 "what": "The MCP Python SDK is the official Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol. It builds MCP servers that expose tools, resources and prompts to any MCP host and MCP clients that connect to any server, over stdio, Streamable HTTP and SSE. Type hints become the schema, and the optional cli extra adds the mcp command with mcp dev, mcp run and mcp install.",
