"""
MCP client that delegates connection management to a Transport instance.
The Client class is responsible for MCP protocol logic, while the Transport
handles connection establishment and management. Client provides methods for
working with resources, prompts, tools and other MCP capabilities.
This client supports reentrant context managers (multiple concurrent
`async with client:` blocks) using reference counting and background session
management. This allows efficient session reuse in any scenario with
nested or concurrent client usage.
MCP SDK 1.10 introduced automatic list_tools() calls during call_tool()
execution. This created a race condition where events could be reset while
other tasks were waiting on them, causing deadlocks. The issue was exposed
in proxy scenarios but affects any reentrant usage.
The solution uses reference counting to track active context managers,
a background task to manage the session lifecycle, events to coordinate
between tasks, and ensures all session state changes happen within a lock.
Events are only created when needed, never reset outside locks.
This design prevents race conditions where tasks wait on events that get
replaced by other tasks, ensuring reliable coordination in concurrent scenarios.
Args:
transport:
Connection source specification, which can be:
- ClientTransport: Direct transport instance
- FastMCP: In-process FastMCP server
- AnyUrl or str: URL to connect to
- Path: File path for local socket
- MCPConfig: MCP server configuration
- dict: Transport configuration
roots: Optional RootsList or RootsHandler for filesystem access
sampling_handler: Optional handler for sampling requests
log_handler: Optional handler for log messages
message_handler: Optional handler for protocol messages
progress_handler: Optional handler for progress notifications
timeout: Optional timeout for requests (seconds or timedelta)
init_timeout: Optional timeout for initial connection (seconds or timedelta).
Set to 0 to disable. If None, uses the value in the FastMCP global settings.
Examples:
```python
# Connect to FastMCP server
client = Client("http://localhost:8080")
async with client:
# List available resources
resources = await client.list_resources()
# Call a tool
result = await client.call_tool("my_tool", {"param": "value"})
```
