fix: handle python -m mysql_mcp_server

[wut0n9]

添加支持python命令运行服务。

As I understand them, Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations do not typically expose interfaces for standalone use. MCP is designed as a communication protocol between AI applications (hosts/clients) and external data sources or tools (servers), rather than as a standalone system. Can you explain the use case for running the mysql_mcp_server from the command line with Python?

hi, In the MCP server example repository at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers, some servers are started using the Python command. I think both the Python command and uv/uvx can be used to start services. eg. https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/blob/main/src/fetch/README.md

@wut0n9 It looks like mcp_server_fetch may be designed to take command line arguments as a stand alone tool, "After installation, you can run it as a script using:". mysql_mcp_serve is not designed to be run that way. You can use the MCP inspector to debug it.

@wut0n9 I've update the readme

Debugging with MCP Inspector

While MySQL MCP Server isn't intended to be run standalone or directly from the command line with Python, you can use the MCP Inspector to debug it.

The MCP Inspector provides a convenient way to test and debug your MCP implementation:

Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use the MCP Inspector for debugging (do not run directly with Python)

The MySQL MCP Server is designed to be integrated with AI applications like Claude Desktop and should not be run directly as a standalone Python program.
