Development
Building and Publishing
To prepare the package for distribution:
- Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync- Build package distributions:
uv buildThis will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.
- Publish to PyPI:
uv publishNote: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
- Token:
--tokenorUV_PUBLISH_TOKEN - Or username/password:

Debugging
Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.
You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/adityakarnam/PycharmProjects/mcp-scholarly/mcp-scholarly run mcp-scholarlyUpon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-scholarly --client claudeBefore it works, you'll need: UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
