git clone https://github.com/ibproduct/ib-api-doc.git
cd ib-api-doc
npm install

2. Configure development server:

• Create a development configuration in your MCP settings file
• Point it to your local development build
• Include all tools in the alwaysAllow array

3. Development cycle:

# Make code changes
npm run build  # Build the changes
# Reload VSCode window to pick up new build
# Test using the development server configuration
# Repeat until satisfied with changes

4. Before committing:

• Test all affected functionality
• Update documentation if needed
• Follow the git workflow below

Git Workflow

1. Before starting development:

git pull origin main
npm install  # If dependencies have changed

2. During development:

• The .gitignore file is configured to exclude:
  • Build artifacts (build/, dist/)
  • Dependencies (node_modules/)
  • Environment files (.env*)
  • IDE files (.vscode/, .idea/)
  • Logs and debug files
  • System files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)

3. Committing changes:

git add .  # Stage changes (respects .gitignore)
git commit -m "type: description

- Bullet points for specific changes
- Another change"
