cognee-mcp/README.md (4)
12-17: Add missing prerequisites (Node.js & Poetry).The Smithery installer relies on
npx, and the development workflow later usespoetry, yet neither tool is listed in the prerequisites. Readers following the guide on a fresh machine may hit confusing “command not found” errors.- Homebrew (macOS/Linux) - Python 3.9+ +- Node.js 18 + (required for the Smithery CLI) +- Poetry (required for building local Cognee wheels) - Claude Desktop installed
40-43: Mention Node.js install step or link to docs for Smithery path.After adding Node.js to the prerequisites, consider a one-liner here (or a link) showing how to install it (
brew install node,asdf, etc.). This keeps the “automated” path truly one-command for new contributors.
59-75: Store secrets in environment variables, not plaintext JSON.The sample shows an actual key-value pair for
LLM_API_KEY. Even as a placeholder, newcomers often copy–paste and commit real keys by accident. Swap to an interpolated env-var to reinforce best practice:- "LLM_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here" + "LLM_API_KEY": "${LLM_API_KEY}"…and remind users to export the variable in their shell or a
.envfile that’s git-ignored.
121-125: Specify a language for the fenced code block (markdownlint MD040).-``` +```text http://localhost:5173?timeout=120000This silences the linter and renders the block consistently across Markdown viewers. </blockquote></details> </blockquote></details> <details> <summary>📜 Review details</summary> **Configuration used: CodeRabbit UI** **Review profile: CHILL** **Plan: Pro** <details> <summary>📥 Commits</summary> Reviewing files that changed from the base of the PR and between 96d1111d08d0d07f6c40d60470d2d4aec38880f8 and 39e80e5d3ee4705034f925acd11c9b2e5a395138. </details> <details> <summary>📒 Files selected for processing (1)</summary> * `cognee-mcp/README.md` (1 hunks) </details> <details> <summary>🧰 Additional context used</summary> <details> <summary>🪛 markdownlint-cli2 (0.17.2)</summary> <details> <summary>cognee-mcp/README.md</summary> 123-123: Fenced code blocks should have a language specified null (MD040, fenced-code-language) </details> </details> </details> </details> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment by CodeRabbit for review status -->

Incorrect Poetry flag – -o is not supported.
poetry build accepts --output / --output-dir; the short -o flag will raise “unknown option” on recent Poetry versions.
-poetry build -o ./cognee-mcp/sources
+poetry build --format wheel --output ./cognee-mcp/sources📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In cognee-mcp/README.md around lines 97 to 101, the poetry build command uses
the unsupported short flag '-o'. Replace '-o' with the correct long flag
'--output' or '--output-dir' to specify the output directory for the build
artifacts, ensuring compatibility with recent Poetry versions.
