🚀 What Users Get

Simple Claude Desktop Setup:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "quiver": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:usnavy13/quiverMCP"],
      "env": {
        "QUIVER_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Easy Testing:

npm run test:stdio  # Validates all 21 QuiverAPI tools

📋 Files Changed

  • README.md - Comprehensive documentation updates
  • CHANGELOG.md - Documented improvements
  • package.json - Added STDIO test script
  • test-stdio.js - New STDIO test suite

Testing

  • All existing functionality preserved
  • STDIO test suite passes (validates 21 tools)
  • No breaking changes to existing code

This enhancement makes it much clearer that QuiverMCP already supports STDIO and provides excellent Claude Desktop integration out of the box!

- Add dedicated Claude Desktop integration section with setup instructions
- Reorganize server modes to prioritize STDIO over HTTP
- Include npx usage examples for easy installation
- Add STDIO testing examples and manual usage instructions
- Update prerequisites to be mode-specific
- Highlight Claude Desktop compatibility in features
- Update CHANGELOG with documentation improvements

The STDIO test suite validates:
- MCP protocol initialization
