mcp-client-server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard designed to connect AI assistants with various data sources. This project provides a practical implementation of both a client and server for MCP, showcasing how to interact with AI models like Anthropic's Claude. The server is built using Express.js and supports both HTTP and WebSocket communication, allowing for real-time, interactive dialogues. The client is designed to be simple and versatile, supporting multiple communication methods. The project includes demo applications to illustrate basic HTTP communication, WebSocket streaming, and an interactive chat console.
