## Build from source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/gtorreal/buda-mcp.git
cd buda-mcp
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js        # stdio (for MCP clients)
node dist/http.js         # HTTP on port 3000 (for Railway / hosted)
```

Run tests:

```bash
npm run test:unit        # 100 unit tests, no network required
npm run test:integration # live API tests (skips if unreachable)
npm test                 # both
```

---

## HTTP / Railway deployment

The `dist/http.js` entrypoint runs an Express server with:
- `POST /mcp` — Streamable HTTP MCP transport
- `GET /mcp` — SSE streaming transport
- `GET /health` — health check (`{ status }`)
- `GET /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json` — Smithery-compatible static tool manifest

### Environment variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | No | HTTP listen port (default: `3000`) |
| `MCP_RATE_LIMIT` | No | Max requests per IP per minute on `/mcp` (default: `120`) |
| `TRUST_PROXY_HOPS` | No | Number of reverse-proxy hops to trust for `X-Forwarded-For` (default: `1`). |

---

## Security

The server exposes only public Buda.com API endpoints. No credentials are accepted or stored. Input validation is applied to all tool parameters to prevent prompt injection. Error messages are sanitized — internal details (paths, upstream errors) are logged to stderr only and never returned to callers.

### Reporting vulnerabilities

Please report security issues privately via [GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/gtorreal/buda-mcp/security/advisories/new) — not as public issues. See [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/gtorreal/buda-mcp/blob/HEAD/SECURITY.md) for the full disclosure policy.
