## Configuration

### MCP Client Configuration

Add this to your MCP client configuration file (e.g., `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nortal_coding_standards": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "mcp[cli]",
        "mcp",
        "run",
        "/absolute/path/to/coding-standards-mcp/server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `/absolute/path/to/coding-standards-mcp/server.py` with your actual server path.
