-
-
-
-
-This document catalogs research mistakes discovered in production use, providing specific patterns to avoid and verification strategies to prevent recurrence.
-
-
-
-
-
-**What**: Assuming global configuration means no project-scoping exists
-**Example**: Concluding "MCP servers are configured GLOBALLY only" while missing project-scoped `.mcp.json`
-**Why it happens**: Not explicitly checking all known configuration patterns
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-**CRITICAL**: Verify ALL configuration scopes:
-- User/global scope - System-wide configuration
-- Project scope - Project-level configuration files
-- Local scope - Project-specific user overrides
-- Workspace scope - IDE/tool workspace settings
-- Environment scope - Environment variables
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Asking researchers to "search for documentation" without specifying where
-**Example**: "Research MCP documentation" -> finds outdated community blog instead of official docs
-**Why it happens**: Vague research instructions don't specify exact sources
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-Official sources (use WebFetch):
-- https://exact-url-to-official-docs
-- https://exact-url-to-api-reference
-
-Search queries (use WebSearch):
-- "specific search query {current_year}"
-- "another specific query {current_year}"
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Finding archived/old documentation and concluding feature doesn't exist
-**Example**: Finding 2022 docs saying "feature not supported" when current version added it
-**Why it happens**: Not checking multiple sources or recent updates
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-- Check current official documentation
-- Review changelog/release notes for recent updates
-- Verify version numbers and publication dates
-- Cross-reference multiple authoritative sources
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Conflating capabilities across different tools/environments
-**Example**: "Claude Desktop supports X" does not mean "Claude Code supports X"
-**Why it happens**: Not explicitly checking each environment separately
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-- Claude Desktop capabilities
-- Claude Code capabilities
-- VS Code extension capabilities
-- API/SDK capabilities
-Document which environment supports which features
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Making definitive "X is not possible" statements without official source verification
-**Example**: "Folder-scoped MCP configuration is not supported" (missing `.mcp.json`)
-**Why it happens**: Drawing conclusions from absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-For any "X is not possible" or "Y is the only way" statement:
-- [ ] Is this verified by official documentation stating it explicitly?
-- [ ] Have I checked for recent updates that might change this?
-- [ ] Have I verified all possible approaches/mechanisms?
-- [ ] Am I confusing "I didn't find it" with "it doesn't exist"?
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Investigating open-ended scope without enumerating known possibilities first
-**Example**: "Research configuration options" instead of listing specific options to verify
-**Why it happens**: Not creating explicit checklist of items to investigate
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-Enumerate ALL known options FIRST:
-- Option 1: [specific item]
-- Option 2: [specific item]
-- Option 3: [specific item]
-- Check for additional unlisted options
-
-For each option above, document:
-- Existence (confirmed/not found/unclear)
-- Official source URL
-- Current status (active/deprecated/beta)
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Relying on a single source for critical claims
-**Example**: Using only Stack Overflow answer from 2021 for current best practices
-**Why it happens**: Not cross-referencing multiple authoritative sources
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-For critical claims, require multiple sources:
-- [ ] Official documentation (primary)
-- [ ] Release notes/changelog (for currency)
-- [ ] Additional authoritative source (for verification)
-- [ ] Contradiction check (ensure sources agree)
-
-```
-
-
-
-**What**: Assuming search results are complete and authoritative
-**Example**: First Google result is outdated but assumed current
-**Why it happens**: Not verifying publication dates and source authority
-**Prevention**:
-```xml
-
-For each source consulted:
-- [ ] Publication/update date verified (prefer recent/current)
-- [ ] Source authority confirmed (official docs, not blogs)
-- [ ] Version relevance checked (matches current version)
-- [ ] Multiple search queries tried (not just one)
-
-```
-
-
-
-
-
-
-**Warning**: Every investigation succeeds perfectly
-**Problem**: Real research encounters dead ends, ambiguity, and unknowns
-**Action**: Expect honest reporting of limitations, contradictions, and gaps
-
-
-
-**Warning**: All findings presented as equally certain
-**Problem**: Can't distinguish verified facts from educated guesses
-**Action**: Require confidence levels (High/Medium/Low) for key findings
-
-
-
-**Warning**: "According to documentation..." without specific URL
-**Problem**: Can't verify claims or check for updates
-**Action**: Require actual URLs for all official documentation claims
-
-
-
-**Warning**: "X cannot do Y" or "Z is the only way" without citation
-**Problem**: Strong claims require strong evidence
-**Action**: Flag for verification against official sources
-
-
-
-**Warning**: Verification checklist lists 4 items, output covers 2
-**Problem**: Systematic gaps in coverage
-**Action**: Ensure all enumerated items addressed or marked "not found"
-
-
-
-
-
-When research gaps occur:
-
-1. **Document the gap**
- - What was missed or incorrect?
- - What was the actual correct information?
- - What was the impact?
-
-2. **Root cause analysis**
- - Why wasn't it caught?
- - Which verification step would have prevented it?
- - What pattern does this reveal?
-
-3. **Update this document**
- - Add new pitfall entry
- - Update relevant checklists
- - Share lesson learned
-
-
-
-
-Before submitting research, verify:
-
-- [ ] All enumerated items investigated (not just some)
-- [ ] Negative claims verified with official docs
-- [ ] Multiple sources cross-referenced for critical claims
-- [ ] URLs provided for all official documentation
-- [ ] Publication dates checked (prefer recent/current)
-- [ ] Tool/environment-specific variations documented
-- [ ] Confidence levels assigned honestly
-- [ ] Assumptions distinguished from verified facts
-- [ ] "What might I have missed?" review completed
-
-**Living Document**: Update after each significant research gap
-**Lessons From**: MCP configuration research gap (missed `.mcp.json`)
