Additional sections

Configuration and security notes: The server runs as a local process that you start with the specified command. Provide your API keys and tokens in the environment to enable Gemini, Perplexity, and Stack Exchange integrations. The same keys are used to power the AI-driven insights and the data sources combined to form the final guidance.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter connection errors, verify that the MCP server process is running and that the configured path to the built index.js is correct. Ensure your API keys are valid and not expired. For best results, keep the dependencies up to date and re-build after any dependency changes.
