# Project State

## Project Reference

See: .planning/PROJECT.md (updated 2026-04-14)

**Core value:** A user can install reddit-mcp once, complete setup once, and then have a working MCP integration that starts reliably from their AI client.
**Current focus:** Phase 1 installer/setup architecture simplification

## Current Position

Phase: 01 (installer-and-setup-architecture-simplification) — Planned
Plan: 4 plans across 4 waves
Status: Ready to execute
Last activity: 2026-04-14 -- Planned the installer/setup architecture simplification phase

Progress: [#---------] 10%

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

- Standardize on uv for install/runtime management
- Use `uv tool install` as the primary install path
- Use `reddit-mcp serve` as the only supported runtime command
- Keep automatic AI client registration
- Fail setup if any required phase fails
- Fail setup if no supported AI client is detected

### Pending Todos

- Execute Plan 01 to replace the CLI/setup/runtime contract
- Execute Plan 02 to refactor shared client registration
- Execute Plan 03 to simplify hosted installer wrappers
- Execute Plan 04 to finish verification/docs/config cleanup

### Blockers/Concerns

- Current shipped install/setup logic still contains false-success fallback and multi-runtime drift
- Migration behavior for existing pip/launcher installs still needs to be designed during Phase 1
