Usage
使用方法
Basic Usage
基本用法
Adding the MCP in Trae
在 Trae 中添加 MCP
Note: This MCP relies on the uv package manager for virtual environment management and startup. 注意: 此 MCP 依赖 uv 包管理器进行虚拟环境管理和启动。
Method 1: Using JSON Configuration
方法 1: 使用 JSON 配置
- Create a JSON configuration file with the following content:
- 创建一个 JSON 配置文件,内容如下:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cst_interface": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"...\\CST_MCP",
"run",
"advanced_mcp.py"
]
}
}
}
About the uv Startup Configuration
关于 uv 启动配置
The JSON configuration uses uv as the command to start the MCP, which:
JSON 配置使用 uv 作为启动 MCP 的命令,它会:
- Sets the working directory to the project folder using
--directory - 设置工作目录 到项目文件夹,使用
--directory - Runs the advanced_mcp.py script using
uv run - 运行 advanced_mcp.py 脚本,使用
uv run - Automatically uses the virtual environment created by uv
- 自动使用 uv 创建的虚拟环境
This ensures that the MCP runs with all the necessary dependencies installed in the uv-managed virtual environment. 这确保了 MCP 在 uv 管理的虚拟环境中运行,包含所有必要的依赖项。
- Import the JSON file in Trae:
- 在 Trae 中导入 JSON 文件:
- Open Trae IDE
- 打开 Trae IDE
- Navigate to the MCP section
- 导航到 MCP 部分
- Click on "Import MCP Configuration" or similar option
- 点击 "导入 MCP 配置" 或类似选项
- Select the JSON file you created
- 选择你创建的 JSON 文件
- Confirm the import
- 确认导入
Verifying the MCP in Trae
在 Trae 中验证 MCP
- Check the MCP list in Trae
- 检查 Trae 中的 MCP 列表
- Ensure the CST MCP project is listed
- 确保 CST MCP 项目已列出
- Test the MCP by running a simple workflow
- 通过运行简单工作流测试 MCP
