Prerequisites

Before using this MCP server, you need to install either uvx or uv, which are modern Python package and project management tools.

Installing uv (Recommended)

uv is a fast Python package installer and resolver. It includes uvx for running Python applications.

On macOS and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

On Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Alternative Installation Methods:

Using Homebrew (macOS):

brew install uv

Using pip:

pip install uv

Verifying Installation

After installation, verify that uv and uvx are available:

# Check uv version
uv --version

# Check uvx version  
uvx --version

Both commands should return version information. If you get "command not found" errors, you may need to restart your terminal or add the installation directory to your PATH.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Restart your terminal after installation
2. Check that the installation directory is in your PATH
3. On macOS/Linux, the default installation adds uv to ~/.cargo/bin/
4. Refer to the official uv documentation for more detailed installation instructions
