Installation Instructions

Issue: MCP Dependency Conflict

Some dependencies (particularly spaces from Gradio) try to downgrade mcp to version 1.10.1, which conflicts with fastmcp that requires mcp>=1.17.0.

Solution

Use the constraints file when installing dependencies:

pip install -r pre-requirements.txt
pip install -c constraints.txt -r requirements.txt

The -c constraints.txt flag enforces the mcp version and prevents downgrades.

For Hugging Face Spaces

If deploying to Hugging Face Spaces, ensure the installation command uses constraints:

pip install -c constraints.txt -r requirements.txt
