MCP # 0008 # Build Your Own MCP Client in Python - Connect to Any MCP Server

Description

#mcp #modelcontextprotocol #llm #mcpclient #fastmcp #mcptutorials #python In this video, we will build our own MCP Client from scratch using Python and FastMCP. We will start by understanding what an MCP Client actually does. An MCP Client is responsible for starting up the server, discovering what tools, resources and prompts are available, and then calling those tools when needed. Claude Desktop does exactly this - it just has an MCP Client built inside it. Then we will write our own MCP Client in Python using the FastMCP library. We will use the Client class from FastMCP, connect it to our own weather server that we built in the previous video, and then do three things: Ping the server to check if the connection is working List all tools that the server exposes Call a tool and get a real result back
