# Starting MCP Server for Testing ## For MCP Inspector Testing (HTTP) ### Option 1: Using PowerShell ```powershell cd C:\newdev3\python-alfresco-mcp-server .\venv_clean\Scripts\activate fastmcp run alfresco_mcp_server.fastmcp_server --host localhost --port 8003 ``` ### Option 2: Using Command Prompt ```cmd cd C:\newdev3\python-alfresco-mcp-server venv_clean\Scripts\activate.bat fastmcp run alfresco_mcp_server.fastmcp_server --host localhost --port 8003 ``` ## For Claude Desktop Testing (STDIO) Claude Desktop uses the stdio transport via the config file: `claude-desktop-config.json` ## Testing Server Status After starting the HTTP server, run: ```bash python tests/mcp_specific/test_server_status.py ``` ## MCP Inspector Setup 1. Start HTTP server on port 8003 (see above) 2. Open MCP Inspector in browser 3. Use URL: `http://localhost:8003` 4. **Note**: MCP Inspector will show warning about "risky auth" and include token in URL - this is normal for development testing ## Important Notes - Make sure you're using `venv_clean` which has all the correct dependencies - The FastMCP server will show import success messages when starting correctly - If you see pydantic import errors, make sure you're using the correct virtual environment
