- No versioning (stores latest only as per requirements)
- Supports complete database rebuilds
- ~4.5MB database with 500+ nodes indexed

Production features:
- Automated deployment script
- Docker Compose production configuration
- Database initialization on first run
- Volume persistence for data
- Management utilities for operations

Documentation:
- Updated README with complete instructions
- Production deployment guide
- Clear troubleshooting section
- API reference for all new tools

"typeorm": "^0.3.x",
"pg": "^8.x"
// Create entities/Node.entity.ts
@Entity()
export class Node {
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
id: string;
@Column({ unique: true })
nodeType: string;
@Column('text')
sourceCode: string;
// ... etc
}
```
2. **Add Database MCP Tools** (Week 2)
```typescript
// New tools:
- sync_nodes_to_database
- query_nodes_database
- export_nodes_for_training
```
3. **Create Migration Scripts** (Week 2-3)
```bash
npm run migrate:create -- CreateNodesTable
npm run migrate:run
```
4. **Implement Caching Layer** (Week 3)
