Preparing the Development Environment

We will follow the same process as in the previous chapter to set up our development environment. We will create a new project and install the necessary dependencies. These are the commands we will run in the terminal:

# Create a new directory for our project and navigate into it
mkdir -p $HOME/workspace/puppy_guide/server
cd $HOME/workspace/puppy_guide/server

# Initialize a new UV project with Python 3.12
uv init --bare --python=3.12

# Install the FastMCP library
uv add "fastmcp==3.0.2"

Let's also create a fastmcp.json file in the root of our project with the following content:

cat > fastmcp.json << EOF
{
  "\$schema": "https://gofastmcp.com/public/schemas/fastmcp.json/v1.json",
  "source": {
    "path": "main.py",
