## Debugging
Because MCP servers communicate over standard input/output, debugging can sometimes be tricky. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector). You can run the inspector with:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The inspector will provide a URL you can open in your browser to see logs and send requests manually.
