# MCP Client Skill
Implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) client for connecting to tools and data sources.
## What it does
- **Connect to MCP Servers** - Access tools and resources from MCP-enabled services
- **Tool Invocation** - Call tools exposed by MCP servers
- **Resource Access** - Read files, databases, APIs
- **Prompt Templates** - Use structured prompts from MCP servers
## Installation
```powershell
# Install Python dependencies (requests is the only required dependency)
pip install requests
```
## Usage
### Connect to MCP Server
```powershell
.\mcp.ps1 -Action connect -ServerUrl "https://mcp-server.com" -ApiKey "your-key"
```
### List Available Tools
```powershell
.\mcp.ps1 -Action tools -ServerUrl "https://mcp-server.com"
```
### Call a Tool
```powershell
.\mcp.ps1 -Action call -ServerUrl "https://mcp-server.com" -ToolName "search" -Arguments '{"query": "AI agents"}'
```
### List Resources
```powershell
.\mcp.ps1 -Action resources -ServerUrl "https://mcp-server.com"
```
### Read a Resource
```powershell
.\mcp.ps1 -Action read -ServerUrl "https://mcp-server.com" -ResourceUri "file:///data/config.json"
```
## MCP Concepts
- **MCP Server**: Service that exposes tools, resources, and prompts
- **Tools**: Functions the LLM/agent can call
- **Resources**: Data sources (files, APIs, DBs)
- **Prompts**: Pre-defined prompt templates
## API Reference
```
POST /mcp/connect - Connect to server
GET /mcp/tools - List available tools
POST /mcp/call - Invoke a tool
GET /mcp/resources - List resources
GET /mcp/read - Read resource
GET /mcp/prompts - List prompt templates
```
## Examples
### Python Usage
```python
from mcp_client import MCPClient
client = MCPClient("https://mcp-server.com", api_key="key")
# List tools
tools = client.list_tools()
print(tools)
# Call tool
result = client.call_tool("search", {"query": "quantum"})
print(result)
# Read resource
data = client.read_resource("file:///config.json")
print(data)
```
## ⚠️ Security Warnings
### file:// URI Risk
The MCP protocol allows `file:///path` URIs to read files from the server. **Only connect to trusted MCP servers.** A malicious server could exfiltrate sensitive files.
### Best Practices
- Only use MCP servers you control or trust
- Don't connect to random public MCP servers
- Review what tools/resources are available before using
## Requirements
- Review what tools/resources are available before using
- Python 3.8+
- requests library
