+## Prerequisites
+
+You'll need an MCP-compatible client (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) and `uvx` (from [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)). No Python install required — `uv` manages that automatically.

+
+**Windows:**
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
+```
+
+Verify it works:
+
+```bash
+uvx --version
+```
+
