MCP Gradio Client

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Call and integrate external tools exposed by MCP servers (e.g., weather, calculators, or custom services) from within a chat interface.

• 2

  Support both STDIO-launched tool servers and externally hosted SSE tool servers, allowing flexible deployment and testing.

• 3

  A developer-friendly UI for prototyping, debugging, and dynamically discovering available tools via a Gradio interface.

Description

This repository implements a proof-of-concept Model Context Protocol (MCP) client with a Gradio interface, demonstrating how to connect to MCP servers using both STDIO and SSE communication methods. It supports dynamic discovery and loading of tools exposed by MCP servers, optional debug logging, and configuration via a config.json file. STDIO servers can be auto-instantiated by the app while SSE servers must be started separately. The project is intended for prototyping and exploring integrations between language models and external tools using MCP.
