+# @mcp-apps-kit/core
+
+Server-side framework for MCP applications. Handles tool definitions, UI resources, adapters, middleware, and Express server setup.
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C packages/core test        # Run tests
+pnpm -C packages/core typecheck   # Type check only
+pnpm -C packages/core lint        # Lint only
+```
+
+## Key Exports
+
+- `createApp` - Main entry point for creating an MCP app
+- `defineTool` - Type-safe tool definition helper
+- `defineUI` - UI resource definition helper
+- `createPlugin` - Plugin system for extending apps
+
+## Patterns
+
+Use `defineTool` and `defineUI` for type inference instead of inline objects.
+
+Middleware is Koa-style: always `await next()` or the chain breaks.
+
+Exports are centralized through `src/index.ts`, which re-exports from barrel files (`index.ts`) in subdirectories: `adapters/`, `debug/`, `events/`, `middleware/`, `plugins/`, `server/`, and `server/oauth/`. Subdirectory barrel files are local re-exports only - all public API goes through the root `src/index.ts`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Express 5 (async error handling differs from v4)
+- Zod 4 (breaking changes from v3)
+- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- Forgetting to `await next()` in middleware
+- Using Zod 3 APIs that changed in v4 (check migration guide)
+- Adding exports outside `index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## Learnings
+
+<!-- MANDATORY: Document failures here to prevent repeated mistakes -->
+<!-- Format: what went wrong → what to do instead -->
+
+<!-- Example:
+- Type error in handler because input wasn't validated → Always use Zod schema, never trust raw input
+- Middleware chain broke silently → Add logging middleware first to debug chain issues

+# @mcp-apps-kit/create-app
+
+CLI tool for scaffolding MCP applications. Creates new projects with React or vanilla JS templates.
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C packages/create-app test        # Run tests
+pnpm -C packages/create-app typecheck   # Type check only
+pnpm -C packages/create-app lint        # Lint only
+```
+
+## Key Exports
+
+- `scaffoldProject` - Programmatic project creation
+- CLI binary: `create-mcp-apps-kit`
+
+## Templates
+
+- `react` - React + Vite + @mcp-apps-kit/ui-react
+- `vanilla` - Vanilla JS + Vite + @mcp-apps-kit/ui
+
+Both include:
+
+- Server with example tool
+- UI with theming
+- Integration tests
+- Optional Vercel deployment config
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- commander (CLI framework)
+- @inquirer/prompts (interactive prompts)
+- figlet, chalk (CLI styling)
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- Running in non-empty directory (fails)
+- Fetches latest package versions from npm at runtime
+- Generated projects use npm (not pnpm) to avoid workspace conflicts
+
+---
+
+## Learnings
+
+<!-- MANDATORY: Document failures here to prevent repeated mistakes -->
+<!-- Format: what went wrong → what to do instead -->
+
+<!-- Example:
+- Template file had wrong path → Use path.join() not string concatenation for cross-platform
+- npm install failed in generated project → Check if package versions are valid on npm registry

+# @mcp-apps-kit/testing
+
+Comprehensive testing library for MCP applications. Supports unit, integration, behavior, property, and LLM evaluation testing.
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm -C packages/testing test        # Run tests
+pnpm -C packages/testing typecheck   # Type check only
+pnpm -C packages/testing lint        # Lint only
+```
+
+## Key Exports
+
+- `createTestEnvironment` - Full test setup with server and client
+- `startTestServer` / `createTestClient` - Individual components
+- `expectToolResult` - Fluent assertions for tool results
+- `createMCPEval` / `describeEval` - LLM-based evaluation
+- Framework adapters: `@mcp-apps-kit/testing/vitest`, `@mcp-apps-kit/testing/jest`
+
+## Patterns
+
+```typescript
+const env = await createTestEnvironment({ app });
+const result = await env.client.callTool("greet", { name: "Alice" });
+expectToolResult(result).toMatchObject({ message: "Hello, Alice!" });
+await env.cleanup();
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
+- Zod 4
+- Optional: vitest, jest, fast-check, openai, @anthropic-ai/sdk
+
+## Common Mistakes
+
+- Forgetting `await env.cleanup()` (leaves server running)
+- Not setting up vitest/jest matchers in setup file
+- Missing optional peer deps for LLM eval features

+<!-- MANDATORY: Document failures here to prevent repeated mistakes -->
+<!-- Format: what went wrong → what to do instead -->

+
+Subscribe to events with `onHostContextChange`, `onToolResult`.
