## Running locally

### Stdio (default)

```bash
npm install
npm start
```

The server communicates over stdio using the MCP protocol.

### HTTP transport

```bash
npm run start:http
# or with a custom port:
node server.js --http 8080
```

The server listens on `http://localhost:3000/mcp` (default port 3000) using MCP Streamable HTTP transport.

You can then diff against it with the CLI:

```bash
npx mcpdiff diff --live contracts/baseline.mcpc.json --url http://localhost:3000/mcp
```

/**
* Contacts MCP Server — v1.0.0
* Contacts MCP Server — v2.0.0
*
* A minimal MCP server that exposes contact management tools.
* Used as a demo for mcpdiff. This is the "before" version.
* The "after" version with deliberate changes to demonstrate mcpdiff.
*
* Tools:
* - create_contact: Create a new contact
* - get_contact: Get a contact by ID
* - search_contacts: Search contacts by query
* - delete_contact: Delete a contact
* - update_contact: Update a contact
* Changes from v1.0.0:
* 🔴 BREAKING create_contact — new required param "phone"
* 🔴 BREAKING delete_contact — tool removed entirely
* 🔴 BREAKING update_contact — "email" type narrowed (was string|url, now just email)
* 🟡 WARNING search_contacts — description changed (simulates potential poisoning)
* 🟢 SAFE export_contacts — new tool added
* 🟢 SAFE get_contact — optional param "include_notes" added
