 # Helpful notes
+For developing FastMCP
+## Install local development version of FastMCP into a local FastMCP project server
+- ensure
+- change directories to your FastMCP Server location so you can install it in your .venv
+- run `.venv\Scripts\activate` to activate your virtual environment
+- Then run a series of commands to uninstall the old version and install the new
+```bash
+# First uninstall
+uv pip uninstall fastmcp
+
+# Clean any build artifacts in your fastmcp directory
+cd C:\path\to\fastmcp
+del /s /q *.egg-info
+
+# Then reinstall in your weather project
+cd C:\path\to\new\fastmcp_server
+uv pip install --no-cache-dir -e C:\Users\justj\PycharmProjects\fastmcp
+
+# Check that it installed properly and has the correct git hash
+pip show fastmcp
+```
+
+## Running the FastMCP server with Inspector
+MCP comes with a node.js application called Inspector that can be used to inspect the FastMCP server. To run the inspector, you'll need to install node.js and npm. Then you can run the following commands:
+```bash
+fastmcp dev server.py
+```
+This will launch a web app on http://localhost:5173/ that you can use to inspect the FastMCP server.
