适配 OpenAI SDK 构建 MCP Client

官方文档

项目背景

开发这个适配 OpenAI SDK 的 MCP Client 的原因是，在按照官方示例构建 MCP Client 时，我发现官方示例代码中没有适配 OpenAI SDK 的代码。

文件说明

  • client.py：适配了 OpenAI SDK 的 MCP Client。
  • client_new.py：为解决我在Windows遇到的问题而适配的版本。
  • client_20250316.py：增加了日志以及增加接收来自server的一些特定消息。请看我的知乎文章-从MCP Client-Server 生命周期出发，深入研究 MCP 的完整交互链路 ，里面详细介绍了这个MCP Client的Server生命周期。
  • weather_new.py：增加了模拟动态更新server工具的代码。与client_20250316.py一起使用。

遇到的问题

在构建过程中，我遇到了一些问题。具体可以阅读下我的知乎文章如何构建自己的MCP Client，也可以持续关注我的MCP专栏
