## Development
### MCP Inspector
The MCP Inspector is a development tool for testing your server:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
This will open a web interface at http://localhost:5173 where you can interact with your server.
### Development Mode
Run the server with sample data:
```bash
NODE_ENV=development npm run build && node build/index.js
```
### Customizing the Style Guide
The style guide can be customized to match your brand's specific styling philosophies and fashion guidance. To customize the style guide:
1. Locate the style guides in `src/index.ts` (search for `styleGuides`)
2. Modify the content for each category (`general`, `color_theory`, `body_types`, etc.)
3. Add new categories by extending the `styleGuides` object
4. Customize occasion-specific and seasonal advice
Example of adding a custom style guide category:
```typescript
// In src/index.ts
const styleGuides: Record<string, string> = {
// Existing categories...
// Add your custom category
your_brand_style: `# Your Brand Style Guide
## Brand Aesthetic
- Key elements of your brand's visual identity
- Core style principles
- Signature looks and combinations
## Your Brand's Styling Do's
- Brand-specific styling recommendations
- Preferred color combinations
- Signature styling techniques
## Your Brand's Styling Don'ts
- Combinations to avoid
- Styling approaches that don't align with brand identity
- Common styling mistakes to avoid
`
};
```
For complete customization, you can modify the entire `get_style_guide` handler in `src/index.ts`.
