## Running the CEDAR MCP Server

### Option 1: Using UVX from PyPI (Recommended)

Run directly without installation using `uvx`:

```bash
uvx bach-cedar-mcp \
  --cedar-api-key "your-cedar-key" \
  --bioportal-api-key "your-bioportal-key"
```

### Option 2: Install from PyPI

Install using pip and run:

```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install bach-cedar-mcp

# Run the server
bach-cedar-mcp \
  --cedar-api-key "your-cedar-key" \
  --bioportal-api-key "your-bioportal-key"
```

### Option 3: Using Environment Variables

Set environment variables instead of command-line arguments:

```bash
# Set environment variables
export CEDAR_API_KEY="your-cedar-key"
export BIOPORTAL_API_KEY="your-bioportal-key"

# Run with uvx
uvx bach-cedar-mcp

# Or if installed with pip
bach-cedar-mcp
```

### Option 4: Local Development

Clone and run from source:

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/BACH-AI-Tools/cedar-mcp.git
cd cedar-mcp

# Install dependencies and run
uv run python…
