 ## Technology Stack
 
-- **Language**: Go 1.25.5
+- **Language**: Go 1.24+
 - **Build System**: Nix flakes
-- **Databases**: PostgreSQL (primary) and SQLite (lightweight alternative)
-- **Protocol**: MCP (Model Context Protocol) - JSON-RPC over stdio
+- **Databases**: PostgreSQL and SQLite (both fully supported)
+- **Protocol**: MCP (Model Context Protocol) - JSON-RPC over STDIO or HTTP/SSE
 - **Module Path**: `git.t-juice.club/torjus/labmcp`
 
-## Key Architectural Decisions
+## Project Status
 
-1. **Database Support**: Both PostgreSQL and SQLite
-   - PostgreSQL is preferred for production use (user's preference)
-   - SQLite provides lightweight alternative for simpler deployments
-   - Use Go's `database/sql` interface for abstraction
+**Complete and maintained** - All core features implemented:
+- Full MCP server with 6 tools
+- PostgreSQL and SQLite backends with FTS
+- NixOS module for deployment
+- CLI for manual operations
+- Comprehensive test suite
 
-2. **File Storage**: Store nixpkgs file contents in database during indexing
-   - Better performance for the `get_file` tool
-   - PostgreSQL handles large text storage well
-
-3. **Revision Management**: Support multiple indexed nixpkgs revisions
-   - Store git hash, date, channel name, option count
-   - Allow querying specific revisions or use defaults
-   - Default revision: nixos-stable (configurable)
-
-4. **Indexing Approach**: Part of MCP server, blocking operation (initially)
-   - Allows Claude to read flake.lock and request indexing
-   - Can optimize to async later if needed
-
-5. **Testing**: Aim for >80% test coverage
-   - Unit tests for all components
-   - Integration tests for full workflows
-   - Benchmarks for indexing and query performance
-
-## MCP Tools to Implement
-
-### Core Search & Query
-1. **`search_options`** - Fuzzy/partial matching search
-   - Parameters: revision, query, optional filters (type, namespace, hasDefault)
-   - Returns: matching options with basic metadata
-
-2. **`get_option`** - Get full details for specific option
-   - Parameters: revision, option_path, optional depth
-   - Returns: name, type, default, example, description, file paths
-   - Default: direct children only (one level deep)
-   - Includes related/nearby options in same namespace
-
-3. **`get_file`** - Fetch nixpkgs source file contents
-   - Parameters: revision, file_path
-   - Returns: file contents
-   - Security: validate paths, no traversal, nixpkgs-only
-
-### Revision Management
-4. **`index_revision`** - Index a specific nixpkgs revision
-   - Parameters: git_hash (full or short)
-   - Process: fetch nixpkgs, extract options.json, populate DB
-   - Returns: summary (option count, duration, etc.)
-
-5. **`list_revisions`** - List indexed revisions
-   - Returns: git hash, date, channel name, option count
-
-6. **`delete_revision`** - Prune old/unused revisions
-   - Parameters: revision identifier
-   - Returns: confirmation of deletion
-
-### Channel Support
-- Support friendly aliases: `nixos-unstable`, `nixos-24.05`, `nixos-23.11`, etc.
-- Can be used in place of git hashes in all tools
-
-## Database Schema
-
-**Tables:**
-
-1. `revisions` - Indexed nixpkgs versions
-   - id, git_hash (unique), channel_name, commit_date, indexed_at, option_count
-
-2. `options` - NixOS options with hierarchy support
-   - id, revision_id (FK), name, parent_path, type, default_value (JSON text), example (JSON text), description, read_only
-   - parent_path enables efficient "list children" queries (derived from name)
-
-3. `declarations` - File paths where options are declared
-   - id, option_id (FK), file_path, line_number
-
-4. `files` - Cached file contents
-   - id, revision_id (FK), file_path, extension, content
-   - Configurable whitelist of extensions (default: .nix, .json, .md, .txt, .toml, .yaml, .yml)
-
-**Indexes:**
-- Full-text search: PostgreSQL (tsvector/GIN), SQLite (FTS5)
-- B-tree on (revision_id, name) and (revision_id, parent_path)
-- B-tree on (revision_id, file_path) for file lookups
-
-**Cross-DB Compatibility:**
-- JSON stored as TEXT (not JSONB) for SQLite compatibility
-- Separate FTS implementations per database engine
-

-## Use Cases
+## MCP Tools
 
-**Primary Use Case**: Claude can help users find and understand NixOS options
-- "What options are available for nginx?"
-- "Show me the services.caddy.* options"
-- "What's the default value for services.postgresql.enable?"
-- User shares a flake.lock → Claude indexes that nixpkgs version → answers questions about options in that specific version
+All tools are implemented and functional:
 
-**Secondary Use Case**: Explore module implementations
-- If option description is unclear, fetch the actual module source
-- Understand how complex options are structured
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `search_options` | Full-text search across option names and descriptions |
+| `get_option` | Get full details for a specific option with children |
+| `get_file` | Fetch source file contents from indexed nixpkgs |
+| `index_revision` | Index a nixpkgs revision (by hash or channel name) |
+| `list_revisions` | List all indexed revisions |
+| `delete_revision` | Delete an indexed revision |
 
-## Testing Strategy
+## Key Implementation Details
 
-- **Unit Tests**: All components with mocks where appropriate
-- **Integration Tests**: Full indexing pipeline, MCP tool invocations
-- **Benchmarks**: Indexing time, query performance, memory usage
-- **Test Fixtures**: Sample options.json, mock repositories
-- **Coverage Goal**: >80% on core logic, 100% on database operations
+### Database
+- Schema versioning with automatic recreation on version mismatch
+- Full-text search: SQLite FTS5, PostgreSQL tsvector/GIN
+- Path-based queries use LIKE for exact prefix matching
+- Batch operations for efficient indexing
 
-## Open Questions
+### Indexing
+- Uses `nix-build` to evaluate NixOS options from any nixpkgs revision
+- File indexing downloads tarball and stores allowed extensions (.nix, .json, .md, etc.)
+- File indexing enabled by default (use `--no-files` to skip)
+- Skips already-indexed revisions (use `--force` to re-index)
 
-1. Should `index_revision` be blocking or async? (Currently: blocking, optimize later)
-2. Should we auto-update channel aliases or manual only?
+### Transports
+- **STDIO**: Default transport, line-delimited JSON-RPC (for CLI/desktop MCP clients)
+- **HTTP**: Streamable HTTP transport with SSE (for web-based MCP clients)
+  - Session management with cryptographically secure IDs
+  - Configurable CORS (localhost-only by default)
+  - Optional TLS support
+  - SSE keepalive messages (15s default)
 
-## Current Status
+### Security
+- Revision parameter validated against strict regex to prevent Nix injection
+- Path traversal protection using `filepath.Clean()` and `filepath.IsAbs()`
+- NixOS module supports `connectionStringFile` for PostgreSQL secrets
+- Systemd service runs with extensive hardening options
+- HTTP transport hardening:
+  - Request body size limit (1MB default)
+  - Server timeouts (read: 30s, write: 30s, idle: 120s, header: 10s)
+  - Maximum session limit (10,000 default)
+  - Origin validation for CORS
 
-**Planning phase** - architecture and features defined, ready to begin implementation.
+## CLI Commands
 
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Design and implement database schema
-2. Set up project structure (directories, Go modules)
-3. Implement database abstraction layer
-4. Implement MCP protocol basics
-5. Build indexing logic
-6. Implement MCP tools
-7. Create Nix package in flake.nix
-8. Write tests and benchmarks
+```bash
+nixos-options serve                    # Run MCP server on STDIO (default)
+nixos-options serve --transport http   # Run MCP server on HTTP
+nixos-options serve --transport http \
+  --http-address 0.0.0.0:8080 \
+  --allowed-origins https://example.com  # HTTP with custom config
+nixos-options index <revision>         # Index a nixpkgs revision
+nixos-options index --force <r>        # Force re-index existing revision
+nixos-options index --no-files         # Skip file content indexing
+nixos-options list                     # List indexed revisions
+nixos-options search <query>           # Search options
+nixos-options get <option>             # Get option details
+nixos-options delete <revision>        # Delete indexed revision
+nixos-options --version                # Show version
+```
 
 ## Notes for Claude
 
+### Development Workflow
+- **Always run `go fmt ./...` before committing Go code**
+- **Run Go commands using `nix develop -c`** (e.g., `nix develop -c go test ./...`)
+- **Use `nix run` to run binaries** (e.g., `nix run .#nixos-options -- serve`)
+- File paths in responses should use format `path/to/file.go:123`
+
+### User Preferences
 - User prefers PostgreSQL over SQLite (has homelab infrastructure)
 - User values good test coverage and benchmarking
 - Project should remain generic to support future MCP servers
-- Nix flake must provide importable packages for other repos
-- Use `database/sql` interface for database abstraction
-- File paths in responses should use format `path/to/file.go:123`
-- **Always run `go fmt ./...` before committing Go code**
-- **Run Go commands using `nix develop -c`** (e.g., `nix develop -c go test ./...`) to ensure proper build environment with all dependencies
-- **Use `nix run` to run binaries** instead of `go build` followed by running the binary (e.g., `nix run .#nixos-options -- serve`)
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+nix develop -c go test ./... -short
+
+# Run with verbose output
+nix develop -c go test ./... -v
+
+# Run benchmarks (requires nix-build)
+nix develop -c go test -bench=. -benchtime=1x -timeout=30m ./internal/nixos/...
+```
+
+### Building

+# Build with nix
+nix build

+# Run directly
+nix run . -- serve
+nix run . -- index nixos-unstable
