# RAGFlow MCP client example

We provide a *prototype* MCP client example for testing [here](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/mcp/client/client.py).

:::danger IMPORTANT
If your MCP server is running in host mode, include your acquired API key in your client's `headers` as shown below:
```python
async with sse_client("http://localhost:9382/sse", headers={"api_key": "YOUR_KEY_HERE"}) as streams:
    # Rest of your code...
```
