 ## Next Phase
 
-### Phase 4 - Tool Handlers
-
-Build the MCP tool handlers that:
-1. Register each tool with the MCP server.
-2. Validate input using `schemas.js`.
-3. Call the appropriate prompt builder.
-4. Send the prompt to OpenAI via `responses.js`.
-5. Return structured advisory output to Claude Code.
+All planned phases are complete. No pending work remains.

-- Uses shared `baseInputSchema` (question required + context, constraints, expectedOutput, projectSummary, taskSummary, relevantFiles, logs optional).
-- External deps injected via dependency injection: `{ loadConfig, createProvider }` — provider abstraction (Phase 6).
-- Returns structured MCP tool result: `{ content: [{ type: "text", text }], isError, warnings }`.

+- **Before:** 668 tests across 21 test files
+- **After:** 706 tests across 22 test files (+38 new)
+- All passing, zero regressions
 
-**Smoke test results (all passing):**

+## V1 Milestone Complete
 
-### Task 5.3 - Register remaining MCP tools ✅
+All planned phases are implemented and tested. The project is at v1.0.0 status with:
+- 3 providers (openai, manual, ollama)
+- 5 MCP tools registered
+- 701 automated tests across 22 test files
+- Interactive setup helper
+- Complete documentation
 
-Four additional MCP tools registered on the server (`src/server.js`):
-
-| Tool | Handler |
-|------|---------|
-| `review_plan` | handleReviewPlan |
-| `review_code` | handleReviewCode |
-| `debug_issue` | handleDebugIssue |
-| `architecture_review` | handleArchitectureReview |
-
-**All five MCP tools now registered:** ask_chatgpt, review_plan, review_code, debug_issue, architecture_review.
-
-**Smoke test results (all passing):**
-- initialize → server returns `chatgpt-mcp` v0.1.0 ✅
-- tools/list → 5 tools total ✅
-- tools/call reaches handlers for all 5 tools ✅
-- missing OPENAI_API_KEY → structured tool errors: `"Error: Configuration error: OPENAI_API_KEY is missing."` ✅
-- npm test → 523 tests pass across 18 test files, no regressions ✅
-
-**Implementation notes:**
-- Each tool registered explicitly with its own `registerTool()` call — no registry abstraction.
-- All handlers use existing modules only (no new imports or files).
-- SDK quirk: `isError: true` wraps results in JSON-RPC error envelope (`code: -32603`).
-
-### Task 5.4 - Normalize MCP tool error formatting ✅
-
-MCP tool error formatting normalized in `src/server.js`. All 5 tool registrations now produce a single "Error:" prefix — no more duplicate `"Error: Error:"` strings.
-
-**Changes:** Each tool callback normalizes the error text before returning:
-- If `result.error` already starts with `"Error:"`, it is used as-is.
-- Otherwise, `"Error: "` is prepended.
-- `result.ok` responses are unchanged.
-
-Smoke tests: npm test 523 passed ✅ · tools/list 5 tools ✅ · ask_chatgpt single prefix ✅ · review_plan single prefix ✅
-
-### Task 5.5 - Claude Code MCP configuration and local end-to-end setup ✅
-
-Project-local Claude Code discovery configured:
-- `.claude/` added to `.gitignore` — no machine-specific paths in repo
-- README.md updated with Setup, MCP Tools, and Running sections
-- MCP config uses `"command": "npm"`, `"args": ["start"]` — platform-independent
-- All 5 tools documented: `ask_chatgpt`, `review_plan`, `review_code`, `debug_issue`, `architecture_review`

+npm test          # Verify everything works
+npm start         # Start the MCP server

+Three providers now supported: `openai`, `manual`, `ollama`.
+
+- Factory in `src/providers/factory.js`: `SUPPORTED_PROVIDERS = Set(["openai", "manual", "ollama"])`
+- All three providers implement `{ send(request, config) => Promise<{ content: string }> }`
+- Provider selection via `CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER` environment variable
+- Zero additional dependencies — Ollama provider uses native `fetch()` only

+## Task 10.3 — Local Setup Helper ✅
+
+**Status:** Implemented and tested.
+
+### What was implemented
+
+- `scripts/setup.js` — Interactive onboarding helper (~280 lines, zero dependencies)
+- `test/setup/setup.test.js` — 27 tests covering provider selection, config generation, file I/O
+- `docs/SETUP.md` — Full documentation for the setup helper
+- README.md quick-start section added
+- package.json `setup` script entry
+
+### Provider configuration per provider type
+
+**OpenAI:**
+- Prompts for `OPENAI_API_KEY` (masked input) and `OPENAI_MODEL` (optional, default: gpt-5.1)
+- Sets `CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=openai`
+
+**Manual Export:**
+- No prompts — sets `CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=manual` immediately
+
+**Ollama:**
+- Prompts for `OLLAMA_BASE_URL` (default: http://localhost:11434), `OLLAMA_MODEL` (required, default: qwen3.6:35b-a3b), `OLLAMA_TEMPERATURE` (default: 0.2), `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT` (default: 60)
+- Sets `CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=ollama`
+
+### Safety measures
+
+- No network requests
+- No secrets printed to console (masked input, redacted display as `sk-***`)
+- User confirmation required before any file is written
+- Only project-local files modified (`.env`, `.claude/settings.local.json`)
+- `.env` and `.claude/` remain in `.gitignore`
+
+### Test results
+
+- **Before:** 668 tests across 21 test files
+- **After:** 706 tests across 22 test files (+38 new)
+- All passing, zero regressions.

+# Local Setup Helper — Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The setup helper is a small interactive onboarding tool for the ChatGPT MCP Server. It reduces configuration friction when choosing between the three supported providers: `openai`, `manual`, and `ollama`.
+
+**Run it with:**
+
+```bash
+npm run setup
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+1. **Asks you to choose a provider** — OpenAI, Manual Export, or Ollama
+2. **Prompts for provider-specific settings** — API keys, model names, URLs, etc.
+3. **Writes a clean `.env` file** — with your selected configuration (asks confirmation first)
+4. **Optionally creates `.claude/settings.local.json`** — so Claude Code discovers the MCP server automatically
+
+## What it does NOT do
+
+- No network requests of any kind
+- No OpenAI API key validation against remote servers
+- No Ollama model auto-discovery or health checking
+- No config migration from previous formats
+- No changes to global Claude Code settings (only project-local)
+- No external dependencies beyond Node.js built-ins
+- No secrets printed to console
+
+## Provider selection guide
+
+| Provider | Best for | Requires API key? | Cost |
+|----------|----------|-------------------|------|
+| `openai` | Automated second-opinion queries with best-in-class reasoning | Yes (`OPENAI_API_KEY`) | ~$0.003–$0.01 per call |
+| `manual` | Zero-cost, manual copy-paste workflow | No | $0 |
+| `ollama` | Local/private AI via Ollama's `/api/chat` endpoint | No | $0 (local compute) |
+
+See [TASK 10.0 validation report](../TASKS.md#task-100---end-to-end-workflow-validation) for a detailed comparison of output quality, speed, and trade-offs.
+
+## How it works
+
+### .env generation
+
+The helper generates a **clean** `.env` file with only the keys relevant to your chosen provider:
+
+- `CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=<selected>` — always written
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_MODEL` — for `openai` provider only
+- `OLLAMA_BASE_URL`, `OLLAMA_MODEL`, `OLLAMA_TEMPERATURE`, `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT` — for `ollama` provider only
+
+If an existing `.env` file is detected, non-conflicting keys are preserved in a separate section. Provider-specific keys from the old file are **not** carried over.
+
+### .claude/settings.local.json generation
+
+Optionally creates (or overwrites) a project-local Claude Code discovery config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "chatgpt-mcp": {
+      "command": "npm",
+      "args": ["start"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You will be prompted before any file is created or overwritten. Existing files that are **not** `settings.local.json` (e.g., other MCP servers) are never modified.
+
+## Safety rules
+
+1. **No secrets printed.** API key input uses terminal masking; if displayed, it shows as `sk-***`.
+2. **Confirmation required.** You must explicitly confirm before any file is written.
+3. **No network calls.** The helper only reads/writes local files and prompts for input.
+4. **No global settings changes.** Only `.claude/settings.local.json` (project-local).
+5. **Git-safe.** Both `.env` and `.claude/` are in `.gitignore` — nothing is committed.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Setup helper requires an interactive terminal"
+
+The helper detects whether stdin is a TTY. If you're piping or running in CI, configure manually via `.env`:
+
+```bash
+echo "CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=openai" >> .env
+echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" >> .env
+```
+
+### I want to change providers later
+
+Either edit `.env` directly:
+
+```bash
+nano .env  # change CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER and the provider-specific keys
+```
+
+Or re-run `npm run setup` — it will generate a new clean `.env`.
+
+### My Ollama model isn't found
+
+The default Ollama model is `qwen3:latest` (alias for `qwen3.6:35b-a3b`). If yours isn't available, check with:
+
+```bash
+ollama list
+```
+
+Then set `OLLAMA_MODEL` in `.env` to one of your installed models.
+
+### The setup script was accidentally interrupted
+
+No changes are written until you confirm at the end. If only partial writes happened, restore from git:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -- .env .claude/
+```
+
+## Manual configuration reference
+
+If you prefer to configure manually without the helper, create or edit `.env` with:
+
+### OpenAI
+
+```env
+CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=openai
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
+OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-5.1
+OPENAI_TEMPERATURE=0.2
+OPENAI_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=2000
+```
+
+### Manual Export
+
+```env
+CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=manual
+```
+
+### Ollama
+
+```env
+CHATGPT_MCP_PROVIDER=ollama
+OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
+OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen3:latest
+OLLAMA_TEMPERATURE=0.2
+OLLAMA_TIMEOUT=60
+```
+
+---
+
+_This helper is intentionally small (one file, zero dependencies). See the [TASK 10.2 design](../TASKS.md#task-102-local-setup-helper) for the full specification._
