Major Changes

README.md:

  • Moved Docker to primary "Quick Start" section at the top
  • Relocated Python setup to "Alternative Setup: Python (For Developers)"
  • Added clear "Why Docker?" section explaining benefits
  • Created comparison table: Docker vs Python deployment
  • Simplified user journey with step-by-step Docker setup
  • Emphasized Docker as recommended method for end users
  • Python method now clearly marked as alternative for developers

USAGE.md:

  • Complete restructure with Docker-first approach
  • Updated Table of Contents to reflect new priority
  • "Quick Start with Docker" now the first section
  • Comprehensive "Why Docker?" explanation with 6 key benefits
  • Enhanced each tool section with "Via Claude Desktop" examples
  • Added practical Integration Examples using Claude Desktop
  • Moved Python setup to "Alternative Setup: Python (For Developers)"
  • Expanded Deployment Comparison table with detailed feature comparison
  • Added Claude Desktop troubleshooting section
  • Performance tips highlighting Docker advantages

Documentation Philosophy

Docker (Recommended):

  • Target audience: End users, production deployments
  • Zero Python knowledge required
  • One-command setup and updates
  • Cross-platform consistency
  • Complete isolation and security

Python (Alternative):

  • Target audience: Developers, contributors
  • Required for code modifications
  • Easier debugging and customization
  • Direct access to source code

Benefits for Users

✅ Clear guidance on which deployment method to choose ✅ Reduced complexity for non-technical users
✅ Better alignment with modern deployment practices ✅ Follows mcp-atlassian's successful Docker-first pattern ✅ Maintains full Python documentation for developers ✅ Improved onboarding experience with fewer steps

Deployment Method Selection

Users can now clearly see:

  • When to use Docker (most users)
  • When to use Python (developers only)
  • Detailed comparison of both approaches
  • Specific use cases for each method
