Devid HW ac5ec453d3 docs: clean up public repo — remove IDE files, fix stale refs
- Untrack .claude/commands/ and .windsurf/workflows/ (personal IDE config)
- Fix .gitignore: scope /CLAUDE.md to root only, add .claude/, remove
  incorrect .github/workflows/ exclusion (CI needs these tracked)
- Rename docs/ANTIGRAVITY.md → docs/CLAUDE.md (Claude Desktop setup;
  "Antigravity" was an internal codename, confusing to public users)
- Fix stale repo name: masdevid/mt5-mcp → masdevid/mt5-quant in
  README.md, docs/CLAUDE.md, CURSOR.md, QUICKSTART.md, VSCODE.md, WINDSURF.md

# Quickstart Guide
## 1. Download or Build
### Option A: Prebuilt Binary (Recommended)
```bash
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz
# Linux (x64)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz
```
### Option B: Build from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-quant
cd mt5-quant
bash scripts/build-rust.sh
```
## 2. Install MetaTrader 5
### macOS - MetaTrader 5.app (Free)
1. Download from [metatrader5.com](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/download)
2. Install to `/Applications`
3. **Launch once** to initialize Wine prefix (~30s), then quit
Auto-detected paths:
- Wine: `/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wine/bin/wine64`
- MT5: `~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
### macOS - CrossOver (Paid, Better Compatibility)
1. Install [CrossOver](https://www.codeweavers.com/)
2. Create bottle `MetaTrader5`
3. Install MT5 inside bottle
Auto-detected paths:
- Wine: `/Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/wine64`
- MT5: `~/Library/Application Support/MetaQuotes/<hash>/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
### Linux
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install wine64 xvfb
# Fedora/RHEL
sudo dnf install wine xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
# Install MT5
wine64 MetaTrader5Setup.exe
```
MT5 location: `~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5`
## 3. Configure
Run the setup script to auto-detect paths:
```bash
bash scripts/setup.sh # interactive
bash scripts/setup.sh --yes # non-interactive (CI)
```
This creates `config/mt5-quant.yaml` (gitignored).
Minimum config:
```yaml
wine_executable: "/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/Contents/SharedSupport/wine/bin/wine64"
terminal_dir: "~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/Program Files/MetaTrader 5"
```
## 4. Register MCP Server
### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add io.github.masdevid/mt5-quant -- ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant
```
Verify:
```bash
claude mcp list
```
### Windsurf
Add to `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"io.github.masdevid/mt5-quant": {
"command": "~/.local/bin/mt5-quant",
"disabled": false,
"registry": "io.github.masdevid/mt5-quant"
}
}
}
```
### Cursor
Add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mt5-quant": {
"command": "~/.local/bin/mt5-quant"
}
}
}
```
Or use Settings → MCP → Add Custom MCP.
### VS Code
Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:
```json
{
"servers": {
"mt5-quant": {
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
}
}
}
```
Or run `MCP: Add Server` from Command Palette.
### Claude Desktop
1. Open Agent panel → Click "..." menu → MCP Servers
2. Click "Manage MCP Servers"
3. Click "View raw config" or "Edit configuration"
4. Add to `mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mt5-quant": {
"command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
}
}
}
```
5. Restart Claude Desktop to apply changes
## 5. Verify Setup
```bash
bash scripts/platform_detect.sh
```
Or in Claude/Windsurf:
```
Run verify_setup
```
Expected output:
```
Wine: /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
Display: gui
Arch: arch -x86_64
```
## 6. Run First Backtest
```
Run a backtest on MyEA from 2025.01.01 to 2025.03.31
```
The AI will:
1. Verify setup
2. Compile your EA
3. Clean MT5 cache
4. Run backtest
5. Extract and analyze results
6. Report key findings
