 # FastMCP Development Guidelines
 
+> **Audience**: LLM-driven engineering agents and human developers
+
+FastMCP is a comprehensive Python framework (Python ≥3.10) for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients. This is the actively maintained v2.0 providing a complete toolkit for the MCP ecosystem.
+
 ## Required Development Workflow
 
+**CRITICAL**: Always run these commands in sequence before committing:
+
 ```bash
 uv sync                              # Install dependencies
 uv run pre-commit run --all-files    # Ruff + Prettier + Pyright
 uv run pytest                        # Run full test suite
 ```
 
+**All three must pass** - this is enforced by CI. Alternative: `just build && just typecheck && just test`
+
 **Tests must pass and lint/typing must be clean before committing.**

+## Key Tools & Commands
+
+### Environment Setup
+```bash
+git clone <repo>
+cd fastmcp
+uv sync                    # Installs all deps including dev tools
+```
+
+### Validation Commands (Run Frequently)
+- **Linting**: `uv run ruff check` (or with `--fix`)
+- **Type Checking**: `uv run pyright`
+- **All Checks**: `uv run pre-commit run --all-files`
+
+### Testing
+- **Standard**: `uv run pytest`
+- **Integration**: `uv run pytest -m "integration"`
+- **Excluding markers**: `uv run pytest -m "not integration and not client_process"`
+
+### CLI Usage
+- **Run server**: `uv run fastmcp run server.py`
+- **Development**: `uv run fastmcp dev server.py` (with Inspector UI)
+- **Help**: `uv run fastmcp --help`
+
+## Critical Patterns
+
+### Error Handling
+- Never use bare `except` - be specific with exception types
+- Use `# type: ignore[attr-defined]` in tests for MCP results
+
+### Build Issues (Common Solutions)
+1. **Dependencies**: Always `uv sync` first
+2. **Pre-commit fails**: Run `uv run pre-commit run --all-files` to see failures
+3. **Type errors**: Use `uv run pyright` directly, check `pyproject.toml` config
+4. **Test timeouts**: Default 3s - optimize or mark as integration tests
