Installation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.12 or higher
  • uv package manager (recommended) or pip

Install uv

If you don't have uv installed, install it first:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

After installation, restart your terminal so uv is in your PATH.

Verify installation: 

uv --version

Install devmcp-context

git clone https://github.com/kushal1o1/devmcp-context.git
cd devmcp-context
uv sync

This installs the project and all dependencies in an isolated virtual environment.

Option 2: From PyPI

Once published to PyPI:

pip install devmcp-context

Option 3: Development Installation

If you want to modify or contribute to devmcp-context:

git clone https://github.com/kushal1o1/devmcp-context.git
cd devmcp-context
uv sync --all-extras

The --all-extras flag installs development dependencies including testing and linting tools.
