# An LLM-Powered Chatbot MCP Client written in Ruby
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Build an MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/build-client) tutorial for more information.
|
||||
An interactive chatbot MCP client: it launches an MCP server over stdio, lists its tools, and hands them to Claude, which can call them while answering your questions.
|
||||
|
||||
This example accompanies the [Build an MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/build-client) tutorial.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Ruby 3.4+ (3.3 also satisfies the gems)
|
||||
- Bundler
|
||||
- An [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/) (optional — see below)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Install the gems, then put your API key in a `.env` file (or export `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in your shell):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bundle install
|
||||
cp .env.example .env
|
||||
# then edit .env and add your key
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the client
|
||||
|
||||
Pass the path to a server script. `.rb` servers are launched with `ruby`, `.py` with `python3`, and `.js` with `node`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bundle exec ruby client.rb ../weather-server-ruby/weather.rb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Type a question (for example, "What's the weather in Sacramento?") and Claude answers using the server's tools. Type `quit` to exit.
|
||||
|
||||
Without an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, the client still connects, prints the server's tools, and exits — useful for verifying the MCP wiring without credentials.
