Mcp Client

MCP Client for Elixir

[](https://elixir-lang.org) [](https://www.erlang.org) [](https://hex.pm/packages/mcpclient) [](https://hexdocs.pm/mcpclient) [](LICENSE)

> Canonical Model Context Protocol client for the Elixir ecosystem with first-class transports, tooling, and documentation.

✨ Highlights

• Unified transports: WebSocket, SSE, and raw TCP adapters with shared backoff + tombstone semantics
• Declarative tools: Type-safe wrappers for tool declaration, invocation, and validation
• Observability-first: Telemetry events for every hop plus structured, redactable logging helpers
• Production ergonomics: Configurable retry windows, circuit breakers, and connection watchdogs
• Docs as product: ExDoc assets, architecture guides, and SVG branding ship with the library

📦 Installation

Add mcp_client to your mix.exs dependencies:

def deps do
  [
    {:mcp_client, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Then fetch dependencies:

mix deps.get

🚀 Quick Start

1. Configure your MCP server credentials in config/runtime.exs
2. Start a connection with McpClient.start_link/1
3. Declare tools with McpClient.Tools.declare/1 and register handlers
4. Stream responses with built-in supervision, telemetry, and retries

Full guides and API docs will be published on HexDocs as the project matures.

🧪 Development

mix test
mix credo --strict
MIX_ENV=test mix coveralls.html

Dialyzer PLTs live in priv/plts (ignored in the Hex package) so shared CI nodes stay fast.
