mcp-use
An open-source client library for connecting any LLM to MCP servers in a few lines of code.
mcp-use is the consumer side of MCP: an open-source library that connects a model or agent to one or many MCP servers, handling the handshake and tool discovery so you do not write client plumbing.
It is model-agnostic and works alongside common agent frameworks, turning a set of MCP servers into tools an agent can simply use.
Where it fits
A fit when you are building an agent and want to consume existing MCP servers without writing client code.
Where it does not fit
A client, not a server framework: not the tool for exposing your own capability over MCP.
