 # mcp-plex
 
-Plex MCP Tool Server.
+`mcp-plex` is a [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol) server and data
+loader for Plex. It ingests Plex metadata into [Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/) and exposes
+search and recommendation tools that LLM agents can call.
 
-## Loader
+## Features
+- Load Plex libraries into a Qdrant vector database.
+- Hybrid dense & sparse vector search for media items.
+- Recommend similar media from a reference item.
+- GPU-enabled data loading and embeddings.
 
-The `load-data` CLI can load Plex metadata into Qdrant. Run it once with:
+## Installation
+1. Install [`uv`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv).
+2. Sync project dependencies (including dev tools) with:
+   ```bash
+   uv sync --extra dev
+   ```
 
+## Usage
+### Load Plex Metadata
+Load sample data into Qdrant:
 ```bash
 uv run load-data --sample-dir sample-data
 ```
 
-To keep the loader running continuously, pass `--continuous` and optionally set a
-delay between runs:
-
+Run continuously with a delay between runs:
 ```bash
 uv run load-data --continuous --delay 600
 ```
 
-## Docker
-
-A Dockerfile is provided to build a GPU-enabled image based on
-`nvidia/cuda:12.4.1-cudnn-devel-ubuntu22.04` using [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)
-for dependency management. Build and run the loader:
+### Run the MCP Server
+Start the FastMCP server to expose Plex tools:
+```bash
+uv run python -m mcp_plex.server
+```
 
+## Docker
+A Dockerfile builds a GPU-enabled image based on
+`nvidia/cuda:12.4.1-cudnn-devel-ubuntu22.04` using `uv` for dependency
+management. Build and run the loader:
 ```bash
 docker build -t mcp-plex .
 docker run --rm --gpus all mcp-plex --sample-dir /data
 ```

+Use `--continuous` and `--delay` flags with `docker run` to keep the loader
 running in a loop.

+## Development
+Run linting and tests through `uv`:
+```bash
+uv run ruff .
+uv run pytest
+```
