uv sync
```

run application

Run server using MCP Inspector :

    "weather": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "mcp[cli]",
        "mcp",
        "run",
        "C:\\Users\\Suraj\\Desktop\\Python\\mcp-crash-course\\mcpcrashcourse\\server\\weather.py"
