## Quick Start

### With uvx (No Installation)

```bash
# Interactive mode
uvx modelcontextprotocol create

# Direct creation
uvx modelcontextprotocol create my-server --type server
```

### With pip/uv

```bash
# Install
pip install modelcontextprotocol
# or
uv pip install modelcontextprotocol

# Create a project
modelcontextprotocol create
# or
mcp-create server my-weather-server
