Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is related to installing Teradata MCP Server using the package UV.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. For the mac, the UV installation works with brew and it also installs teradata mcp server. However it does not automatically detect the Teradata MCP Server so running "uv tool update-shell" might be necessary to add the bin directory to the PATH in common shell configuration files.
    After this, you should restart the terminal and then run "teradata-mcp-server --help" and it will work.

  2. For the windows, the UV installation with winget might not work as it returns error. However, with pip you can install uv easily just by running "pip install uv".
    The teradata-mcp-server installation goes on as a mentioned. However, the same needs to be done with windows as mentioned above for the mac meaning, "uv tool update-shell" and restarting the terminal is a must.

  3. For starting the teradata-mcp-server, 'export' command only works with Unix based OS. For windows, 'set' needs to be used instead of 'export'. Please add that as currently only export option is there.
    it might take some time for the windows to detect the teradata-mcp-server so try after some time.

Please update the documentation and mention these steps to install the MCP server.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have gone through these challenges and followed the process mentioned above and it worked like a charm so it can be added to the documentation.
