## Quick Start

### 🚀 Recommended: Using uvx

No installation required, run directly:

```bash
# Basic usage (with default configuration)
uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp

# Use custom API URL
MC_WIKI_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp

# Enable verbose logging
MC_WIKI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp

# Use command line arguments
uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp --api-url http://localhost:3000 --log-level DEBUG

# Show help
uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp --help
```

### Debugging Tips

#### Enable Verbose Logging
```bash
# Start server and view detailed logs
MC_WIKI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp 2>debug.log

# View logs
tail -f debug.log
```

#### Test Configuration
```bash
# Test specific configuration
MC_WIKI_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 \
MC_WIKI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG \
uvx mc-wiki-fetch-mcp --help
```

#### Verify Environment Variables
```bash
# Check current environment variables
env | grep MC_WIKI
