3. docs/PHASE_3_MCP_INTEGRATION.md - MCP Implementation Plan

Changes Made: - Restructured Implementation Plan into three approaches: - Approach 1: IDE-Side Integration (✅ Complete) - Approach 2: Docker Compose Stack (🔄 Planned) - Approach 3: Hybrid Setup (🔄 Planned) - Added comprehensive status tracking and configuration details - Updated Next Steps with phased implementation: - Phase 3.1: IDE Integration (Complete) - Phase 3.2: Docker Compose Stack (Planned) - Phase 3.3: Advanced Features (Future) - Added Getting Started section with quick start instructions - Added Current Implementation Status with clear progress indicators

4. README.md - Main Project README

Changes Made: - Added IDE Integration as a key feature - Enhanced Quick Start section with two options: - Option 1: Full Stack Deployment (existing approach) - Option 2: IDE MCP Integration (new recommended approach for development) - Updated MCP Services table with IDE Support column showing configuration status - Added IDE Integration note with link to detailed setup guide - Enhanced Project Structure section showing new configuration files: - docs/IDE_MCP_SETUP.md - IDE MCP integration guide - docs/PHASE_3_MCP_INTEGRATION.md - MCP implementation plan - configs/ide-mcp/vscode-mcp.json - Global VS Code/Codium MCP config - .vscode/mcp.json - Workspace MCP configuration

5. docs/IDE_MCP_SETUP.md - New Comprehensive Setup Guide

Created: A complete 200+ line guide covering: - Overview and benefits of IDE-side MCP integration - Prerequisites (IDE requirements, Docker, access tokens) - Three setup methods (workspace-specific, global, other IDEs) - Detailed usage examples for each MCP server - Configuration options and customization - Troubleshooting section with common issues - Security considerations - Alternative remote MCP server options - Next steps and advanced features

Key Improvements

1. User Experience

  • Clear separation between full stack deployment and IDE integration
  • Step-by-step instructions for multiple IDE setups
  • Comprehensive troubleshooting guide

2. Documentation Structure

  • Logical progression from overview to detailed implementation
  • Cross-references between related documents
  • Status indicators showing what's complete vs. planned

3. Configuration Management

  • Pre-built configuration files for immediate use
  • Both workspace-specific and global setup options
  • Support for multiple IDEs and editors

4. Security Focus

  • Detailed token setup instructions
  • Security considerations and best practices
  • Secure token management through IDE input prompts

MCP Server Configurations

The documentation now reflects the actual configuration files:

Global Configuration (configs/ide-mcp/vscode-mcp.json)

  • Standard Docker container execution
  • No workspace mounting (for general use)
  • Secure token input prompts

Workspace Configuration (.vscode/mcp.json)

  • Workspace-specific Docker container execution
  • Automatic workspace mounting at /workspace
  • Same secure token management

Supported MCP Servers

  1. GitHub MCP Server (ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server)
  2. Toolsets: repos, issues, pull_requests, actions, code_security, context
  3. GitLab MCP Server (zereight/gitlab-mcp)
  4. Default GitLab.com integration with custom URL support
  5. SonarQube MCP Server (sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp-server)
  6. Local SonarQube instance support (localhost:9000)

Next Steps

The documentation is now ready to support: 1. Immediate IDE integration using the provided configuration files 2. Future Docker Compose implementation (Phase 3.2) 3. Advanced MCP server additions (Phase 3.3) 4. Team collaboration features and multi-user configurations

All documentation cross-references are properly linked and the user journey from initial setup to advanced usage is clearly defined.
