# An LLM-Powered Chatbot MCP Client written in Rust
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
- Rust (stable) and Cargo
|
||||
- An [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/) (optional — see below)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Export your API key, or put it in a `.env` file in this directory (the `.env` file is optional):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the client
|
||||
|
||||
Pass the command that starts the server — a binary or a script — after `--`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo run -- ../weather-server-rust/target/release/weather
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(Build the server first with `cargo build --release` in its directory.)
|
||||
|
||||
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.
