<h2 style="border:0; margin-top:30px;">📦 Quick Start</h2>
### Build an AI Agent
Create an AI agent that can use MCP tools to accomplish complex tasks.
#### <img src="./static/python.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Python
```bash
pip install mcp-use langchain-openai
```
```python
import asyncio
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from mcp_use import MCPAgent, MCPClient
async def main():
# Configure MCP server
config = {
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
}
}
}
client = MCPClient.from_dict(config)
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
agent = MCPAgent(llm=llm, client=client)
result = await agent.run("List all files in the directory")
print(result)
asyncio.run(main())
```
[**→ Full Python Agent Documentation**](./libraries/python/README.md#quick-start)
#### <img src="./static/typescript.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Typescript
```bash
npm install mcp-use @langchain/openai
```
```typescript
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { MCPAgent, MCPClient } from "mcp-use";
async function main() {
// Configure MCP server
const config = {
mcpServers: {
filesystem: {
command: "npx",
args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"],
},
},
};
const client = MCPClient.fromDict(config);
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: "gpt-4o" });
const agent = new MCPAgent({ llm, client });
const result = await agent.run("List all files in the directory");
console.log(result);
}
main();
```
[**→ Full TypeScript Agent Documentation**](./libraries/typescript/README.md#-quick-start)
---
### Use MCP Client
Connect to MCP servers directly without an AI agent for programmatic tool access.
#### <img src="./static/python.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Python
```python
import asyncio
from mcp_use import MCPClient
async def main():
config = {
"mcpServers": {
"calculator": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
}
}
}
client = MCPClient.from_dict(config)
await client.create_all_sessions()
session = client.get_session("calculator")
result = await session.call_tool(name="add", arguments={"a": 5, "b": 3})
print(f"Result: {result.content[0].text}")
await client.close_all_sessions()
asyncio.run(main())
```
[**→ Python Client Documentation**](./libraries/python/README.md#direct-tool-calls-without-llm)
#### <img src="./static/typescript.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Typescript
```typescript
import { MCPClient } from "mcp-use";
async function main() {
const config = {
mcpServers: {
calculator: {
command: "npx",
args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"],
},
},
};
const client = new MCPClient(config);
await client.createAllSessions();
const session = client.getSession("calculator");
const result = await session.callTool("add", { a: 5, b: 3 });
console.log(`Result: ${result.content[0].text}`);
await client.closeAllSessions();
}
main();
```

### Create an MCP Server
Build your own MCP server with custom tools, resources, and prompts.
#### <img src="./static/typescript.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Typescript
```bash
npx create-mcp-use-app my-server
cd my-server
npm install
```
```typescript
import { createMCPServer } from "mcp-use/server";
import { z } from "zod";
const server = createMCPServer("my-server", {
version: "1.0.0",
description: "My custom MCP server",
});
// Define a tool
server.tool("get_weather", {
description: "Get weather for a city",
parameters: z.object({
city: z.string().describe("City name"),
}),
execute: async ({ city }) => {
return { temperature: 72, condition: "sunny", city };
},
});
// Start server with auto-inspector
server.listen(3000);
// 🎉 Inspector at http://localhost:3000/inspector
```
[**→ Full TypeScript Server Documentation**](./libraries/typescript/README.md#%EF%B8%8F-mcp-server-framework)
#### <img src="./static/python.svg" height="14" style="margin-right:4px; top:-1px; position:relative;" align="center" /> Python
**Coming Soon!** For now, please use the TypeScript implementation to create MCP servers.
---
### Use the Inspector
Debug and test your MCP servers with the interactive web-based inspector.
#### Automatic (with mcp-use server)
When you create a server with `mcp-use`, the inspector is automatically available:
```typescript
server.listen(3000);
// Inspector automatically at: http://localhost:3000/inspector
```
#### Standalone
Inspect any MCP server via CLI:
```bash
npx @mcp-use/inspector --url http://localhost:3000/sse
```
**Features:**
- 🔍 Test tools interactively with live execution
- 📊 Monitor connection status and server health
- 🔐 Handle OAuth flows automatically
- 💾 Persistent sessions with localStorage
