Simple MCP Client Using LangChain / Python 
This simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) client demonstrates the use of MCP server tools by LangChain ReAct Agent.
It leverages a utility function convert_mcp_to_langchain_tools()
from
langchain_mcp_tools
.
This function handles parallel initialization of specified multiple MCP servers
and converts their available tools into a list of LangChain-compatible tools
(List[BaseTool]).
Anthropic's claude-3-5-sonnet-latest
is used as the LLM.
For convenience, code for OpenAI's gpt-4o
is also included and commented out.
A bit more realistic (conversational) MCP Client is available here
A typescript equivalent of this MCP client is available here
