228+
python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
230+
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
231+
```
232+
233+
2. Locally build and install servers within the virtual environment
234+
```sh
235+
make build
236+
make install
237+
```
238+
239+
3. Add desired servers to your MCP client configuration, but run them using the locally installed server package instead
