Setting Up Your First MCP Server

My first MCP server took three hours to get working because I made every possible mistake: no logging, broke stdio with print statements, forgot to restart Claude Desktop, and wondered why nothing worked. Your first one should take 30 minutes.

This is what actually works, with the debugging steps I wish I'd known upfront.
