Model Context Protocol

This example demonstrates how to integrate an MCP server into your workflow, and enable those tools to be used in a GenSX workflow.

See it on Github .

What it demonstrates

Instantiate an MCP server
Pass the tools to OpenAI for execution

Getting Started

Install dependencies:
```
pnpm install
```

Run the example:


OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_api_key> pnpm run start

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data sources and AI-powered tools. MCP allows AI assistants to access relevant context from various systems where data lives, including content repositories, business tools, and development environments.

This example demonstrates how to create components that connect to and interact with MCP servers.

To cover the 25x25 room while excluding the 3.5 x 3 ft area, you'll need approximately **369 pieces** of flooring, given each piece measures 5 inches by 4 feet.
