+
+## Getting Started
+
+### General Setup
+
+All MCP tools follow a similar pattern:
+
+1. **Install dependencies**:
+```bash
+cd <tool_directory>
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+2. **Configure environment variables**:
+```bash
+export API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+```
+
+3. **Run the server**:
+```bash
+python <tool_name>.py
+```
+
+4. **Test the server**:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/health
+```
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+Each tool includes a Dockerfile for containerized deployment:
+
+```bash
+cd <tool_directory>
+docker build -t <tool-name>-mcp .
+docker run -p 8000:8000 -e API_KEY="your-key" <tool-name>-mcp
+```
+
+## MCP Protocol
+
+All tools expose functionality via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows AI assistants to discover and use these tools programmatically.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Tool Discovery**: Tools are self-describing with metadata
+- **Type Safety**: Strong typing for parameters and returns
+- **Documentation**: Built-in documentation for each tool
+- **Error Handling**: Standardized error responses
+- **Transport**: HTTP transport support (streamable HTTP optional)
+
+### Tool Annotations
+
+Tools use annotations to describe their behavior:
+- `readOnlyHint`: Indicates if the tool only reads data
+- `destructiveHint`: Warns if the tool modifies or deletes data
+- `idempotentHint`: Indicates if repeated calls have the same effect
+
+## Framework Comparison
+
+| Tool | Language | Framework | Key Library |
+|------|----------|-----------|-------------|
+| Weather | Python | FastMCP | requests |
+| Movie | Python | FastMCP | requests + OMDb |
+| Slack | Python | FastMCP | slack_sdk |
+| GitHub | Go | Custom | GitHub API |
+| Shopping Agent | Python | FastMCP | LangChain + LangGraph |
+
+## Advanced Example: Shopping Agent Architecture
+
+The Shopping Agent demonstrates an advanced MCP tool with:
+
+```
+User Query
+    ↓
+Parse Query Node (OpenAI)
+    ↓
+Search Products Node (SerpAPI)
+    ↓
+Generate Recommendations Node (OpenAI)
+    ↓
+Structured Response
+```
+
+**Key Technologies**:
+- **LangGraph**: Multi-node agent workflow with state management
+- **LangChain**: LLM framework for tool integration
+- **OpenAI**: Natural language understanding and generation
+- **SerpAPI**: Real-time search across retailers
+
+See [shopping_agent/ARCHITECTURE.md](shopping_agent/ARCHITECTURE.md) for detailed architecture.
+
+## Creating Your Own MCP Tool
+
+### Basic Template
+
+```python
+import os
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+
+mcp = FastMCP("My Tool")
+
+@mcp.tool(annotations={"readOnlyHint": True})
+def my_function(param: str) -> str:
+    """Tool description"""
+    # Your logic here
+    return result
+
+def run_server():
+    transport = os.getenv("MCP_TRANSPORT", "http")
+    host = os.getenv("HOST", "0.0.0.0")
+    port = int(os.getenv("PORT", "8000"))
+    mcp.run(transport=transport, host=host, port=port)
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    run_server()
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Environment Variables**: Use env vars for API keys and configuration
+2. **Error Handling**: Return structured error responses
+3. **Logging**: Use appropriate log levels
+4. **Documentation**: Include docstrings for all tools
+5. **Type Hints**: Use type hints for parameters and returns
+6. **Testing**: Provide test clients or scripts
+7. **Docker**: Include Dockerfile for deployment
+8. **README**: Comprehensive documentation
+
+## Common Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| HOST | Server host address | 0.0.0.0 |
+| PORT | Server port | 8000 |
+| MCP_TRANSPORT | Transport protocol | http |
+| LOG_LEVEL | Logging level | INFO |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Server Won't Start
+
+1. Check API keys are set
+2. Verify port 8000 is available
+3. Check Python version (3.10+)
+4. Review logs for errors
+
+### Tool Returns Errors
+
+1. Verify API keys are valid

+
+## Component Details
+
+### 1. FastMCP Server Layer
+
+**Purpose**: Exposes tools via Model Context Protocol
+
+**Components**:
+- `FastMCP("Shopping Agent")`: MCP server instance
+- Tool decorators with proper annotations
+- HTTP transport support (MCP Inspector compatible)
+- Environment-based configuration
+
+**Key Features**:
+- RESTful API endpoints for tools
+- Tool metadata and documentation
+- Error handling and validation
+- Logging and monitoring
+
+### 2. LangGraph Agent Core
+
+**Purpose**: Orchestrates multi-step agent workflow with state management
+
+**State Definition**:
+```python
+class AgentState(TypedDict):
+    messages: Annotated[List, add_messages]      # Conversation history
+    search_results: List[Dict[str, Any]]         # Raw search data
+    recommendations: List[Dict[str, Any]]         # Final recommendations
+```
+
+**Workflow Graph**:
+```
+START
+  ↓
+[parse_query]
+  ↓
+[search_products]
+  ↓
+[generate_recommendations]
+  ↓
+END
+```
+
+**Node Functions**:
+1. **parse_query_node**: Extracts structured data from natural language
+2. **search_products_node**: Performs product search via SerpAPI
+3. **generate_recommendations_node**: Creates curated recommendations
+
+### 3. Node Implementations
+
+#### Parse Query Node
+
+```
+Input:  "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars"
+        ↓
+    [OpenAI GPT-4o-mini]
+        ↓
+Output: {product: "scarf", budget: "40"}
+```
+
+**Process**:
+1. Receives user query in natural language
+2. Uses OpenAI to extract structured information
+3. Identifies product type and budget constraints
+4. Updates state with parsed data
+
+#### Search Products Node
+
+```
+Input:  {product: "scarf", budget: "40"}
+        ↓
+    [SerpAPI Search]
+        ↓
+Output: Raw search results from retailers
+```
+
+**Process**:
+1. Constructs optimized search query
+2. Queries SerpAPI for product listings
+3. Aggregates results from multiple sources
+4. Stores raw results in state
+
+#### Generate Recommendations Node
+
+```
+Input:  Raw search results
+        ↓
+    [OpenAI GPT-4o-mini]
+        ↓
+Output: Structured recommendations (max 5)
+```
+
+**Process**:
+1. Analyzes search results using OpenAI
+2. Extracts product details (name, price, description)
+3. Generates reasoning for each recommendation
+4. Formats as structured JSON response
+5. Limits to requested number of recommendations
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### Request Flow
+
+```
+1. Client sends query
+   ↓
+2. MCP server receives request
+   ↓
+3. Tool validates parameters
+   ↓
+4. LangGraph agent initialized
+   ↓
+5. State created with initial message
+   ↓
+6. Workflow executes sequentially:
+   a. Parse query (OpenAI)
+   b. Search products (SerpAPI)
+   c. Generate recommendations (OpenAI)
+   ↓
+7. Final state extracted
+   ↓
+8. Recommendations formatted as JSON
+   ↓
+9. Response sent to client
+```
+
+### State Transitions
+
+```
+Initial State:
+{
+  messages: [HumanMessage("I want a scarf for $40")],
+  search_results: [],
+  recommendations: []
+}
+    ↓ [parse_query]
+{
+  messages: [..., AIMessage("Searching for scarf within budget $40...")],
+  search_results: [],
+  recommendations: []
+}
+    ↓ [search_products]
+{
+  messages: [...],
+  search_results: [{raw_results: "...search data..."}],
+  recommendations: []
+}
+    ↓ [generate_recommendations]
+{
+  messages: [..., AIMessage("Here are my top recommendations...")],
+  search_results: [...],
+  recommendations: [
+    {name: "Product 1", price: "$38.99", ...},
+    {name: "Product 2", price: "$39.99", ...},
+    ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### External APIs
+
+#### OpenAI API
+- **Usage**: Natural language understanding and generation
+- **Model**: gpt-4o-mini
+- **Calls per request**: 2 (parse + generate)
+- **Authentication**: API key via environment variable
+
+#### SerpAPI
+- **Usage**: Real-time product search
+- **Calls per request**: 1
+- **Authentication**: API key via environment variable
+- **Results**: Aggregated from multiple retailers

+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Flow
+
+```
+Try:
+    Execute workflow
+    ↓
+    [Node execution]
+    ↓
+    Check for errors
+Except APIError:
+    Log error
+    Return structured error response
+Except ValidationError:
+    Log error
+    Return validation error
+Except Exception:
+    Log with traceback
+    Return generic error
+Finally:
+    Clean up resources
+```
+
+### Error Types
+
+1. **API Key Errors**: Missing or invalid API keys
+2. **API Quota Errors**: Rate limits exceeded
+3. **Network Errors**: Connection failures
+4. **Parsing Errors**: Invalid JSON responses
+5. **Validation Errors**: Invalid parameters
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Latency Breakdown
+
+```
+Total Request Time: ~5-10 seconds
+    ├── Parse Query: ~1-2 seconds (OpenAI)
+    ├── Search Products: ~2-3 seconds (SerpAPI)
+    └── Generate Recommendations: ~2-5 seconds (OpenAI)
+```
+
+### Optimization Strategies
+
+1. **Parallel API Calls**: Future enhancement to call OpenAI and SerpAPI in parallel where possible
+2. **Caching**: Cache common searches
+3. **Result Limiting**: Limit search results to reduce processing time
+4. **Model Selection**: Use gpt-4o-mini for cost-effective performance
+
+## Scalability

+# Shopping Agent - Quick Start Guide
+
+This guide will help you get the Shopping Agent MCP server up and running quickly.
+
+## What You'll Need
+
+1. **OpenAI API Key** - Get it from [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
+2. **SerpAPI Key** - Get it from [SerpAPI Dashboard](https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key)
+3. **Python 3.10+** - Check with `python --version`
+4. **uv package manager** - Install from [Astral UV](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Set Up API Keys
+
+```bash
+# Export your API keys
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-openai-key-here"
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-serpapi-key-here"
+```
+
+**Tip**: Add these to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` to persist them:
+```bash
+echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-key"' >> ~/.zshrc
+echo 'export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key"' >> ~/.zshrc
+source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+### Step 2: Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+cd mcp/shopping_agent
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Step 3: Start the Server
+
+```bash
+python shopping_agent.py
+```
+
+You should see:
+```
+INFO: Starting Shopping Agent MCP Server with LangChain and LangGraph
+INFO: Server running on http://0.0.0.0:8000
+```
+
+### Step 4: Test the Server
+
+In a new terminal:
+
+```bash
+# Test with the provided test client
+python test_client.py
+
+# Or test manually with curl
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/recommend_products \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars",
+    "maxResults": 5
+  }'
+```
+
+## MCP Inspector Demo (HTTP Transport)
+
+Use the MCP Inspector UI to explore the server without writing client code:
+
+1. Start the shopping agent with explicit port/transport so it is easy to find:
+   ```bash
+   cd mcp/shopping_agent
+   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
+   export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key"
+   MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=8001 python shopping_agent.py
+   ```
+2. In a separate terminal (Node.js ≥18 required) launch the inspector:
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+   ```
+3. When the browser opens, choose **Add server** and fill in:
+   - Name: `Shopping Agent`
+   - Transport: `HTTP` (use `Streamable HTTP` if that is the option offered)
+   - URL: `http://localhost:8001`
+4. Connect and explore the `recommend_products` and `search_products` tools from the **Tools** tab. The response JSON renders in the inspector panel.
+
+To compare behaviour with the movie MCP server, repeat the steps with `PORT=8002 MCP_TRANSPORT=http python ../movie_tool/movie_tool.py` and add it as a second server in the inspector.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Shopping for Scarves
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/recommend_products \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars. Recommend me some options.",
+    "maxResults": 5
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "query": "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars. Recommend me some options.",
+  "recommendations": [
+    {
+      "name": "Winter Wool Scarf",
+      "price": "$38.99",
+      "description": "Soft merino wool scarf in multiple colors",
+      "url": "https://...",
+      "reason": "High quality within budget with excellent reviews"
+    },
+    // ... 4 more recommendations
+  ],
+  "count": 5
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Finding Headphones
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/tools/recommend_products \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "wireless headphones under $100 with noise cancellation",
+    "maxResults": 5
+  }'
+```
+
+### Example 3: Using Python Client
+
+```python
+import requests
+import json
+
+response = requests.post(
+    "http://localhost:8000/tools/recommend_products",
+    json={
+        "query": "best laptop under $800 for programming",
+        "maxResults": 5
+    }
+)
+
+recommendations = response.json()
+print(json.dumps(recommendations, indent=2))
+```
+

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10 or higher
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) package manager
+- OpenAI API key
+- SerpAPI key
+
+### Installation
+
+1. **Get API Keys:**
+   - OpenAI API key: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
+   - SerpAPI key: https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key
+
+2. **Install Dependencies:**
+
+```bash
+cd mcp/shopping_agent
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+Set the required environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-serpapi-key"
+```
+
+Optional configuration:
+```bash
+export HOST="0.0.0.0"                    # Server host (default: 0.0.0.0)
+export PORT="8000"                        # Server port (default: 8000)
+export MCP_TRANSPORT="http"               # Transport type (default: http, Inspector-ready)
+export MCP_JSON_RESPONSE="1"              # Force JSON responses (default: enabled)
+export LOG_LEVEL="INFO"                   # Logging level (default: INFO)
+```
+
+## Running the Server
+
+### Development Mode
+
+```bash
+cd mcp/shopping_agent
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key"
+python shopping_agent.py
+```
+
+The server will start on `http://0.0.0.0:8000` by default.
+
+### Command-line options
+
+You can override server behaviour with CLI flags:
+
+```bash
+uv run shopping_agent.py --json-response --port 8020
+```
+
+- `--json-response` / `--no-json-response`: toggle JSON responses without touching `MCP_JSON_RESPONSE`
+- `--stateless-http` / `--stateful-http`: control FastMCP stateless HTTP mode
+- `--host`, `--port`, `--transport`: override bind settings (fall back to environment variables when omitted)
+
+### MCP Inspector Demo (HTTP Transport)
+
+Follow these steps to debug the shopping agent with the official MCP Inspector UI:
+
+1. Start the server on its own port using HTTP transport:
+   ```bash
+   cd mcp/shopping_agent
+   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
+   export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key"
+   MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=8001 python shopping_agent.py
+   ```
+2. In a new terminal (requires Node.js ≥18), launch the inspector:
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+   ```
+3. In the Inspector UI choose **Add server**, then supply:
+   - Name: `Shopping Agent (HTTP)`
+   - Transport: `HTTP` (or `Streamable HTTP` on older Inspector releases)
+   - URL: `http://localhost:8001`
+4. Click **Connect**, open the **Tools** tab, and invoke `recommend_products` or `search_products`. Responses stream in the right-hand panel.
+
+Tip: run the `movie_tool` server on a different port (for example `PORT=8002 MCP_TRANSPORT=http python ../movie_tool/movie_tool.py`) to compare both MCP servers side by side inside the inspector.
+
+### Using Docker
+
+```bash
+cd mcp/shopping_agent
+
+# Build the image
+docker build -t shopping-agent-mcp .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 8000:8000 \
+  -e OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key" \
+  -e SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-serpapi-key" \
+  shopping-agent-mcp
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+The shopping agent uses LangGraph to implement a multi-step workflow:
+
+```
+User Query → Parse Query → Search Products → Generate Recommendations → Return Results
+```
+
+### LangGraph Workflow
+
+1. **Parse Query Node**: Uses OpenAI to extract product type and budget from natural language
+2. **Search Products Node**: Queries SerpAPI for relevant products across retailers
+3. **Generate Recommendations Node**: Uses OpenAI to analyze results and create personalized recommendations
+
+### Technologies Used
+
+- **FastMCP**: MCP server framework
+- **LangChain**: LLM application framework
+- **LangGraph**: Agent workflow orchestration
+- **OpenAI GPT-4**: Natural language understanding and generation
+- **SerpAPI**: Real-time product search across retailers
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Product Search
+
+```python
+# Query
+"I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars"
+
+# Response
+{
+  "recommendations": [
+    {
+      "name": "Winter Wool Scarf",
+      "price": "$38.99",
+      "description": "100% merino wool, various colors",
+      "reason": "High quality, within budget, great reviews"
+    },
+    // ... 4 more recommendations
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Specific Requirements
+
+```python
+# Query
+"Find me wireless headphones under $100 with good noise cancellation"
+
+# Response includes 5 curated recommendations with:
+# - Product names
+# - Prices
+# - Detailed descriptions
+# - Reasons for recommendation
+# - Purchase links
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+You can test the MCP server tools using curl:
+
+```bash
+# Test recommend_products tool
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp/tools/recommend_products \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars",
+    "maxResults": 5
+  }'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### API Key Issues
+
+If you see "API key not configured" errors:
+1. Verify your API keys are set correctly
+2. Check that environment variables are exported in the same shell session
+3. Restart the server after setting environment variables
+
+### No Results Returned
+

+# Shopping Agent MCP Server - Troubleshooting Guide
+
+## ❌ Error: "Not Acceptable: Client must accept text/event-stream"
+
+### What This Error Means
+
+This error is **NORMAL and EXPECTED** when you try to access `http://localhost:8000/mcp` in a web browser!
+
+**Why it happens:**
+- The `/mcp` endpoint uses the MCP protocol (JSON-RPC over HTTP/SSE)
+- Browsers send standard HTTP headers that don't include `Accept: text/event-stream`
+- The server correctly rejects the request because it's not a proper MCP client
+
+**This does NOT mean your server is broken!** Your server is running correctly - it's just protecting itself from improper requests.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ How to Properly Test Your MCP Server
+
+### Method 1: Use the MCP Inspector (RECOMMENDED)
+
+The MCP Inspector is the official tool for testing MCP servers:
+
+1. **Start your server** (in one terminal):
+   ```bash
+   cd mcp/shopping_agent
+   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+   export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+   python3 shopping_agent.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Launch the Inspector** (in another terminal):
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+   ```
+
+3. **Connect to your server** (in the Inspector UI at http://localhost:5173):
+   - Click **"Add Server"**
+   - Name: `Shopping Agent`
+   - Transport: **HTTP** (or "Streamable HTTP" in older versions)
+   - URL: `http://localhost:8000`
+   - Click **"Connect"**
+
+4. **Test the tools**:
+   - Go to the **"Tools"** tab
+   - Select `recommend_products` or `search_products`
+   - Fill in the parameters
+   - Click "Run"
+   - See the results!
+
+### Method 2: Direct Function Testing
+
+Test the functions directly without the MCP protocol layer:
+
+```bash
+cd mcp/shopping_agent
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+python3 test_simple.py
+```
+
+This imports and calls the functions directly, bypassing the MCP protocol.
+
+### Method 3: Using MCP JSON-RPC (Advanced)
+
+If you want to test the MCP protocol directly with curl:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Accept: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "id": 1,
+    "method": "initialize",
+    "params": {
+      "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
+      "capabilities": {},
+      "clientInfo": {"name": "test-client", "version": "1.0.0"}
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+Then to call a tool:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/mcp \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "Accept: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+    "id": 2,
+    "method": "tools/call",
+    "params": {
+      "name": "recommend_products",
+      "arguments": {
+        "query": "I want to buy a scarf for 40 dollars",
+        "maxResults": 5
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### "API key not configured"
+
+**Solution:** Set your environment variables before starting the server:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY="..."
+```
+
+Then restart the server.
+
+### "Server shows running but I get errors"
+
+**This is expected!** The server IS running correctly. You're just accessing it the wrong way. See the testing methods above.
+
+### "I want to see if the server is alive"
+
+The server doesn't have a `/health` endpoint currently. To verify it's running:
+
+1. Check the terminal - you should see: `Starting MCP server transport=http host=0.0.0.0 port=8000`
+2. Use the MCP Inspector to connect
+3. Or use the curl JSON-RPC examples above
+
+---
+
+## Understanding MCP Servers
+
+MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are NOT traditional REST APIs:
+
+| Traditional REST API | MCP Server |
+|---------------------|------------|
+| GET /api/products | JSON-RPC method: tools/call |
+| Direct browser access ✅ | Direct browser access ❌ |
+| Simple curl works | Needs proper MCP client |
+| Returns JSON | Uses JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol |
+
+**Key Point:** MCP servers need proper clients. You can't just open them in a browser!
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Is my server working?
+✅ Yes, if you see: `Starting MCP server transport=http host=0.0.0.0 port=8000`
+
+### Why can't I access it in my browser?
+🚫 MCP protocol requires proper clients, not browsers
+
+### How do I test it?
+✅ Use MCP Inspector: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`
+
+### Where do I connect?
+✅ URL: `http://localhost:8000` (NOT /mcp!)
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+**The error you're seeing is CORRECT behavior!**
+
+Your server is:
+- ✅ Running properly
+- ✅ Protecting itself from improper requests
+- ✅ Ready to accept MCP protocol requests
+
+To use it, you need:
+- ✅ MCP Inspector (recommended)
+- ✅ Proper MCP client
+- ✅ Or direct function calls for testing
+
+**Next step:** Launch the MCP Inspector and connect to `http://localhost:8000`
