Just thought these would assist more users to be able to get this repo up and running and to improve security

Here is the mcp.json settings I used in VSCode to get the server working. Note, I have tested the PowerShell command output with my SSA.

{
    "servers": {
        "aps ssa mcp": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "run",
                "--with",
                "fastmcp",
                "fastmcp",
                "run",
                "${workspaceFolder}/mcp_server_ssa/server.py",
            ]
        }
    }
}
