🚀 Build a LangChain Client with Gemini & MCP Tools (Python)

Welcome to another tutorial from The AI Language! In this video, we dive deep into how to build a modern LangChain-powered client that connects to an MCP server and uses Google Gemini to intelligently invoke external tools.

If you're learning about AI agents, tool calling, or just want to connect language models to your custom Python/Node tools, this one's for you!

---

✨ What You’ll Learn:
How to set up a LangChain client using Python
How to connect it to an MCP server (Python or Node.js)
How Gemini AI can call external tools through natural language
A full walkthrough of `langchain_mcp_client.py`
Tips for configuring retries, temperature, and API keys

---

🛠 Prerequisites:
Python 3.10+
[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) as your Python package manager
A valid Google Gemini API key

---

📦 Project Setup:
```bash
uv init mcp_client
cd mcp_client
uv add mcp python-dotenv google-genai langchain langgraph
```

Set your `.env` file with:
```
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here
```

---

🧠 Why This Matters:
LangChain makes it easy to connect LLMs with real-world actions. Google Gemini gives us strong reasoning and tool-use capabilities for free (with generous quotas!). MCP lets you expose Python or Node.js tools over a simple interface. Combine the three, and you've got an intelligent, tool-using agent that works locally!

---

🧪 Example Queries:
"Create a file called `hello.txt`"
"Run a shell command to list files"
"What is (3 + 5) * 12?"
