## Quick Start

### Cursor IDE (Recommended)

Add to your `.cursor/mcp.json` (project-level) or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "base2": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--upgrade", "base2-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

No manual install needed — `uvx` fetches the package from PyPI automatically and `--upgrade` ensures you always get the latest version on server restart.

### Claude Desktop

Add to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "base2": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--upgrade", "base2-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Alternative: pin to a specific version

If you need a stable version that won't change unexpectedly:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "base2": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["base2-mcp==0.1.0"]
    }
  }
}
```
