Bug Description

Hello,

While following the blog post on generating commit messages with Langflow and MCP servers, I ran into an issue with the Git MCP server setup that may block new users.

However the command uvx is not commonly available by default
There is no mention of installing uv (Astral’s Python package manager), which provides uvx
This results in a command not found error for users who don’t already have it installed
Impact. Users without uv installed cannot proceed with setting up the Git MCP server, which blocks them from completing the guide.

Suggested Fix

It would help to:

Add a prerequisite step explaining how to install uv, or
Provide an alternative command (if available), or
Link to official MCP server setup instructions for clarity

Reproduction

The documentation provides the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "git": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-git"]
    }
  }
}


### Expected behavior

Add a prerequisite step explaining how to install uv, or
Provide an alternative command (if available), or
Link to official MCP server setup instructions for clarity
