+# Multi-Server MCP Client Example
+
+A CLI chatbot that connects to multiple MCP servers simultaneously, aggregates their tools, and routes tool calls to the correct server. This is the TypeScript equivalent of the [Python SDK's simple-chatbot example](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/tree/main/examples/clients/simple-chatbot).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 20+
+- An [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies (from repo root)
+pnpm install
+
+# Set your API key
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+
+# Run with the default servers.json config
+cd examples/client-multi-server
+npx tsx src/index.ts
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Servers are configured via a JSON file (default: `servers.json` in the working directory). Pass a custom path as the first argument:
+
+```bash
+npx tsx src/index.ts /path/to/my-servers.json
+```
+
+The config file uses the same format as Claude Desktop and other MCP clients:
+
+```json
+{
+    "mcpServers": {
+        "everything": {
+            "command": "npx",
+            "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
+        },
+        "memory": {
+            "command": "npx",
+            "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"]
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Each entry under `mcpServers` defines a server to connect to via stdio:
+
+- `command`: the executable to run
+- `args`: command-line arguments (optional)
+- `env`: additional environment variables (optional, merged with the current environment)
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Reads the server config and connects to each MCP server in sequence
+2. Discovers tools from every connected server and builds a unified tool list
+3. Maintains a mapping from each tool name to its originating server
+4. Sends the full tool list to Claude with each request
+5. When Claude calls a tool, routes the call to the correct server
+6. Supports multi-step tool use (agentic loop) where Claude can chain multiple tool calls
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+$ npx tsx src/index.ts
+Connecting to server: everything...
+  Connected to everything with tools: echo, add, ...
+
+Total tools available: 12
+
+Multi-Server MCP Client Started!
+Type your queries or "quit" to exit.
+
+Query: What tools do you have access to?
+
+I have access to 12 tools from the "everything" server...
+
+Query: quit
+Disconnecting from everything...
+```
