Simple MCP Client Using LangChain / TypeScript

This simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) client demonstrates the use of MCP server tools by LangChain ReAct Agent.

It leverages a utility function convertMcpToLangchainTools() from @h1deya/langchain-mcp-tools.
This function handles parallel initialization of specified multiple MCP servers and converts their available tools into an array of LangChain-compatible tools (StructuredTool[]).

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.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16+
• npm 7+ (npx) to run Node.js-based MCP servers
• [optional] uv (uvx) installed to run Python-based MCP servers
• API key from Anthropic (or OpenAI)

Usage

1. Install dependencies:

    npm install

2. Setup API key:

    cp .env.template .env

   • Update .env as needed.
   • .gitignore is configured to ignore .env to prevent accidental commits of the credentials.

3. Run the app:

    npm start
