Run server using MCP Inspector :

  • Run mcp inspector
uv run mcp dev server/weather.py

MCP Inspector is up and running at http://127.0.0.1:6274

Add server to claude desktop :

uv run mcp install .\server\weather.py
  • query "what is weather alert in CA" in claude desktop

Add server to cursor :

  • goto preferences > settings > mcp and copy paste claude config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "mcp[cli]",
        "mcp",
        "run",
        "C:\\Users\\Suraj\\Desktop\\Python\\mcp-crash-course\\mcpcrashcourse\\server\\weather.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}
