Summary
In this chapter, we covered quite a bit of information. The most important takeaway is that client and server communication needs to be initialized before further action can take place. Fortunately, most SDKs take care of the initialization part, and you can usually start the client-server communication by calling and listing tools and more. Hopefully, this was a good read for both those who find diagrams clarifying and those who like to see how code looks. The code works, but could surely be improved for performance, maintainability, and more. Do give the code a try – check the solutions folder.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to build and test our first server. The chapter will serve as a good introduction to getting hands-on with MCP.
