Mcp-Client-XSAFE

This project demonstrates a simple client-server implementation using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which is a standardized way to connect large language models with tools and data.

Overview

This example shows how to:

• Create an MCP server with custom tools
• Connect to the server using an MCP client
• Call tools and get responses from the server

Server Implementation

The server exposes two tools:

1. calculate_bmi - A simple calculator that computes Body Mass Index
2. fetch_weather - An async tool that retrieves weather data from an external API

Client Implementation

The client connects to the server via stdio, initializes a session, and calls the server's tools.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+
• uv (Python package manager)

Installation

# Install dependencies
uv install -e .

Running the Example

1. Start the client (which will automatically start the server):

uv run src/client/mcp_client.py

Usage

The client will:

1. Connect to the server
2. List available tools
3. Call the BMI calculator with sample data
4. Call the weather tool with sample coordinates

Example Response

Available tools: meta=None nextCursor=None tools=[...]
BMI calculation result: 22.857142857142858
Weather data: {"current_weather":{"temperature":14.2,"windspeed":12.6, ...}}

Test with MCP Inspector
