From the repository
Clone the repository, install dependencies using uv venv and uv sync, then start the server with uv run main.py. Configuration (host, port, PyPI mirror) can be customized in config.toml. The default SSE endpoint is http://127.0.0.1:8181/sse. For Claude Desktop, configure via supergateway pointing to the SSE URL, optionally including an API key if authentication is enabled.
