+**RESTART CLAUDE CODE** to use the new optimized servers. The performance improvement will be dramatic!
+
+## ๐Ÿ”ง Signal MCP Server Bug Fix (December 24, 2024)
+
+**CRITICAL BUG FIXED**: The Signal MCP server was crashing with "failed to read encrypted database: file is not a database" error.
+
+**Root Cause**: The MCP Signal server was using the Go SQLCipher library directly with incompatible connection parameters, while the working Signal extractor implementation uses the command-line `sqlcipher` tool.
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+1. **Switched to command-line approach**: Updated `pkg/signal/server.go` to use `exec.Command("sqlcipher")` instead of Go library
+2. **Implemented proper key decryption**: Added AES-CBC + PBKDF2 key decryption matching the working implementation in `/Users/xlgmokha/src/mokhan.ca/xlgmokha/christine/pkg/signal/extractor.go`
+3. **Fixed SQL query formatting**: Resolved JSON parsing issues with SQLCipher output
+4. **Added integration tests**: Signal server now included in test suite with graceful fallback
+5. **Added dependencies**: `golang.org/x/crypto/pbkdf2` for proper key decryption
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `pkg/signal/server.go`: Complete rewrite of database access method (lines 149-219)
+- `test/integration_test.go`: Added Signal server test coverage (lines 84-88, 385-427)
+- `go.mod`: Added crypto dependency
+
+**Testing**:
+```bash
+# Test Signal conversation listing
+echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "signal_list_conversations", "arguments": {}}}' | mcp-signal
+
+# Expected output: Recent conversations with names and timestamps
+# Example: "Christine Michaels-Igbokwe (last active: 2025-06-23 22:25)"
+```
+
+**Result**: Signal MCP server now successfully accesses encrypted Signal Desktop database and can:
+- List recent conversations with contacts and timestamps
+- Search messages by text content
+- Get conversation details
+- Provide database statistics
+
+**Integration**: Signal server is now included in the main integration test suite and will be tested automatically with `make test`.
