uv-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Python installations via uv, the fast Python package installer.

Overview

uv-mcp provides LLMs with direct access to inspect and manage Python environments through the uv package manager. This allows AI assistants to help with Python dependency management, environment inspection, and troubleshooting tasks.

Features

• Environment Inspection: Query installed packages and their versions

• Dependency Resolution: Check compatibility between packages

• Environment Comparison: Identify differences between local and cloud/production environments

• Requirement Management: Parse and validate requirements files

• Package Information: Retrieve metadata about PyPI packages

• Virtual Environment Management: Create and manage virtual environments

How It Works

uv-mcp implements the Model Context Protocol to expose Python environment data and package management functionality through standardized resources and tools.

Resources

• python:packages://installed - List of all installed packages and versions

• python:packages://outdated - List of installed packages with newer versions available

• python:packages://{package_name}/latest - Latest versions available for a package

• python:packages://{package_name}/dependencies - List of dependencies for a specific package

• python:requirements://{file_path} - Parsed content of requirements files

Tools

• run(command: str[]) - Run a command or script

• init() - Create a new project

• add(package_name: str, version: Optional[str]) - Add dependencies to the project

• remove(package_name: str) - Remove dependencies from the project

• sync(dry_run: bool) - Install all declared dependencies, uninstall anything not declared

• lock() - Update the project's lockfile

• pip(command: str[]) - Run a pip command

• pip_install(package_name: str, version: Optional[str]) - Install a package using pip

• pip_uninstall(package_name: str) - Uninstall a package using pip

• pip_list() - List all installed packages using pip

Usage

To start the server:

uvx uv-mcp
