Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:

bash uv sync

1. Build package distributions:

bash uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

1. Publish to PyPI:

bash uv publish

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:

• Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
• Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

bash npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory path-to/mcp-server-collector run mcp-server-collector

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
