Development
Set up your environment
First, let’s install uv and set up our Python project and environment:
MacOS/Linux : curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Windows : powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
Make sure to restart your terminal afterwards to ensure that the uv command gets picked up.
Now, let’s create and set up our project:
Running to local claude desktop app
- Make sure you need to update claude_desktop_config.json to register tool
you can find claude_desktop_config.json :
For Windows : code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
For Mac/Linux :code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"Github-Oauth": {
"command": "C:\\Users\\Hp\\.local\\bin\\uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"C:\\Users\\Hp\\Github-Oauth\\src\\github_oauth",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
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:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory C:\Users\Hp\Github-Oauth run github-oauth
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
