# MCP Python SDK - Complete Setup Guide
2+
3+
This guide provides complete setup instructions for the MCP Python SDK project.
4+
5+
## Prerequisites
6+
7+
- **Python**: 3.10 or higher (3.12 recommended)
8+
- **uv**: Package manager (required)
9+
- **Git**: For version control
10+
11+
## Installation
12+
13+
### Step 1: Clone the Repository
14+
15+
```bash
16+
git clone https://github.com/BlackDadd77/python-sdk.git
17+
cd python-sdk
18+
```
19+
20+
### Step 2: Install uv Package Manager
21+
22+
uv is required for managing dependencies. Install it using one of these methods:
23+
24+
**Using pip:**
25+
```bash
26+
pip install uv
27+
```
28+
29+
**Using the official installer (Linux/macOS):**
30+
```bash
31+
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
32+
```
33+
34+
**Using the official installer (Windows):**
35+
```powershell
36+
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
37+
```
38+
39+
**Verify installation:**
40+
```bash
41+
uv --version
42+
```
43+
44+
### Step 3: Sync Project Dependencies
45+
46+
Sync all project dependencies including development and documentation tools:
47+
48+
```bash
49+
uv sync
50+
```
51+
52+
To include CLI tools:
53+
```bash
54+
uv sync --extra cli
55+
```
56+
57+
To include WebSocket support:
58+
```bash
59+
uv sync --extra ws
60+
```
61+
62+
## Development Setup
63+
64+
### Running Tests
65+
66+
The project uses pytest for testing with anyio for async support:
67+
68+
```bash
69+
# Run all tests
70+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest
71+
72+
# Run specific test directory
73+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest tests/server/
74+
75+
# Run with verbose output
76+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest -v
77+
78+
# Stop on first failure
79+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest -x
80+
```
81+
82+
**Note**: WebSocket tests will be skipped if the `ws` extra is not installed.
83+
84+
### Code Quality Checks
85+
86+
#### Linting with Ruff
87+
88+
```bash
89+
# Check for issues
90+
uv run --frozen ruff check .
91+
92+
# Auto-fix issues
93+
uv run --frozen ruff check . --fix
94+
95+
# Format code
96+
uv run --frozen ruff format .
97+
```
98+
99+
#### Type Checking with Pyright
100+
101+
```bash
102+
uv run --frozen pyright
103+
```
104+
105+
**Note**: Pyright may show warnings for optional dependencies like `websockets`. This is expected.
106+
107+
### Building the Project
108+
109+
Build source distribution and wheel:
110+
111+
```bash
112+
uv build
113+
```
114+
115+
Output files will be in the `dist/` directory:
116+
- `mcp-*.tar.gz` (source distribution)
117+
- `mcp-*.whl` (wheel)
118+
119+
### Building Documentation
120+
121+
Build the documentation site with MkDocs:
122+
123+
```bash
124+
uv run --frozen mkdocs build
125+
```
126+
127+
**Note**: Documentation building requires network access to fetch fonts. Use `--strict` to fail on warnings:
128+
129+
```bash
130+
uv run --frozen mkdocs build --strict
131+
```
132+
133+
Serve documentation locally:
134+
135+
```bash
136+
uv run --frozen mkdocs serve
137+
```
138+
139+
Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.
140+
141+

164+
165+
## Development Workflow
166+
167+
### 1. Create a Feature Branch
168+
169+
```bash
170+
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
171+
```
172+
173+
### 2. Make Changes
174+
175+
Follow the coding guidelines in `CLAUDE.md`:
176+
- Use type hints for all code
177+
- Add docstrings to public APIs
178+
- Keep functions focused and small
179+
- Maximum line length: 120 characters
180+
- Use anyio for async testing, not asyncio
181+
182+
### 3. Run Quality Checks
183+
184+
```bash
185+
# Format code
186+
uv run --frozen ruff format .
187+
188+
# Check for issues
189+
uv run --frozen ruff check .
190+
191+
# Type check
192+
uv run --frozen pyright
193+
194+
# Run tests
195+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest
196+
```
197+
198+
### 4. Commit and Push
199+
200+
```bash
201+
git add .
202+
git commit -m "Your descriptive commit message"
203+
git push origin feature/your-feature-name
204+
```
205+
206+
### 5. Create Pull Request
207+
208+
Create a PR on GitHub following the guidelines in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
209+
210+
## Adding Dependencies
211+
212+
### Main Dependencies
213+
214+
```bash
215+
uv add package-name
216+
```
217+
218+
### Development Dependencies
219+
220+
```bash
221+
uv add --dev package-name
222+
```
223+
224+
### Optional Dependencies
225+
226+
```bash
227+
# For CLI support
228+
uv sync --extra cli
229+
230+
# For WebSocket support
231+
uv sync --extra ws
232+
233+
# For Rich output support
234+
uv sync --extra rich
235+
```
236+
237+
## Common Issues
238+
239+
### Issue: Tests fail to discover anyio marks
240+
241+
**Solution**: Set the environment variable before running pytest:
242+
```bash
243+
PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD="" uv run --frozen pytest
244+
```
245+
246+
### Issue: WebSocket import errors
247+
248+
**Solution**: Install the websocket extras:
249+
```bash
250+
uv sync --extra ws
251+
```
252+
253+
### Issue: Documentation build fails with network errors
254+
255+
**Solution**: This is expected in restricted network environments. The CI/CD pipeline handles this properly.
256+
257+
### Issue: Pyright shows unknown type warnings for websockets
258+
259+
**Solution**: This is expected for optional dependencies. Install the `ws` extra if you need WebSocket support:
260+
```bash
261+
uv sync --extra ws
262+
```
263+
264+
## Environment Variables
265+
266+
- `UV_NO_CACHE`: Disable uv cache
267+
- `UV_PYTHON`: Specify Python interpreter
268+
- `PYTEST_DISABLE_PLUGIN_AUTOLOAD`: Disable pytest plugin autoloading (needed for anyio)
269+
- `CI`: Set to indicate CI environment (affects inline-snapshot behavior)
270+
271+
## CI/CD
272+
273+
The project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration. All checks must pass:
274+
275+
1. **Linting**: ruff check
276+
2. **Type checking**: pyright
277+
3. **Testing**: pytest with full coverage
278+
4. **Building**: Source and wheel distributions
279+
5. **Documentation**: mkdocs build
280+
281+
See `.github/workflows/` for CI/CD configuration.
282+
