## Quick Start

1. Install `uv` if you haven't already ([installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/))
1. Add the following to your VS Code MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "winrm-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["winrm-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "WINRM_MCP_HOSTNAME": "your-windows-host.com",
        "WINRM_MCP_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "WINRM_MCP_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

1. That's it! No installation required - `uvx` handles everything automatically.

## Features

- **Remote Command Execution**: Execute PowerShell commands on remote Windows hosts
- **Secure Authentication**: Uses username/password authentication with support for both HTTP and HTTPS
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with semantic separation of error types
- **Timeout Management**: Configurable command timeouts (default: 5 minutes)
- **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed logging compatible with VS Code's MCP Server output
- **Connection Flexibility**: Automatically tries HTTPS first, falls back to HTTP if needed

## Installation

### Using uvx (Recommended)

The recommended way to use this MCP server is with `uvx`, which runs the package without installing it globally:

```bash
# No installation needed! uvx will handle everything
```
