This MCP server focuses on managing posts and articles. The server exposes endpoints to create, read, update, and delete posts, as well as listing articles with optional filtering by tags, author, or publication date. Use the provided tooling to interact with the posts data, publish new entries, edit existing ones, and fetch content for display in client applications. The server is designed to be lightweight and easy to integrate with frontend apps or other MCP services that consume post data.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (version 14+ recommended)
• npm or pnpm
• Git (optional, for cloning repositories)

Basic installation steps:

1. Clone or download the repository: git clone https://github.com/cafe3310/cafe3310-posts.git cd cafe3310-posts

2. Install dependencies: npm install

   or if you prefer yarn

   yarn install

3. Configure environment (optional):

   • Create a .env file if the server supports environment overrides.
   • Common options include PORT, DATABASE_URL, and any API keys required by plugins.

4. Run the server: npm run start

   or if a direct node script is provided

   node server.js

5. Verify it's running: curl http://localhost:3000/posts

Notes:

• If the project provides a Dockerfile, you can also run via docker build/run.
• Refer to any README for project-specific setup (database migrations, seed data, etc.).

Tips and common issues:

• Ensure the PORT you configure is not in use by another process.
• If you encounter EADDRINUSE, stop the conflicting process or change the port.
• Check for required environment variables like DATABASE_URL or API keys; missing values may cause startup failures.
• When migrating data, back up the database first.
• If endpoints return authentication errors, verify token or session configuration in the environment.
• For local development, consider using a .env file and a node version manager (nvm) to lock Node.js versions.
