## Quick Start
### Client Example
```rust
use pmcp::{Client, StdioTransport, ClientCapabilities};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create client with stdio transport
let transport = StdioTransport::new();
let mut client = Client::new(transport);
// Initialize connection
let server_info = client.initialize(ClientCapabilities::default()).await?;
println!("Connected to: {}", server_info.server_info.name);
// List available tools
let tools = client.list_tools(None).await?;
for tool in tools.tools {
println!("Tool: {} - {:?}", tool.name, tool.description);
}
// Call a tool
let result = client.call_tool("get-weather", serde_json::json!({
"location": "San Francisco"
})).await?;
Ok(())
}
```
### Server Example
```rust
use pmcp::{Server, ServerCapabilities, ToolHandler};
use async_trait::async_trait;
use serde_json::Value;
struct WeatherTool;
#[async_trait]
impl ToolHandler for WeatherTool {
async fn handle(&self, args: Value) -> pmcp::Result<Value> {
let location = args["location"].as_str()
.ok_or_else(|| pmcp::Error::validation("location required"))?;
// Implement weather fetching logic
Ok(serde_json::json!({
"temperature": 72,
"condition": "sunny",
"location": location
}))
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let server = Server::builder()
.name("weather-server")
.version("1.0.0")
.capabilities(ServerCapabilities::tools_only())
