This website describes the repository catalog snapshot, which may contain unreleased entries. It is not a promise that every entry exists in the currently published package. Check `uvx awesome-python-dev list --json` for the catalog available in your installed runtime. GitHub stars and review dates are recorded snapshots, not live rankings.

### Install into your coding agents

```sh
uvx awesome-python-dev init --agents codex,claude --tools context7
```

Run inside the project you want to equip. This command targets Codex and Claude Code; use `--agents` to choose other supported agents. [Read the prerequisites and setup guide](https://m9rco.github.io/awesome-python-dev/getting-started/) .

The installer writes MCP configuration. Your coding agent starts the server after reload and approval; installation does not run server tools.

### Integration notes

Node.js >=20.18.1. The upstream stdio README documents an optional API key for higher limits/private repositories; service policies and availability apply. Set credentials through your agent, never commit secrets.
