Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in two modes: stdio (for local testing) or http (for networked access). To start the server, use the following commands:

Run in stdio mode (default):

fan-manager-mcp --transport "stdio"

Run in HTTP mode:

fan-manager-mcp --transport "http"  --host "0.0.0.0"  --port "8000"
