+# Strapi MCP Server Development Guide
+
+## Build Commands
+- `npm run build` - Build the project
+- `npm run build:watch` - Build with watch mode
+- `npm run start` - Start the server from build
+- `npm run dev` - Run with ts-node
+- `npm run dev:watch` - Run with nodemon watch mode
+- `npm run prepublishOnly` - Prepare for publishing
+
+## Code Style Guidelines
+- **TypeScript**: Use strict mode with ES2022 target
+- **Imports**: Use ES modules (import/export)
+- **Naming**: camelCase for variables/functions, PascalCase for types/interfaces
+- **Error Handling**: Use try/catch blocks with specific error types
+- **Types**: Prefer explicit typing over implicit, use interfaces for object shapes
+- **Comments**: JSDoc for public functions, inline for complex logic
+- **Async**: Use async/await pattern for asynchronous code
+- **Structure**: Group related functions together, export interfaces/types
+- **Formatting**: 2-space indentation, semicolons required
+
+## Project Architecture
+- Server implements Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Strapi CMS
+- Serves as middleware between AI assistants and Strapi instances
+- Handles schema introspection, REST operations, media uploads
+- Version 2.2.0 focuses on security and version compatibility
+- Supports both Strapi v4 and v5 with automatic version detection
+
+## Key Features
+- Content type and component schema introspection
+- REST API operations with version-specific adaptations
+- Media upload and processing with format conversion
+- Strict write protection policy for secure operations
+- Comprehensive documentation in server capabilities
+- Multiple server configuration support
+
+## Tools
+- **strapi_list_servers** - List configured Strapi servers
+- **strapi_get_content_types** - Get schema for all content types
+- **strapi_get_components** - Get component schema with pagination
+- **strapi_rest** - Execute REST API operations with validation
+- **strapi_upload_media** - Upload media with processing options
+
+## Strapi Version Differences
+- **v4**: Numeric IDs, nested attributes, data wrapper in responses
+- **v5**: Document-based IDs, flat structure, direct attribute access
+
+## Security Model
+- All write operations require explicit user authorization
+- Protected operations: POST, PUT, DELETE, media uploads
+- Strict validation and security policy enforcement
+- JWT authentication for all Strapi interactions
