MCP Server Setup Guide

A step-by-step guide to set up and run a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using FastMCP.

Installation Steps

  • UV is a fast Python package manager. Install it using pip:
pip install uv
  • Verify installation:
uv --version
  • Create a new directory for your MCP server and initialize it:
mkdir mcp-server
cd mcp-server
uv init .
  • This creates the necessary project structure with:
    • pyproject.toml - Project configuration
    • .python-version - Python version specification
    • README.md - Project documentation
  • Add FastMCP to your project dependencies:
uv add fastmcp
  • Create a file named main.py with your server code:
  • Use the MCP Inspector to test your server interactively:
uv run fastmcp dev main.py
  • To run your server normally:
uv run fastmcp run main.py
  • Automatically configure Claude Desktop to use your MCP server:
uv run fastmcp install claude-desktop main.py
