### Description (declared)

# quads-mcp

A Model Context Protocol for QUADS

## Overview

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes tools, resources, and prompts for use with LLM applications like Claude. MCP servers let you extend AI applications with custom functionality, data sources, and templated interactions.

## Quick Start

### Option 1: Run with uvx (Easiest)

The fastest way to run the server without any setup:

```bash
# Install uv if you don't have it
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Run the server directly (from project directory)
uvx --from . quads-mcp

# Or run the module
uvx --from . python -m quads_mcp.server
```

### Option 2: Setup with uv (Recommended)

```bash
# Set up the environment
make setup

# Check virtual environment status
make status

# Run the server (automatically uses virtual environment)
make run

# Run in development mode with MCP Inspector
make dev

# Install the server in Claude Desktop
make install
```

**Note**: You don't need to manually activate the virtual environment when using `make` commands - they automatically use the `.venv` environment!

If you encounter import errors, run `make reinstall` to refresh the package installation.

### Option 3: Manual Setup

```bash
# Install uv if you don't have it
pip install uv

# Create a virtual environment
uv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/MacOS
# or
.venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows

# Install the package in development mode
uv pip install -e .

# Run in development mode
mcp dev quads_mcp.server

# Install in Claude Desktop
mcp install quads_mcp.server
```

### uvx Configuration

When running with uvx, you can configure the server using environment variables or .env files:

```bash
# Option 1: Environment variables
MCP_QUADS__BASE_URL="https://your-quads-api.com/api/v3" \
MCP_QUADS__AUTH_TOKEN="your-token" \
uvx --from . quads-mcp

# Option 2: .env file (recommended)
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuratio…
