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

VS Code MCP Integration Setup

Quick Setup

# 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 2: Build from Source

cargo build --release

Configure VS Code

  1. Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P
  2. Run MCP: Add Server
  3. Choose Workspace or User scope
  4. Enter server name: mt5-quant
  5. Enter command: ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant

Method 2: Edit mcp.json Directly

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "~/.local/bin/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}

Create the file:

mkdir -p .vscode
cat > .vscode/mcp.json << 'EOF'
{
  "servers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "~/.local/bin/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}
EOF

Method 3: VS Code CLI

code --add-mcp '{"name":"mt5-quant","command":"~/.local/bin/mt5-quant"}'

Verify Setup

In Copilot chat, type:

Run verify_setup

Expected output:

Wine:    /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
Display: gui
Arch:    arch -x86_64

Configuration Locations

Scope Path Use Case
Workspace .vscode/mcp.json Share with team via source control
User ~/.vscode/mcp.json Personal tools across all projects
Dev Container devcontainer.jsoncustomizations.vscode.mcp Containerized environments

Troubleshooting

MCP server not appearing

  1. Open Output panel (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U)
  2. Select MCP from dropdown
  3. Check for connection errors
  4. Verify the path is absolute

Config not found

The binary auto-detects its config, but you can also:

  1. Run setup.sh to create config/mt5-quant.yaml
  2. Or let the binary auto-discover on first run

Dev Container Setup

Add to .devcontainer/devcontainer.json:

{
  "customizations": {
    "vscode": {
      "mcp": {
        "servers": {
          "mt5-quant": {
            "command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Key Differences from Other IDEs

VS Code uses servers (not mcpServers) in the JSON structure:

{
  "servers": {        // ← VS Code uses "servers"
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "..."
    }
  }
}

Other platforms use mcpServers.
