RAGFlow MCP client example

We provide a prototype MCP client example for testing here.

:::danger IMPORTANT If your MCP server is running in host mode, include your acquired API key in your client’s headers as shown below:

async with sse_client("http://localhost:9382/sse", headers={"api_key": "YOUR_KEY_HERE"}) as streams:
    # Rest of your code...

Or follow the requirements of OAuth 2.1 Section 5 by providing an Authorization request headers field:

async with sse_client("http://localhost:9382/sse", headers={"Authorization": "YOUR_KEY_HERE"}) as streams:
    # Rest of your code...
