I've been watching Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Is Uranus visible to the naked eye? Can Mercury be seen in this mix?

No mercury is in the morning. Uranus is possible only if you have amazing vision, very dark skies and perfect seeing. It will be indistinguishable from a star.

Mercury is just emerging from the Sun’s glare and isn’t visible until most of the other planets have set.

Uranus would be possible to see with the naked eye from dark skies. It is close to the edge of what's visible to the naked eye. You won't see it with the naked eye from a light-polluted area.
