Conversation
The server is built on standalone FastMCP v3 (`from fastmcp import FastMCP`), but the README configured Claude Desktop to launch it with `mcp run` from the `mcp[cli]` SDK. That launcher only accepts the SDK's bundled `mcp.server.fastmcp.server.FastMCP` class and rejects the standalone v3 object as 'not a valid server object', so the server fails to start. Switch the documented config to the matching launcher: `--with fastmcp` and `fastmcp run`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without --directory, uv resolves the environment relative to wherever Claude Desktop spawns the process, so the server's working directory (and the .boostcamp session state it reads) doesn't line up with the project. Matches the verified working config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
Following the README setup, Claude Desktop fails to start the server with:
The server is built on standalone FastMCP v3 (
from fastmcp import FastMCP,fastmcp>=3.2.0inpyproject.toml), but the documented config launches it withmcp runfrom themcp[cli]SDK. That launcher only accepts the SDK's bundledmcp.server.fastmcp.server.FastMCPclass and rejects the standalone v3 object, so the server never starts.Fix
--with fastmcpandfastmcp run.--directory /path/to/your/boostcamp-mcptouv runso uv resolves the project environment and working directory from the project root rather than wherever Claude Desktop spawns the process (the server's session state lives relative to the project).Verified the server loads cleanly under this exact config in Claude Desktop locally.
