### Description (declared)

# translation-helps-mcp-client 
 
Official Python client SDK for the Translation Helps MCP Server. 
 
## Installation 
 
```bash 
pip install translation-helps-mcp-client 
``` 
 
## Quick Start 
 
### Basic MCP Client Usage 
 
```python 
import asyncio 
from translation_helps import TranslationHelpsClient 
 
async def main(): 
    # Create a client instance 
    async with TranslationHelpsClient() as mcp_client: 
        # Get available tools and prompts 
        tools = await mcp_client.list_tools() 
        prompts = await mcp_client.list_prompts() 
 
        # Use tools/prompts directly with MCP-compatible interfaces 
        # (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Agents SDK) 
 
asyncio.run(main()) 
``` 
 
### Using with OpenAI Chat Completions API 
 
```python 
import asyncio 
from translation_helps import TranslationHelpsClient 
from translation_helps.adapters import prepare_tools_for_provider 
from openai import OpenAI 
 
async def main(): 
    mcp_client = TranslationHelpsClient() 
    await mcp_client.connect() 
 
    # Get tools and prompts 
    tools = await mcp_client.list_tools() 
    prompts = await mcp_client.list_prompts() 
 
    # Optional: Use adapter utility to prepare tools for OpenAI 
    openai_client = OpenAI(api_key="your-api-key") 
    openai_tools = prepare_tools_for_provider("openai", tools, prompts) 
 
    # Use with OpenAI 
    response = openai_client.chat.completions.create( 
        model="gpt-4", 
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What does John 3:16 say?"}], 
        tools=openai_tools 
    ) 
 
    # When AI requests a tool call, execute it via SDK: 
    # result = await mcp_client.call_tool(tool_name, tool_args) 
    # Feed result back to AI for final response 
 
asyncio.run(main()) 
``` 
 
**Note:** The adapter utilities are **optional**. You can also write your own conversion logic or use MCP tools/prompts directly if your provider supports MCP natively. 
 
## Usage with Context Manager 
 
```python 
import asyncio…
