Agent Builder MCP Client

An async Python client for talking to MCP servers, used by the Agent Builder SDK to invoke tools exposed over MCP.

Use it from any Python code that needs to call MCP tools — for example, an agent runtime that talks to one or more MCP servers.

Installation

pip install agent-builder-mcp-client-aws-transform

Quick start

import asyncio
from agent_builder_mcp_client import AsyncMCPClient


async def main():
    client = AsyncMCPClient()

    # Connect over stdio (local server process)
    await client.connect_via_stdio(command="agent-builder-mcp")

    # Or connect over SSE (remote server)
    # await client.connect_via_sse(server_url="https://example.com/mcp")

    # Inspect the tools the server exposes
    for tool in client.tools:
        print(tool.name, tool.description)


asyncio.run(main())

Transports

• stdio — launch and talk to a local MCP server subprocess.
• SSE — connect to a remote MCP server over HTTP with server-sent events, including optional custom headers for auth.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
