Getting Started

Installing uv Package Manager

Make sure to restart your terminal afterwards to ensure that the uv command gets picked up.

Project Setup

1. Create and initialize the project:

# Create a new directory for our project
uv init mcp-server
cd mcp-server

# Create virtual environment and activate it
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx

2. Create the server implementation file:

touch main.py

Running the Server

1. Start the MCP server:

uv run main.py

2. The server will start and be ready to accept connections

Connecting to Claude Desktop

1. Install Claude Desktop from the official website
2. Configure Claude Desktop to use your MCP server:

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server": {
            "command": "uv",  # It's better to use the absolute path to the uv command
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/mcp-server",
                "run",
                "main.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop

Troubleshooting

If your server isn't being picked up by Claude Desktop:

1. Check the configuration file path and permissions
2. Verify the absolute path in the configuration is correct
3. Ensure uv is properly installed and accessible
4. Check Claude Desktop logs for any error messages
