## 🚀 Quick Start

### Immediate Use (Simple MCP Server)

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Test the MCP server
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | npm run mcp-server
```

### Claude Desktop Integration

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory-ts": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-memory-ts/dist/simple-mcp-server.js"],
      "env": {
        "TURSO_URL": "your-database-url",
        "TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-auth-token",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-openai-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## 💡 Usage Examples

### Memory Management
```typescript
// Add memory with vector embedding
await memoryCore.addMemory(
  "TypeScript Project Setup",
  "Configured modern TypeScript project with strict typing",
  MemoryType.TECHNICAL,
  { tags: ["typescript", "setup"], importance: ImportanceLevel.HIGH }
);

// Search with vector similarity
const results = await memoryCore.searchMemories("typescript configuration");
```

### Entity Management
```typescript
// Create person entity
await memoryCore.createEntity(
  "John Doe",
  EntityType.PERSON,
  { company: "Tech Corp", title: "Developer" }
);
```

This TypeScript implementation provides a solid foundation for a cloud-based vector memory service that integrates seamlessly with Claude.ai while maintaining the core functionality of the original Python implementation.
