}Simple MCP Client
This project provides a simple MCP (Multi-Client Protocol) implementation that demonstrates basic client-server communication capabilities.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- Python package manager (e.g., uv) # suggested
Installation
1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/tjjd4/simple-mcp-test.git
cd simple-mcp-test
2. Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended):
python -m venv .venv # using python and pip
uv venv # using uv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
3. Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r pyproject.toml # using pip
uv run pip install -r pyproject.toml # using uv
Running the Simple MCP Client
The simple MCP implementation can be tested using the test_simple_mcp.py script. This script demonstrates basic functionality including call_tool(), read_resource(), etc.
To run the test script:
```bash
