Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
mcp-python-sdk-inmemory-server-testsCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Set up the environment with Node.js via Volta and uv, then run npm install and uv sync --frozen. Execute tests with uv run pytest tests/.. Debug mcpserver.py using the MCP Inspector with uv run mcp dev mcpserver.py. Format code with uv run ruff format . and uv run ruff check --select I --fix ..
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
