STDIO Mode (Local Use):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qrcode-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/qrcode_mcp/qrcode_mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/qrcode_mcp"
    }
  }
}

HTTP Mode (Network Deployment):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qrcode-mcp": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

SSE Mode (Server-Sent Events):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qrcode-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8008/sse"
    }
  }
}

2. Direct Python API Usage

from qrcode_utils import text_to_qr_base64

# Basic usage
base64_result = text_to_qr_base64("Hello, World!")

# Custom styling
base64_result = text_to_qr_base64(
    "Custom QR Code",
    box_size=15,
    fill_color="darkblue",
    back_color="lightgray"
)
