What is MCP Client?
The MCP Client is a tool that allows you to interact with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers through a REST API or a command-line interface. It facilitates communication with various LLMs and MCP-compatible databases, allowing for complex queries and data retrieval.
How to use MCP Client?
To use the client, clone the repository, navigate to the project directory, set the necessary API keys (OPENAI_API_KEY, BRAVE_API_KEY) either as environment variables or in the mcp-server-config.json file. Then, either run the CLI using uv run cli.py or start the REST API server with uvicorn app:app --reload. The CLI provides a chat command for interacting with the LLM, and the REST API can be accessed via HTTP requests.
