Model Context Protocol Example

This example illustrates the usage of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with a simplified setup involving a single tool, resource, and prompt.

Installation

To set up the environment:

pip install uv
uv init
uv venv

.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
source .venv/bin/activate # Mac/Linux

uv add mcp[cli] # Option-1
# or
uv add -r requirements.txt # Option-2

This involves installing uv, initializing a virtual environment, activating it, and then installing the mcp[cli] package or packages from requirements.txt.
