How to Set Up and Use MCP Client-Server Library
The MCP Server and Client project (and-client) is a reference implementation and learning resource that demonstrates how to build both an MCP server and an MCP client using the Model Context Protocol Python SDK. Created to accompany a detailed video tutorial by WebDevSimplified, it shows developers the full bidirectional communication pattern — how servers expose tools and resources, and how clients discover and call them. It is primarily used by developers learning to integrate MCP into their own applications or building custom MCP-powered workflows.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ installed
- uv or pip package manager available
- The MCP Python SDK: pip install mcp
- An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor) or ability to run the included client script directly
Clone the repository
Clone the WebDevSimplified mcp-server-and-client repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/WebDevSimplified/mcp-server-and-client.git
cd mcp-server-and-clientInstall Python dependencies
Install the MCP Python SDK and any other required packages.
pip install mcp
# or with uv:
uv pip install mcpRun the MCP server
Start the server component, which exposes tools and resources over the MCP protocol via stdio transport.
python src/server.pyRun the MCP client
In a separate terminal, run the client script to connect to the server and call the exposed tools.
python src/client.pyAdd the server to Claude Desktop (optional)
To use the server with Claude Desktop, register it in your MCP client configuration. The server runs as a Python subprocess.

Example interactions once the server is connected to an MCP client.
- "List all tools available on the connected MCP server"
- "Call the example tool with the parameter: hello world"
- "Show me the resources exposed by this server"
- "Demonstrate bidirectional communication between the client and server"Troubleshooting MCP Client-Server Library
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp'
Install the MCP Python SDK with: pip install mcp. If using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated before running the server or client scripts.
Client cannot connect to server
Ensure the server is running before starting the client. The server communicates via stdio, so when integrating with Claude Desktop, the absolute path to server.py must be correct and Python must be on the system PATH.
Server exits immediately without output
Check that the Python version is 3.10 or higher ('python --version'). The MCP SDK requires Python 3.10+ for certain type hint and async features used in the implementation.
