• uv for package management
• Python 3.13+ (uv python install 3.13)

:gear: Setup Python environment

Install all dependencies and activate the virtual environment

uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

:rocket: How to use

The server can be run in multiple ways:

:robot: Visual Studio Code

The configuration to run this server in VSCode is already included in .vscode/mcp.json.

All you need to do is Open VS Code Copilot Edits (Agent Mode)

[!NOTE] At the time of writing this, MCP is only available in Visual Studio Code Insiders version

:microscope: Development Mode

The fastest way to test and debug your server is with the MCP Inspector:

or you can run your server directly
