This is a MCP **client** (not a server). It is meant to be used as a library for building LLMs UI that support MCP through an OpenAI compatible API. This opens the door to locally runnable inference engines ([vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm), [Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama), [TGI](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference), [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp), [LMStudio](https://github.com/lmstudio-ai), ...) that support providing support for the OpenAI API ([text generation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation), [function calling](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling), etc.).

## Usage

It is highly recommended to use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) in your project based on mpc-openai:

- It manages python installation and virtual environment.
- It is an executable that can run self-contained python scripts (in our case MCP server)
- It is used for CI workflows.

Add mcp-openai to your project dependencies with:

```
uv add mcp-openai
```

or use classic pip install.

### Create a MCP client

Now you can create a MCP client by specifying your custom configuration.

```python
from mcp_openai import MCPClient
from mcp_openai import config

mcp_client_config = config.MCPClientConfig(
    mcpServers={
        "the-name-of-the-server": config.MCPServerConfig(
            command="uv",
            args=["run", "path/to/server/scripts.py/or/github/…
