Faostat Mcp

Please install the `faostat-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Python 3.10+** — Python 3.10 or newer is required to run the FAOSTAT MCP server. (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- **Install faostat-mcp** — Install the published Python package. The README recommends the PyPI/registry path over running from source. Run: `pip install faostat-mcp` (https://pypi.org/project/faostat-mcp/)
- **Create a FAOSTAT API account** — Register for a free FAOSTAT API account if you want authenticated access. Credentials can then be stored using the faostat_setup tool or supplied via environment variables. (https://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#developer-portal)

Optional prerequisites:
- Optional Redis setup — Redis is optional and only needed for shared or high-volume deployments using Redis-backed caching. Run: `docker run -p 6379:6379 -it redis/redis-stack:latest`

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `uvx`
- args: ["faostat-mcp"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `FAOSTAT_API_TOKEN`: FAOSTAT API token. Alternative to username/password authentication. (example: `<your-api-token>`)
  - `FAOSTAT_USERNAME`: FAOSTAT account username/email. Use together with FAOSTAT_PASSWORD if not using FAOSTAT_API_TOKEN. (example: `<your-faostat-username>`)
  - `FAOSTAT_PASSWORD`: FAOSTAT account password. Use together with FAOSTAT_USERNAME if not using FAOSTAT_API_TOKEN. (example: `<your-faostat-password>`)
  - `REDIS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS`: Redis host address for optional shared Redis caching. (example: `<your-redis-host>`)
  - `REDIS_HOST_PORT_NUMBER`: Redis port for optional shared Redis caching. (example: `<your-redis-port>`)
  - `REDIS_DATABASE`: Redis database number for optional shared Redis caching. (example: `<your-redis-database>`)
  - `FAOSTAT_DISK_CACHE`: Set to disable SQLite disk cache on read-only or constrained filesystems. (example: `<true-or-false>`)

Note: The simplest recommended MCP config uses stdio with command `uvx` and args `["faostat-mcp"]`. Authentication can be set up after first launch using the `faostat_setup` tool, which stores credentials securely and avoids putting secrets in MCP config. The server also works when installed with pip and invoked via the `faostat-mcp` script, but the README's recommended config snippet uses `uvx`.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
