An issue connecting to Claude when importing the python requests library

[aevo98765]

Conditions

python uv project. fastmcp server with the requests library added. The dev MCP Inspector can run the server. However, when I install the server to use with Claude it shuts down the serve immediately after startup saying no requests library found.

Requests is in the pyproject.toml and uv.lock file. I have replaced the requests library with httpx and it works fine now.
