(More for Chris, the Author, since he never uses Python)

You can quickly publish a new version using twine:

```shell
# Install dev dependencies (includes build and twine)
uv sync --group dev

# Build the package
uv run python -m build

# Check the built package
uv run twine check dist/*

# Publish to TestPyPI first for testing (optional)
uv run twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Publish to PyPI
uv run twine upload dist/*
```

Make sure to:
1. Update the version number in `pyproject.toml`
2. Test the package locally with `uv run python test_comprehensive.py`
3. Build and publish

For authentication, you'll need PyPI API tokens configured in your `~/.pypirc` file or set as environment variables.ons/orly-mcp.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/orly-mcp/)
