3. One-click Installation

# Run the installation script (recommended)
./install.sh

# Or install manually
uv sync
cp .env.example .env
# Edit the .env file and fill in your Alibaba Cloud credentials

4. Configure Environment Variables

Edit the .env file:

ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key_id"

Amazon Q CLI Configuration

Add the following configuration to ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server": {
      "timeout": 30000,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/alicloud-ops-mcp",
        "run",
        "python",
        "complete_fastmcp_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Important Note

Replace /absolute/path/to/alicloud-ops-mcp with the actual absolute path of the project.

Configuration Example

Assume the project is located at /home/user/alicloud-ops-mcp:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server": {
      "timeout": 30000,
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/home/user/alicloud-ops-mcp",
        "run",
        "python",
        "complete_fastmcp_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

uv sync --dev

# Run tests
uv run pytest

# Run the server
uv run python complete_fastmcp_server.py

# Add new dependencies
uv add package-name

# Add development dependencies

Python Version Management

The project specifies the Python version requirements in pyproject.toml:

requires-python = ">=3.10"

uv will automatically:

• Detect and install the appropriate Python version
• Create an isolated virtual environment
• Manage all dependencies
• Ensure cross-platform compatibility

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Permission denied (os error 13)

Cause: Configuration error or permission issue Solution:

# Ensure using the uv command instead of the direct python path
uv run python complete_fastmcp_server.py

# Check if the project path is correct
pwd

# Ensure the script has execution permissions
chmod +x complete_fastmcp_server.py

2. Python Version Incompatibility

Error message: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fastmcp>=2.8.0 Solution:

# uv will automatically handle the Python version, no need to install manually
uv sync

# If there are still issues, clean and reinstall
uv clean
uv sync

3. Dependency Installation Failure

Solution:

# Clean the cache and reinstall
uv clean
uv sync

# View detailed error information
uv sync --verbose

4. Environment Variables Not Loaded

Solution:

# Ensure the .env file exists and has the correct format
ls -la .env
cat .env

# Check the environment variable format
uv run python -c "
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
print('Access Key ID:', os.getenv('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'Not found'))
print('Region:', os.getenv('ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION', 'Not found'))
"

5. MCP Server Fails to Start

Solution:

# Check the Amazon Q CLI configuration
cat ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json

# Verify if the path is correct
ls -la /absolute/path/to/alicloud-ops-mcp/complete_fastmcp_server.py

# Test direct server startup
cd /absolute/path/to/alicloud-ops-mcp
uv run python complete_fastmcp_server.py

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging:

# Set the environment variable to enable debugging
export FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
uv run python complete_fastmcp_server.py

# Or set it in the .env file
echo "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG" >> .env

Verify Configuration

Run a full environment check:

# Run the verification script
uv run python verify_setup.py

# Check specific components
uv run python -c "
import sys
print(f'Python version: {sys.version}')

try:
    import fastmcp
    print(f'FastMCP version: {fastmcp.__version__}')
except ImportError as e:
    print(f'FastMCP import error: {e}')

try:
    from alibaba_cloud_ops_mcp_server import server
    print('Server module loaded successfully')
except ImportError as e:
    print(f'Server module error: {e}')
"

Performance Optimization

Startup Optimization

# Precompile Python bytecode
uv run python -m compileall .

# Use faster startup options
uv run python -O complete_fastmcp_server.py

Memory Optimization

Add the following to the .env file:

# Limit memory usage
PYTHONHASHSEED=0
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
