Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

Sync dependencies and update lockfile:

uv sync

Build package distributions:

uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

Publish to PyPI:

uv publish --token {{YOUR_PYPI_API_TOKEN}}

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debuggingexperience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory {{your source code local directory}}/unichat-mcp-server run unichat-mcp-server

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
