Overview
What is McpClientServerExample?
McpClientServerExample is a sample project that demonstrates client-server communication using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It includes a custom McpClient and an McpServer, built without relying on the Claude Client App.
How to use McpClientServerExample?
Clone the repository and ensure you have .NET 8.0 SDK and an OpenAI API key (if using GPT models). Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable, then run the client with dotnet run --project client/McpClient.csproj.
