Summary

Stacked on #98. Before this change, connecting an AI client meant cloning the repo and building services/mcp-server by hand, because the server was not in the installer. The GUI also had no setup instructions.

• Packaging. npm run bundle builds the MCP server with esbuild into a single ESM index.js (about 800 KB).

  • npm run stage:mcp stages it before electron-vite build in dist, dist:mac and dist:linux, and it ships as the mcp-server extraResource. CI needs no workflow change.
  • A single file keeps the installer small and avoids a second node_modules tree in electron-builder.
  • Verified: an unpacked Linux package contains resources/mcp-server/index.js, and that file answers initialize and tools/list over stdio. A vitest test builds the bundle and checks the tool count over stdio.

• Path resolution. Main resolves the bundle path:

  • packaged: resources/mcp-server/index.js
  • AppImage: copied to ~/.wdc/mcp-server/index.js, because the AppImage mount path changes on every launch
  • dev: the repo build

  Preload exposes the path with the token-file status.

• "Connect an AI client" card on the MCP page:

  • the mcp.enabled switch (the same setting as Settings → Advanced)
  • live status: enabled, token file present, bundle found, and the last MCP call, refreshed on mcp:tool-call
  • copy buttons:
    • Claude Code: claude mcp add --scope user nks-wdc -- node "<path>" (syntax checked against claude mcp add --help)
    • Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) and Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json): {"mcpServers":{"nks-wdc":{"command":"node","args":["<path>"]}}}

• mcp_disabled responses now carry a hint saying where to enable MCP.

• READMEs describe the claude mcp add flow. The tool counts are counted from source (72 tools; 33 in --readonly); before, the READMEs said 48 and 67.

Verification

dotnet build WebDevConsole.sln -c Release && dotnet test WebDevConsole.sln -c Release --no-build   # 202 + 972
cd src/frontend && npx vue-tsc --noEmit && npx electron-vite build
cd services/mcp-server && npx tsc --noEmit && npx vitest run

Needs a manual check in packaged builds:

• the path shown on Windows, macOS and AppImage;
• that node (18+) on the user's PATH runs it;
• that macOS signing accepts the extra .js resource.
