[Bug] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'msgpack'

Description

When attempting to start the Uvicorn server with the command uvicorn --reload api.main:app, the process fails with a ModuleNotFoundError for the module msgpack.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure the virtual environment is activated: source .venv/bin/activate
2. Run the command: uvicorn --reload api.main:app

Expected Behavior

The Uvicorn server should start and run without any module import errors.

Actual Behavior

The server fails to start, and the following traceback is displayed:

Possible Solution

Ensure the msgpack module is installed in the virtual environment. You need to add the library to requeriments.txt

Additional Context
