Recommended workflow
--------------------
1) Install / place distribution
   - Copy this folder to any location on your PC.
   - Optional: create a desktop shortcut for quick start.

2) Start and install in LM Studio
   - Run `SindByte 01.exe`.
   - Click the `Installieren` button.
   - After this, LM Studio MCP integration for this server is installed.

3) Configure LM Studio MCP (if needed)
   - LM Studio default config path is:
     `C:\Users\<your_user>\\.lmstudio\\mcp.json`
   - Ensure `sindbyte-mcp` entry exists:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sindbyte-mcp": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5555/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

4) Optional: enable helper MCP servers
   - For web search install `ddg-search` via steps in `DDG-Search.txt`.
   - For Chrome DevTools support follow `LMStudio_ChromeDevTools_MCP_Installation_Guide.txt`.

5) First run verification
   - Start SindByte server.
   - In LM Studio, check that MCP tools are visible.
   - Run a quick tool call/test (for example, one basic tool from the server).

What this server does (quick summary)
-------------------------------------
SindByte MCP Server exposes local and remote helper tools through MCP.
It is intended for local AI workflows in LM Studio and related MCP clients,
including file, memory, data, and system interaction categories.

Command line options
--------------------
For advanced startup automation, tool defaults, and automation flags, use:

- `COMMANDLINE_OPTIONS.txt`

This file contains full documented switches, default values, aliases, limits,
and runtime behaviour notes. Use only options that match your environment.

Troubleshooting
--------------
- LM Studio does not show SindByte:
  - Ensure the server is running.
  - Verify MCP URL is `http://127.0.0.1:5555/mcp`.
  - Restart LM Studio completely after config changes.

- Installation button seems inactive:
  - Run as a normal user with permission to edit user profile files.
  - Ensure no other process blocks LM Studio config write access.

- Search helper (ddg-search) does not start:
  - Verify uvx path in `DDG-Search.txt` config entry.
  - Check that uvx is installed and callable.

- Port or config conflict:
  - Check whether another process occupies port 5555.

Notes on API keys / external services
-------------------------------------
- Replace placeholder paths and tokens inside any sample MCP config with
  values for your own machine.
- Configure service credentials only in your secure environment.

Legal notes
-----------
The original `Installation.txt` contains legal terms in German. Key points:
- Use is at your own responsibility.
- No liability for direct or indirect damage is accepted.
- Free for non-commercial use.
- Contact the author for commercial use.

If you need a pure offline setup (without external services), do not install
`ddg-search` or other external MCP servers.
