Version Information
Display MCP version and help information.
# Show MCP version
mcp version
# Show help for all commands
mcp --helpDevelopment Mode
Run MCP servers with the MCP Inspector for development and testing.
# Run server in development mode with Inspector
mcp dev server.py
# Run server with additional dependencies
mcp dev server.py --with requests --with pandas
# Run server with editable project installation
mcp dev server.py:app --with-editable /path/to/projectDirect Server Execution
Run MCP servers directly without additional tooling.
# Run server using stdio transport (default)
mcp run server.py
# Run server with specific transport
mcp run server.py --transport sse
# Run specific server object from module
mcp run server.py:app --transport stdioClaude Desktop Integration
Install MCP servers for use with Claude Desktop application.
# Install basic server
mcp install server.py
# Install server with custom name
mcp install server.py --name "My MCP Server"
# Install with environment variables
mcp install server.py --env-var "API_KEY=your-key" --env-var "DEBUG=true"
# Install with .env file
mcp install server.py --env-file .env
# Install with additional packages and editable mode
mcp install server.py --with requests --with-editable /path/to/projectCommand Reference
