npm run performance:setup

# Verify installation
npm run test:quick-check

Step 2: Run Basic Validation Suite (15 minutes)

# Run functional tests for core MCP tools
npm run test:functional:basic

# Run performance baseline tests
npm run test:performance:baseline

# Run security scan
npm run test:security:basic

# Run UX validation
npm run test:ux:basic

Step 3: Review Results (5 minutes)

# Generate evaluation report
npm run evaluation:report

# Open dashboard
npm run evaluation:dashboard
