### Description (declared)

# MCP Config Doctor 0.1

MCP Config Doctor is a local, read-only static scanner for one named MCP server.
It checks known configuration surfaces for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex,
and VS Code, then prints deterministic findings and manual next steps.

Version 0.1.0 is a deliberately narrow public beta. It performs static checks
only, makes no runtime-success promise, and does not include checkout or license
enforcement. USD 19 remains a pricing hypothesis rather than a current charge.

## Install and run locally

Python 3.11 or newer is the supported runtime. The package has no runtime
dependencies and does not require network access.

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install .
mcp-doctor scan --server filesystem
```

Narrow the scan or emit machine-readable output:

```bash
mcp-doctor scan --server filesystem --client codex --format json
```

The command prints the paths it checked, but replaces the home and project roots
with `~` and `<project>`. It never prints environment values or argument values.

## What v0 checks

- known user and project/workspace configuration locations;
- duplicate, shadowed, absent, and ambiguous-scope definitions;
- local stdio command resolution in the current process environment;
- configured `cwd`, path-like arguments, and named environment references;
- wrapper/no-TTY and container/localhost risk patterns;
- malformed, duplicate-key, unreadable, oversized, and unsupported configs;
- text and JSON reports using the same versioned finding catalog.

The full path matrix is in [docs/config-matrix.md](docs/config-matrix.md), and
the stable code contract is in [docs/findings.md](docs/findings.md).

## Exit codes

- `0`: reliable static scan with no actionable `FAIL`; warnings may remain.
- `1`: reliable scan found at least one actionable `FAIL`.
- `2`: invalid input, parsing, permission, unsupported transport/shape, or
  ambiguous precedence prevented a reliable conclusion.
