HTTP Transport Example

This example demonstrates how to use the HTTP transport in MCP. It consists of a server that provides a simple time tool and a client that connects to it.

Running the Example

1. First, start the server:

   go run server/main.go
   

   This will start an HTTP server on port 8080.

2. In another terminal, run the client:

   go run client/main.go
   

The client will:

1. Connect to the server
2. List available tools
3. Call the time tool with different time formats
4. Display the results

Understanding the Code

• server/main.go: Shows how to create an MCP server using HTTP transport and register a tool
• client/main.go: Shows how to create an MCP client that connects to an HTTP server and calls tools

The example demonstrates:

• Setting up HTTP transport
• Tool registration and description
• Tool parameter handling
• Making tool calls with different arguments
• Handling tool responses
