# Connect to the MCP server
client = MCPClient("http://localhost:8080")
# Use resources
issues = client.fetch_resource("jira://issues")
# Execute tools
result = client.execute_tool("create_issue", {
"summary": "Fix login bug",
"issue_type": "Bug",
"priority": "High"
})
# Get prompts
template = client.get_prompt("create_bug_report", {
"component": "Authentication",
