Development

Clean installation from source

Prerequisites: Git, Node.js and npm. Use Node.js 24 to match the repository’s publishing workflow; package.json does not declare a supported Node.js version range. Include development dependencies when installing, since the build requires TypeScript.

Clone the repository and restore dependencies from the committed package-lock.json:

git clone https://github.com/amidabuddha/unichat-ts-mcp-server.git
cd unichat-ts-mcp-server
npm ci

npm ci automatically runs prepare, which invokes npm run build. That script removes the generated build/ directory, compiles src/ into build/ using tsconfig.json, and marks build/index.js executable. With lifecycle scripts enabled (the default), no separate first build is needed. Keep package-lock.json and install development dependencies; do not use --ignore-scripts or --omit=dev for this workflow.

Before running, set UNICHAT_MODEL and UNICHAT_API_KEY in the process environment, or use the MCP client’s env configuration shown under Installing manually. Replace both placeholders with a supported model and its vendor API key. For example, in a POSIX shell:
