)
• .NET 9.0 SDK (optional, for local development)

Option 1: Interactive Setup (Recommended)

cd ProtectedMcpServer
.\start-server.ps1 -Interactive

This script will:

• ✅ Ask you to choose Docker or Local deployment
• ✅ Let you specify a custom port (for local development)
• ✅ Create .env file with secure JWT secret
• ✅ Start the server with your configuration
• ✅ Generate your JWT token
• ✅ Run health checks

Option 2: Quick Setup with Custom Port

# Start local server on custom port
.\start-server.ps1 -Local -Port 8080

# Start Docker container (always port 7071)
.\start-server.ps1 -Docker

Option 3: Manual Setup

1. Create Environment File

# Copy template and generate secure JWT secret
Copy-Item env.example.txt .env

# Edit .env file and set a strong JWT_SECRET (32+ characters)
# Or use PowerShell to generate one:
$jwtSecret = [Convert]::ToBase64String((1..32 | ForEach-Object { Get-Random -Maximum 256 }))
(Get-Content .env) -replace 'JWT_SECRET=.*', "JWT_SECRET=$jwtSecret" | Set-Content .env

2. Start the Server

# Docker (Recommended)
docker-compose up -d

# OR Local development
$env:JWT_SECRET = (Get-Content .env | Where-Object { $_ -match '^JWT_SECRET=' } | ForEach-Object { ($_ -split '=',2)[1] })
dotnet run

3. Test Everything

# Test Docker container (recommended)
.\test-mcp-server.ps1 -Docker

# OR Test local server on default port
.\test-mcp-server.ps1 -Local

# OR Test local server on custom port
.\test-mcp-server.ps1 -Local -Port 8080

# OR Test custom server
.\test-mcp-server.ps1 -Server "http://localhost:8080"

Expected: All tests passing ✅

🎉 That's it! Your server is ready with sample data for 2 users.
