1. Clone the repository and open it in VSCode.

    git clone https://github.com/racho8/ravi-mcp-server.git
    cd <repository_name>
    code .
   

2. Setup Configuration Files

   Copy mcp.json and payload.json from docs/configuration to a new folder called .vscode in your repository.

   mkdir .vscode
   cp docs/configuration/mcp.json .vscode/
   cp docs/configuration/payload.json .vscode/
   

3. Start the MCP Server

   Start the ravi-mcp-server by clicking the start button in the mcp.json file in vscode.

   Note: Sometime, it might show as Error next to the server, but it still works.

4. Export GCP Authentication Token (Very Important, otherwise it won't work)

   Run the following command to export your GCP authentication token.

   export gcp_auth_token=$(gcloud auth print-identity-token)
   

   Note: Ensure your account has the Cloud Run Invoker role (contact the repository owner if unsure).

• Test with GitHub Copilot Chat in Agent Mode

  Open GitHub Copilot chat in agent mode and test with the following natural language commands:

Use the remote ravi-mcp-server endpoint in mcp.json to list all tools by sending a tools/list request. Then you can fire nlp querries like:

   - show me all the available tools
   - Show all the products
   - List all products under Electronics category
   - Increment the price of all the products under Electronics category by 2%
   - Round up the price of all the products under Laptops segment to nearest 100

The agent should automatically generate and execute the corresponding cURL requests in the background and display the results.

• Hack(Optional): If the agent asks you to run the cURL command everytime you give ask a question, you can give below prompt to bypass it:

  Prompt: Automatically generate and execute the required cURL requests in the background for any command I provide related to ravi-mcp-server. Display the results directly in plain text format, structured as well-organized tables or lists for better readability. Do not ask for approval before executing each and every cURL command.
