v0.1.2: Improved file path handling & user experience

🚀 Major User Experience Improvements

✅ Smart Workspace File Search

• Intelligent path resolution: Automatically searches your project workspace
• Common directory support: Finds files in data/, measurements/, test_data/, examples/, samples/
• Case-insensitive matching: "DATA.MF4" finds "data.mf4"
• Multiple path formats: Supports filenames, relative paths, and absolute paths

🛠️ Cross-Platform Compatibility

• Works on all platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux
• Proper path handling: Uses pathlib.Path for OS-specific separators
• Workspace-focused: No dependency on user-specific folders

🔍 Enhanced Error Messages

• Helpful file suggestions: Shows available MDF files when target not found
• Clear workspace context: Displays current directory and searched locations
• Actionable tips: Guides users on file placement and path usage

📚 Improved Documentation

• uvx path troubleshooting: Clear instructions for "command not found" errors
• File organization guide: Best practices for workspace structure
• Cross-platform setup: Instructions for Windows, macOS, and Linux

📋 Usage Examples

The server now intelligently finds MDF files with any of these approaches:

# Just the filename - searches workspace automatically
"vehicle_data.mf4"

# Relative path from current directory
"./data/measurements.mf4"

# Absolute path - always works
"/full/path/to/file.mf4"

# Case doesn't matter
"TEST_DATA.MF4" → finds "test_data.mf4"

🏗️ Recommended Workspace Structure

your-project/
├── data.mf4              # ✅ Found automatically
├── data/
│   └── test.mf4          # ✅ Found automatically
├── measurements/
│   └── run1.mf4          # ✅ Found automatically
├── test_data/
├── examples/
└── samples/

🚀 Installation

uvx mcp-server-mdf

Troubleshooting: If you get "command not found", find your uvx path:

which uvx  # macOS/Linux
where uvx  # Windows

Compatible IDEs: VS Code (Continue.dev), Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-enabled environments.

This release significantly reduces the friction of specifying file paths, making the MCP server much more user-friendly for daily development workflows.
