FAQ from Claude Project Coordinator

What dependencies does Claude Project Coordinator require?

The server is built with Swift using no external dependencies. It requires Swift 5.9+ on macOS.

Where is project data stored?

All data is stored locally in structured JSON files under KnowledgeBase/projects/ and analytics data under KnowledgeBase/analytics/.

How can I customize security settings?

Security settings (allowed directories, input length limits) are hardcoded in Sources/ProjectCoordinator/SecurityValidator.swift. You can edit that file, rebuild the project with swift build -c release, and restart Claude Desktop.

What transport protocol does it use?

Claude Project Coordinator communicates with Claude Desktop over stdio using the MCP protocol (JSON‑RPC).

Are there any known bugs in recent versions?

A bug in v1.3.0–v1.3.1 caused analytics to re‑migrate on every restart, making all project creation dates show today’s date. This is fixed in v1.3.2; users can run ./scripts/repair-analytics-dates.sh to correct affected dates.
