Quick Start: MCP Client Configuration

Prerequisites

Required: uv Installation

This server requires uv, a modern Python package manager. If you don’t already have uv installed:

# Install UV (macOS/Linux)
curl -sSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install UV (Windows PowerShell)
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

For more installation options, visit the official uv installation guide at astral.sh/uv.

Installation Methods

Method 1: Direct execution with uvx (Recommended)

# Run directly without installing a global binary
uvx code-understanding-mcp-server

This launches the server in an isolated environment managed by UV each time.

Method 2: Virtual environment install (Optional)

If you prefer a persistent binary inside a dedicated virtual environment:

# Create a dedicated virtual environment
uv venv ~/.venvs/mcp-code-understanding

# Activate it (macOS/Linux)
source ~/.venvs/mcp-code-understanding/bin/activate

# Install the package into the venv
uv pip install code-understanding-mcp-server

# Run the server
code-understanding-mcp-server

Verify Installation

Depending on your chosen method:

# Method 1 (uvx): runs via uvx; no persistent binary is installed
uvx --version

# Method 2 (venv install): verify the binary inside your venv
which code-understanding-mcp-server
# Expected output example: /Users/username/.venvs/mcp-code-understanding/bin/code-understanding-mcp-server

Configure Your MCP Client

Use one of the following configurations for your MCP client:
