| 2 | uv add mcp[cli] | Add MCP SDK with CLI |
| 3 | source venv/bin/activate | Activate virtual environment |
| 4 | server.py | Write your server code |
| 5 | mcp dev server.py | Test and debug MCP server |
| 6 | mcp install server.py | Add it to Claude Desktop |
1. Create the MCP Server
Create a file server.py with the following code:
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP("My UV MCP Server")
@mcp.tool()
def greet(name: str) -> str:
"""Return a greeting message."""
return f"Hello, {name}! 👋"
if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run()
