 "summary": "Use the FastMCP client to connect to a local or remote server by URL and call its tools programmatically.",
 "who": "An engineer testing an MCP server or building an app that uses tools from other MCP servers.",
 "problem": "Talking to MCP servers directly means handling transports, auth and protocol lifecycle yourself.",
 "outcome": "A Python script that connects to any MCP server and calls its tools, with transport negotiation managed for you.",
 "steps": [
  "Install with `uv add fastmcp`",
  "Read the Clients guide at gofastmcp.com",
  "Point a FastMCP client at the server URL; transport negotiation, authentication and protocol lifecycle are handled",
  "List the server's tools and call them from your script or tests",
  "Use the CLI option from the Clients docs for quick one-off checks"
 ],
