From the project README

Hide MCP server

A MCP server for Hide – headless IDE.

Components

Tools

The server implements two tools adapted from Anthropic's computer-use-demo:

Text Editor

For viewing and editing files. Features file viewing with line numbers, directory listing, file creation, string replacement with exact matching, line insertion, and edit history.

Bash

A persistent bash shell with support for common Linux/Python packages, background processes and automatic output truncation.

Quickstart

Install
Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "hide-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/hide-mcp", "run", "hide-mcp" ] } } ```
Published Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "hide-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "hide-mcp" ] } } ```

Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync
  1. Build package distributions:
uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

  1. Publish to PyPI:
uv publish

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:

  • Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
  • Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD
Packaging

To package the service into a standalone executable:

uv run pyinstaller hide-mcp.spec

This will create a standalone executable in the dist/ directory.

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/hide-mcp run hide-mcp

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
