 ### Sampling
 
-MCP servers can also request MCP client LLMs for responses. Below is an example of a sampling request sent just after connecting to the Client
+MCP servers can request LLM completions from connected clients that support sampling.
 
 ```typescript
-// Result sent back from LLM follow the CreateMessageSchema
-import {CreateMessageResult} from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js";
+import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
+import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
+import { z } from "zod";
 
-// Async Function to send a sampling request to the LLM at top-level
-async function samplingExample(server: McpServer): Promise<CreateMessageResult> {	
-  const samplingText = "Example Sampling Prompt";
-  const result = await McpServer.server.createMessage(
-    {
-      messages : [{
-        role: "user",
-        content: {
-          text: samplingText,
-          type: "text"
-        }
-      }],
-      maxTokens: 1000
-    }
-  );
-  return result;

+  name: "tools-with-sample-server",

-server.connect(transport);
-samplingExample(server);

 ```

 ## Running Your Server
 
 MCP servers in TypeScript need to be connected to a transport to communicate with clients. How you start the server depends on the choice of transport:
