How do I install and set up the server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies from `requirements.txt`, and verify the version. The server is started by running `catalysishub_mcp_server.py` with Python; a sample `claude_desktop_config.json` configuration is provided.

What are the core dependencies?

The main dependency is `httpx` for asynchronous HTTP requests. The server uses standard input/output for MCP transport and requires a Python environment.
