Installation — SciTeX IO v0.1.1

# Installation

## Requirements

- Python >= 3.9

## Basic Installation

    pip install scitex-io

This installs the core I/O engine with support for common formats (CSV, JSON, NumPy, pickle, text, YAML, etc.).

## With MCP Server

    pip install scitex-io[mcp]

Adds FastMCP for AI agent integration.

## Full Installation

    pip install scitex-io[all]

Installs all optional dependencies for maximum format coverage:

Optional dependency groups
Group | Command | What it adds
--- | --- | ---
Core | `pip install scitex-io` | CSV, JSON, YAML, NPY, PKL, TXT
MCP | `pip install scitex-io[mcp]` | MCP server for AI agents
All | `pip install scitex-io[all]` | HDF5, Zarr, images, PDF, MATLAB, etc.

## SciTeX Users

If you use the main `scitex` framework, scitex-io is already included:

    pip install scitex

`scitex.io` delegates directly to `scitex_io` — they share the same API and format registry.

## Development

    git clone https://github.com/ywatanabe1989/scitex-io.git
    cd scitex-io
    pip install -e ".[all]"
