Initialization

To add the mcp server to claude run:
claude mcp add
Give a server a chosen name when prompted.

I chose for the server to be available in the project directory as recommended.

For the server command, i use the entire binary for my uv installation:
/Users/baw/.local/bin/uv

For command arguements, use:
--directory /Users/baw/Desktop/dev/mcp/first_mcp_server run main.py

Continue without environment variables since a .env file I already declared. Confirm and the server should be installed.

Testing

To list the available mcp servers run:
clause mcp list
The new server first_mcp server should be listed.

We can run claude code using command:
claude

Then test with a query like:

> create a new function that implements a chroma db vector database with langchain. Make sure to use the latest integration

Run MCP Inspector to debug Server with:
npx @modelcontextprotocal/inspector uv run main.py
