📚 Improve Documentation and Examples

Problem

The current documentation is basic and lacks comprehensive examples, making it difficult for new users to understand how to effectively use the DevRev MCP server. Users need better guidance on setup, configuration, and practical usage scenarios.

Proposed Solution

Enhance the documentation with detailed examples, troubleshooting guides, and comprehensive API reference to improve the developer experience.

Acceptance Criteria

📖 Enhanced README

• Add detailed installation instructions with prerequisites
• Include step-by-step setup guide with screenshots/code blocks
• Add troubleshooting section for common issues
• Include performance tips and best practices
• Add badges for build status, coverage, version, etc.

🔍 API Documentation

• Document all available search namespaces (article, issue, ticket, part, dev_user)
• Provide examples for each tool with sample inputs/outputs
• Document required vs optional parameters for each tool
• Add schema documentation for create/update operations
• Include error response examples and meanings

💡 Usage Examples

• Create examples/ directory with practical use cases
• Example: "Search for customer issues related to authentication"
• Example: "Create and update a support ticket workflow"
• Example: "Retrieve and analyze issue patterns"
• Example: "Bulk operations and automation scripts"

🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide

• Common authentication errors and solutions
• API rate limiting and handling
• Network connectivity issues
• Invalid parameter format examples
• Environment variable configuration problems
• Claude Desktop integration issues

🎯 Advanced Configuration

• Document all environment variables
• Explain different deployment options (local, Docker, cloud)
• Performance tuning recommendations
• Security best practices for API key management
• Integration patterns with other MCP servers

📋 Developer Documentation

• Contributing guidelines (CONTRIBUTING.md)
• Code style and formatting standards
• How to add new tools/features
• Release process documentation
• Architecture overview and design decisions

Technical Implementation Notes

• Use clear, concise language suitable for developers of all levels
• Include copy-paste ready code examples
• Add visual aids (diagrams, screenshots) where helpful
• Ensure examples are tested and working
• Use consistent formatting and structure

Example Issues to Address

• "How do I find the right applies_to_part value for creating issues?"
• "What's the difference between issue and ticket types?"
• "How do I handle pagination in search results?"
• "Why am I getting authentication errors?"
