curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

2. Install all dependencies:

uv sync --all-groups

3. Install pre-commit hooks:

make pre-commit

Make commands

make install     # install dependencies
make lint        # check code
make lint-fix    # check and auto-fix
make format      # format code
make test        # run tests
make test-cov    # run tests with coverage report
make pre-commit  # run all pre-commit hooks
make dev         # start MCP inspector (requires .env)
make clean       # remove build artifacts and caches

Note: Stage changes with git add before running make pre-commit — unstaged files are ignored.

Testing with MCP Inspector

The MCP Inspector lets you call tools interactively in a browser without Claude Desktop.

1. Create a .env file in the project root:

TOSHL_TOKEN=your-personal-token-here

2. Start the inspector:

make dev

3. Open http://localhost:6274 in your browser.

4. Connect — click Connect in the top bar.

5. Test tools:

• Click Tools in the left sidebar
• Click List Tools to see all six tools
• Select a tool (e.g. get_accounts), fill in any parameters, click Run
