project-setup

A setup guide for running the PCIC Management System on a developer’s computer. It covers the client, server, MongoDB database, environment settings, file uploads, and local development servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing the project, creating its local configuration, preparing an optional admin user, and running the frontend and backend locally.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from installing dependencies, connecting the database, configuring secrets, and starting the application. MongoDB is the database the project uses to store its data.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

project-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

PCIC Project Setup Guide

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ and npm
  • MongoDB (local install or MongoDB Atlas account)
  • Git

Quick Setup

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone <repo-url>
cd PCIC-Management-System

# 2. Install dependencies
cd client && npm install
cd ../server && npm install

# 3. Configure environment
cd ../server
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your MongoDB URI and JWT secret

# 4. Create the uploads directory
mkdir uploads

# 5. Seed an admin user (optional)
node src/seed.js

# 6. Run both services
# Terminal 1:
cd server && npm run dev
# Terminal 2:
cd client && npm run dev

Environment Variables (server/.env)

Variable Required Description
MONGODB_URI Yes MongoDB connection string
JWT_SECRET Yes Random string for signing tokens
PORT No Server port (default: 5000)
SMTP_HOST No Email SMTP host
SMTP_PORT No Email SMTP port
SMTP_USER No Email sender address
SMTP_PASS No Email app password

SMTP variables are optional — emails are skipped if not configured.

URLs

Troubleshooting

  • CORS errors: The Vite dev server proxies /api to port 5000 — make sure the server is running.
  • Auth errors: Clear pcic_token from localStorage and re-login.
  • MongoDB connection: Ensure your MONGODB_URI is correct and MongoDB is running.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
