Python MCP Remote Server — The Dawn of the Streamable HTTP Era ~ With a Minimalist Template Featuring uv / Docker / pytest ~
Ruff: A Rust-based, ultra-fast Python linter and formatter developed by Astral (official website). What's astounding is not just its speed, but its ability to cover most of the checks and formatting previously done by multiple tools like Flake8, isort, pydocstyle, pyupgrade, etc., with Ruff alone. This simplifies configuration files and significantly reduces tool management costs. Ruff hooks are defined in .pre-commit-config.yaml. When you try to commit, static code analysis (detecting potential bugs or deprecated practices) and formatting (unifying coding style) are automatically executed. If issues are found, the commit is aborted, prompting you to fix them. In many cases, Ruff can automatically fix the problems it finds.

These requirements are not too uncommon. I have seen many projects with similar setup, with alternatives such as tox instead of nox, or black and pylint instead of ruff, etc.
