Add prerequisites section with uv install instructions#1
Conversation
Users were confused about needing uvx installed before the MCP server can run. This adds clear install commands for macOS/Linux and Windows.

Should we also include Python as a prerequisite, or will that be automatically installed with Claude Code/Cursor.
Should we also mention Claude Code/Cursor as prerequisites - and perhaps some other LLM. Or is that too obvious?

Python is not a prerequisite, uv automatically downloads the required Python version if it's not already present on the system. This is documented at https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/python-versions/#installing-a-python-version

Where as Claude Code/Cursor is obvious, if thats needed i could add it
Clarify that Python is not a prerequisite (uv manages it automatically) and mention MCP client requirement.
