# Brev MCP server
This is a MCP server implementation for Brev.
## Configuration
The MCP server uses the Brev CLI's API access token and currently set org.
Follow the [Brev documentation](https://www.brev.dev/docs/reference/brev-cli) to download the CLI and login if you haven't already.
If you want to switch your Brev org, run `brev set <org-name>`
The CLI access token expires every hour. If you have any 403 errors, simply run `brev ls` to refresh the access token.
## Quickstart
### Setup repository locally
`git clone git@github.com:brevdev/brev-mcp.git`
### Install uv
Follow the [uv installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
#### Claude Desktop
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
<details>
<summary>Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration</summary>
```json
"mcpServers": {
"brev_mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<path-to-repo>",
"run",
"brev-mcp"
]
}
}
```
</details>
## Development
### Building and Publishing
To prepare the package for distribution:
1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
```bash
uv sync
```
2. Build package distributions:
```bash
uv build
```
This will create source and wheel distributions in the `dist/` directory.
3. Publish to PyPI:
```bash
uv publish
```
Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
- Token: `--token` or `UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN`
- Or username/password: `--username`/`UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME` and `--password`/`UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD`
### Debugging
Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging
experience, we strongly recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector).
You can launch the MCP Inspector via [`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) with this command:
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/tmontfort/Brev/repos/brev_mcp run brev-mcp
```
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
