Configuration

Environment Variables

Usage with Claude Desktop

The server automatically configures Claude Desktop during installation. To verify:

macOS:

cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows:

type %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Development

MCP Inspector

The MCP Inspector is a development tool for testing your server:

npm run inspector

This will open a web interface at http://localhost:5173 where you can interact with your server.

Development Mode

Run the server with sample data:

NODE_ENV=development npm run build && node build/index.js

Customizing the Style Guide

The style guide can be customized to match your brand's specific styling philosophies and fashion guidance. To customize the style guide:

1. Locate the style guides in src/index.ts (search for styleGuides)
2. Modify the content for each category (general, color_theory, body_types, etc.)
3. Add new categories by extending the styleGuides object
4. Customize occasion-specific and seasonal advice

Example of adding a custom style guide category:

// In src/index.ts
const styleGuides: Record<string, string> = {
  // Existing categories...
  
  // Add your custom category
  your_brand_style: `# Your Brand Style Guide
  
## Brand Aesthetic
- Key elements of your brand's visual identity
- Core style principles
- Signature looks and combinations

## Your Brand's Styling Do's
- Brand-specific styling recommendations
- Preferred color combinations
- Signature styling techniques

## Your Brand's Styling Don'ts
- Combinations to avoid
- Styling approaches that don't align with brand identity
- Common styling mistakes to avoid
`
};

For complete customization, you can modify the entire get_style_guide handler in src/index.ts.
