Running
🚨️ If you connect the MCP correctly to a coding agent, it starts the server automatically—no need to run it separately.
uv run main
To run in debugging mode (MCP Inspector) from the terminal:
uv run mcp dev src/crawl4ai_local_for_windows/server.py
Adding MCP to an Agent
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user crawl4ai -- uv run --directory <parent_location>\crawl4ai-local-for-windows main
parent_location: Write it like C:\dev\repo\fix-a-lot
- e.g.
claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user crawl4ai -- uv run --directory C:\dev\repo\fix-a-lot\crawl4ai-local-for-windows main
# Check MCP installation
claude mcp list
claude mcp get crawl4ai
