brew install uv
Make sure you have a modern Python runtime installed, pinned and dependencies gathered:
uv install python 3.12
uv pin python 3.12
uv venv
uv pip install .
Finally, you can install the MCP server into Claude Desktop:

Restart Claude Desktop, you can then ask it "What tools do you have access too?" and "Get me a BBC headline.".
