mcp.connect_http¶

mcp.connect_http(spec) -> McpClient

Connect to an MCP server over streamable HTTP. Raises on a connect failure or the handshake failing.

Parameters

• spec: {url: string, headers: {[string]: string}?, max_retries: number?}
  • url — The server endpoint URL.
  • headers — Extra HTTP headers sent with every request (e.g. an Authorization header).
  • max_retries — How many times to retry a dropped event stream before giving up. Absent leaves rmcp's default of retrying indefinitely; set a bound so a server that stays down eventually surfaces a failure rather than reconnecting forever.

Returns

• McpClient
