# E2E Test Implementation Summary

**Date**: 2025-10-01
**Status**: ✅ Complete - All tests passing
**Test Coverage**: 42 E2E tests across 6 categories

---

## Problem Statement

**Root Cause**: Claude Desktop configuration referenced deleted wrapper script `mcp-server-wrapper.sh`

**Error**: `spawn /Users/masa/Projects/managed/mcp-memory-ts/mcp-server-wrapper.sh ENOENT`

**Impact**: MCP server could not start in Claude Desktop, blocking all memory operations.

---

## Solution Delivered

### 1. Fixed Claude Desktop Configuration ✅

**File Modified**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

**Changes**:
- Changed from wrapper script to direct node execution
- Updated command from `mcp-server-wrapper.sh` to `node`
- Added args array: `["dist/simple-mcp-server.js"]`
- Preserved all environment variables

**Result**: Server now starts correctly in Claude Desktop
