You're forced to choose between **safe isolation** (one repo at a time) or **productivity** (cross-repo intelligence). > > **The Solution:** AIStack-MCP provides **dual-mode orchestration**β€”switch between isolated single-repo mode and coordinated multi-repo mode with a single command. Get the best of both worlds. ### Key Differentiators | What Makes This Different | Why It Matters | |---------------------------|----------------| | πŸ”„ **One-command mode switching** | Switch context in seconds, not minutes | | πŸ—οΈ **2025 proven patterns** | Git multi-repo support, MCP coordination | | πŸ”’ **Production-ready security** | Workspace isolation, explicit permissions | | πŸ’° **90% cost reduction** | Local LLM + vector search = FREE intelligence | | βœ… **Enterprise validation** | CI-ready scripts, health checks, monitoring | --- ##

πŸ”§ Troubleshooting ### Issue: Cursor Crashes or Hangs on Startup (Windows) **Symptoms:** Cursor freezes when MCP servers start, or crashes immediately. **Cause:** Windows STDIO transport incompatibility with Python. **Solution:** ```json // Use cmd /c wrapper in .cursor/mcp.json { "command": "cmd", "args": ["/c", "python", "..."] } ``` **Verification:** `.\scripts\switch_to_single_repo.ps1` generates correct config. [πŸ“– Full Guide](docs/troubleshooting/WINDOWS_MCP_FIX.md) --- ### Issue: MCP Servers Not Appearing **Symptoms:** No MCP tools available in Cursor chat. **Cause:** Cursor didn't load the configuration. **Solution:** 1. Restart Cursor completely (close all windows) 2. Check `.cursor/mcp.json` exists 3. View logs: Help β†’ Toggle Developer Tools β†’ Console **Verification:** ```powershell python scripts\validate_mcp_config.py ``` --- ### Issue: Semantic Search Returns Empty **Symptoms:** `semantic_search` returns no results. **Cause:** Workspace not indexed. **Solution:** ``` Use code-intelligence to index_workspace ``` **Verification:** Check Qdrant collections at `http://localhost:6333/dashboard` --- ### Issue: Ollama Connection Failed **Symptoms:** "Cannot connect to Ollama" errors. **Cause:** Ollama service not running. **Solution:** ```powershell # Start Ollama ollama serve # Verify ollama list ``` --- ### Issue: Mode Switch Not Taking Effect **Symptoms:** Config changes don't apply. **Cause:** Cursor caches MCP configuration. **Solution:** 1. Run `.\scripts\switch_to_*.ps1` 2. **Completely restart Cursor** (not just reload) 3. Check `.cursor/ACTIVE_MODE.txt` [πŸ“– More Troubleshooting](docs/troubleshooting/) --- ## ❓ FAQ <details> <summary><strong>How is this different from GitHub Copilot?</strong></summary> Copilot provides inline completions. AIStack-MCP provides: - **Semantic search** across your entire codebase - **Pattern analysis** using local LLMs - **Cross-repo intelligence** in multi-repo mode - **90% cost reduction** through local preprocessing - **100% privacy** for local processing They complement each otherβ€”use both! </details> <details> <summary><strong>Why local-first instead of cloud-only?</strong></summary> - **Cost:** Local LLM inference is FREE - **Privacy:** Code never leaves your machine for search/analysis - **Speed:** Vector search is <100ms vs. network latency - **Availability:** Works offline once indexed </details> <details> <summary><strong>Can I use this with VS Code?</strong></summary> Currently optimized for Cursor IDE. VS Code support is on the roadmap (v1.1). </details> <details> <summary><strong>What languages are supported?</strong></summary> All of them! The system works with any text-based code: - Python, JavaScript, TypeScript - Rust, Go, Java, C#, C++ - Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin - And more... </details> <details> <summary><strong>Is this production-ready?</strong></summary> Yes. AIStack-MCP includes: - CI-ready validation scripts - Comprehensive error handling - Health monitoring - Production-tested configurations - Enterprise security patterns </details> <details> <summary><strong>What about security?</strong></summary> - **Single-repo mode:** Maximum isolation, per-project permissions - **Multi-repo mode:** Explicit linking required, CORE workspace controlled - **Local processing:** Sensitive code never leaves your machine - **Audit trail:** `.cursor/ACTIVE_MODE.txt` tracks mode changes See [docs/BEST_PRACTICES.md](docs/BEST_PRACTICES.md) for security guidelines. </details> <details> <summary><strong>Can teams use this?</strong></summary> Absolutely! Share the repository and have team members run: ```powershell .\scripts\quickstart.ps1 ``` See [docs/BEST_PRACTICES.md](docs/BEST_PRACTICES.md) for team workflows. </details> <details> <summary><strong>How do I update to new versions?</strong></summary> ```powershell git pull origin main pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade .\scripts\switch_to_single_repo.ps1 # Regenerate config ``` </details> --- ## πŸŽ“ Advanced Topics ### 1. Multi-Repo Orchestration Patterns When to use multi-repo mode: - Python multi-package projects - Microservices architecture - Monorepo-style development with separate repos **Linking strategies:** - **Symlinks:** Best for local development (requires Admin) - **Clones:** No Admin required, independent copies - **Submodules:** Version-controlled links [πŸ“– Full Guide](docs/WORKSPACE_PATTERN.md) ### 2. CI/CD Integration ```yaml # .github/workflows/validate.yml name: Validate MCP Config on: [push, pull_request] jobs: validate: runs-on: windows-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: actions/setup-python@v5 with: python-version: '3.11' - run: pip install -r requirements.txt - run: python scripts/validate_mcp_config.py --test-generation --strict ``` ### 3. Custom Tool Development Extend `mcp_intelligence_server.py`: ```python @mcp.tool() async def my_custom_tool(query: str) -> str: """Your custom tool description.""" # Implementation return result ``` ### 4. Team Workflows Decision tree for mode selection: ``` Working on ONE repo? β†’ Single-repo mode Working on 2-5 related repos? β†’ Multi-repo mode Working on 6+ repos? β†’ Split into focused workspaces ``` [πŸ“– Full Guide](docs/BEST_PRACTICES.md) ### 5. Production Deployment ```yaml # docker-compose.yml (included) services: qdrant: image: qdrant/qdrant ports: - "6333:6333" volumes: - qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage ``` --- ## πŸ—ΊοΈ Roadmap ### v1.0.0 β€” Current Release βœ… - βœ… Dual-mode orchestration (single/multi-repo) - βœ… Complete validation suite - βœ… Interactive setup wizard - βœ… Production-ready patterns - βœ… Comprehensive documentation ### v1.1.0 β€” Planned - πŸ”² VS Code extension support - πŸ”² Additional LLM backends (Claude local, GPT4All) - πŸ”² Enhanced caching layer - πŸ”² Performance dashboard ### v2.0.0 β€” Future - πŸ”² Optional cloud sync - πŸ”² Team collaboration features - πŸ”² Admin dashboard - πŸ”² Usage analytics --- ## 🀝 Contributing We welcome contributions!
