+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps for Testing
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+This will install `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` (~30MB).
+
+### 2. Configure Claude Desktop (macOS)
+
+Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "wp-code-check": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": [
+        "/Users/noelsaw/Documents/GitHub Repos/wp-code-check/dist/bin/mcp-server.js"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Important:** Use the absolute path shown above (no `~` or relative paths).
+
+### 3. Run a Test Scan
+
+```bash
+./dist/bin/check-performance.sh --paths ./dist/tests/fixtures
+```
+
+This will generate:
+- `dist/logs/{timestamp}.json`
+- `dist/reports/{timestamp}.html`
+
+### 4. Test with Claude Desktop
+
+Restart Claude Desktop, then ask:
+
+- "Show me the latest WP Code Check scan results"
+- "What are the critical issues in wpcc://latest-scan?"
+- "Summarize the findings from the latest scan"
+

+
+## ✅ Checklist for User
+
+Before committing:
+
+- [ ] Run `npm install` to verify dependencies install correctly
+- [ ] Test MCP server manually: `node dist/bin/mcp-server.js`
+- [ ] Configure Claude Desktop with absolute path
+- [ ] Run a test scan: `./dist/bin/check-performance.sh --paths ./dist/tests/fixtures`
+- [ ] Test with Claude Desktop: "Show me wpcc://latest-scan"
+- [ ] Verify all documentation is accurate
+- [ ] Update version in any other files if needed
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+- **Node.js Requirement:** MCP requires Node.js 18+. This is the only new dependency.
+- **Backward Compatibility:** All existing functionality works without MCP. It's purely additive.
+- **Performance:** MCP server adds ~30MB memory overhead (Node.js + SDK). Negligible for modern systems.
+- **Security:** MCP server only reads local files (logs, reports). No network access, no external APIs.
