Overview

What is MCP Crash Course?

A demonstration project showcasing integration of LangChain with Model Context Protocol (MCP) adapters. It implements a system that handles mathematical calculations and weather queries through separate MCP servers. Designed for developers learning MCP and LangChain.

How to use MCP Crash Course?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from requirements.txt, and add your OpenAI API key to a .env file. Then run python main.py for the single‑server example or python langchain_client.py for the multi‑server example.

Frequently asked questions

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.x and an OpenAI API key are required. Dependencies include `langchain-core`, `langchain-openai`, `langchain-mcp-adapters`, `langgraph`, `python-dotenv`, and `mcp`.

How do the two main scripts differ?

`main.py` uses a stdio client to connect to a single math server. `langchain_client.py` uses `MultiServerMCPClient` to manage both a math server and a weather server, allowing the agent to choose the appropriate tool.

Does MCP Crash Course require external services?

Yes. The LangChain agent uses OpenAI’s API, so a valid `OPENAI_API_KEY` must be set in the `.env` file.

What transport does the project use?

The single‑server example uses stdio client communication. The multi‑server example uses MCP’s `MultiServerMCPClient`, though the exact transport is not explicitly stated.
