From the repository
Clone the repository, pick a template (ez-mcp.py or ez-mcp.ts), and run it directly with uv run ez-mcp.py or deno run --allow-all ez-mcp.ts. Alternatively, copy the template file, rename it, customize the server name and tools, then run your new server. Use MCP Inspector for testing.
