For what it’s worth, several months ago, in Langroid (an agent framework that works with any LLM) we added an adaptor using FastMCP that translates between Langroid’s Tools and MCP tools, so effectively it’s a way to connect any LLM to any MCP server.

We designed this slightly differently where one can use the client directly an not only in our agent, the structure is more focused around the MCP functionality.

I'm confused -- I didn't see a single example in you readme or docs that uses the client WITHOUT your agent. Trying to understand if this is an alternative to FastMCP. I don't want your agent.

Hey, we have an example in our readme and docs about how to build your custom agent. but you are right, we should probably fill the client section of the documentations with examples on how to use the client API in more details. Will be done!

The extent to which this is an alternative to FastMCP depends a bit on your use case. As long as you are not interested at all in any agent, they are alternative, but if you want to create an agent we will be closer to what you need. We designed our client with the creation of an agent in mind, and will continue to do so, the design is geared towards this and we have examples of how to use this in our agent.

FastMCP client is very similar today. I see the influence of our design in their implementation. We spoke to the authors a month back and the position was that they wanted something they could use to test their own servers, so the ultimate intention was different. Not sure where it is going to go.

In my case I'm creating the agent in a custom way (using the BAML framework), so I don't need the agent part of your solution. FastMCP works ok but has some issues, so if you have a better client than can be used as a replacement, I would potentially be interested.

		I'd love to hear what you do not like about their client. What issues does it have ?
