🚀 Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/gabrieldsguilherme/mcp-server.git
cd mcp-server

# Create and activate a virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx

⚙️ Configuration

1. Open the Claude Desktop Configuration File

Open the Claude desktop application configuration file located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json using a text editor. If the file does not exist, create it first.

2. Update the Configuration File Content

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "weather": {
            "command": "/Absolute path to the parent folder/uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/Absolute path to the parent folder/weather",
                "run",
                "weather.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

This configuration instructs the Claude desktop version: a. There is an MCP server named "weather". b. Start the server by running uv --directory /Absolute path to the parent folder/weather run weather.py.
