Description

Update the client basics, overview, and transport guides to match the current public constructors, including the stdio environment argument, pointer client type, and constructor error handling.

Fixes #1195.

Type of Change

  • Documentation update

Checklist

  • My code follows the code style of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have added tests (documentation-only correction; no runtime functionality changed)
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly

Validation

  • Compared the examples with the current declarations in client/stdio.go, client/http.go, client/sse.go, and client/inprocess.go.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • No tests were run because this is a documentation-only correction.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated client examples across supported transports to reflect current client setup and error handling.
    • Improved examples for client pooling, session initialization, resource and tool operations, and multi-server configuration.

Walkthrough

Client documentation examples now use pointer-based client values and handle constructor errors. Transport examples also update client-pool error handling and cleanup, and the in-process transport example returns initialization results instead of waiting indefinitely.

Changes

Client guide updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client constructor examples
www/docs/pages/clients/basics.mdx, www/docs/pages/clients/index.mdx
Examples use current constructors, capture constructor errors, and update the client manager and application examples to use pointer clients.
Client pointer usage
www/docs/pages/clients/basics.mdx, www/docs/pages/clients/index.mdx, www/docs/pages/clients/operations.mdx, www/docs/pages/transports/inprocess.mdx
Helper signatures, stored client fields, and operation examples use *client.Client.
Transport construction and pooling
www/docs/pages/clients/transports.mdx, www/docs/pages/transports/index.mdx
Transport examples handle creation errors. Pool construction closes clients already created when pre-population fails; Get and CallTool propagate errors. The in-process branch returns construction and initialization errors, defers client closure, and no longer waits indefinitely.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Other · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: ezynda3

Merge Risk: Low · up to 169db

The documentation changes leave two examples with new compile errors and make the iterator guidance contradictory. Correct these localized examples; no production library behavior changes, so merge risk is bounded.

Explanation

The title "docs(client): fix examples for current constructors" matches the main change. The PR updates client guide examples (basics, overview, transports, operations, and in-process transport pages) to use the current constructors, the pointer client type, and constructor error handling. It uses a conventional commit style and is concise, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It includes a concise description of the changes and links issue #1195. It marks the Documentation update type and completes the checklist items that apply. It also gives validation details: comparison with the current declarations in client/stdio.go, client/http.go, client/sse.go, and client/inprocess.go, a passing git diff --check, and a note that no tests ran because the change is documentation-only. The MCP Spec Compliance section is not applicable and was correctly omitted or left out. The unchecked tests box is explained in the description.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #1195 asks that client guide examples match current constructors and handle creation errors. Source at head confirms the constructor shapes: NewStdioMCPClient(command string, env []string, args ...string) (*Client, error) in client/stdio.go; NewInProcessClient(server *server.MCPServer) (*Client, error) in client/inprocess.go. The previous review also confirmed NewStreamableHttpClient and NewSSEMCPClient return (*Client, error). The diff of www/docs/pages/clients/transports.mdx was read directly. It shows: StreamableHTTP examples capture (c, err) and check err; the in-process example captures (c, err); TestClient.client changes from *client.InProcessClient to *client.Client; NewTestClient returns (*TestClient, error); the pool factory, NewStreamableHTTPClientPool, and Get return errors; CallTool propagates Get errors; ClientFactory.CreateClient returns (*client.Client, error); and the session example uses a concrete session ID in place of a non-compilable placeholder. The summaries for basics.mdx, index.mdx, operations.mdx, transports/index.mdx, and inprocess.mdx report the same pattern for the remaining requirements: env slice in the stdio examples, *client.Client in place of client.Client value types, removal of client.InProcessClient, and the stdio branch of NewManagedClient calling the stdio constructor. Residual uncertainty: the MDX bodies of the summarized files were not read directly. Helper functions such as createStreamableHTTPClient() and createSSEClient() in basics.mdx keep no error return, and the summaries do not state how their constructor errors are handled. The base version of transports.mdx may contain an unchanged stdio example. The diff does not touch any such example, and the summaries do not mention one. These points are not confirmed, but the bulk of the stated requirements is supported by direct or summarized evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files are documentation pages under www/docs/pages/clients/ and www/docs/pages/transports/. The PR states the change is documentation-only. The transports.mdx diff, read directly, changes only constructor call sites, error handling, pointer types, and the signatures of example helpers and pool types. Those changes implement the bullets in #1195. The sessionID edit replaces a non-compilable placeholder in the constructor example with a concrete value. This supports the copy-ready goal of #1195. The changes in operations.mdx, which replace client.Client with *client.Client in example signatures, match the #1195 bullet about client.Client used as a value type. The transports/index.mdx inprocess branch changes (constructor error handling, closing the client, and returning Initialize(context.Background())) are edits to the same transport example. They are not separate unrelated behavior. No change was found that lacks a connection to #1195. Changes described only in summaries were not read directly.

Use a defined URL in the SSE example.

If a reader copies this function without defining testServer, the application fails to compile. Use an example URL that the reader can replace with the server address.

Use address as the STDIO command.

When a caller passes a server executable as address, this branch ignores it and attempts to start server-command. Pass address to the constructor.

Pass address to the STDIO constructor.

Start the client before initialization.

After correcting the Initialize signature, AddServer still cannot add an SSE server: the transport returns transport not started yet. Call c.Start(ctx) and handle its error before calling Initialize.

Handle both results in the test example.

NewTestClient now returns two values, but tc := NewTestClient() assigns only one, so the example does not compile. Assign tc, err, check the error with require.NoError, and change the later initialization to err = tc.Initialize(ctx).

Review comments at @www/docs/pages/clients/operations.mdx:
- Line 603: Update the prompt-processing example around NewPromptProcessor to
construct text content with mcp.NewTextContent(userMessage) instead of
converting userMessage to the mcp.TextContent struct; preserve the surrounding
message flow.
- Around line 704-706: Rewrite both subscription examples to use the supported
client API: remove the invalid concrete-client assertion and references to the
nonexistent client.Subscriber interface, and use OnNotification with Listen or
ListenAsync for modern connections. Preserve each example’s intended
subscription behavior.
- Line 131: Update demonstrateResourceReading and the typed resource helpers to
inspect ReadResourceResult.Contents through concrete types instead of accessing
fields on interface values: use a type switch for mcp.TextResourceContents and
mcp.BlobResourceContents in the basic example, and check the expected concrete
type in each helper.
- Line 118: The resource, tool, and prompt helper signatures use parameter types
that do not exist. Update readResource, the tool helper, and the prompt helper
to use mcp.ReadResourceParams, mcp.CallToolParams, and mcp.GetPromptParams
respectively, and change prompt argument maps and their callers to
map[string]string.
- Line 494: Update demonstrateBatchToolCalls to check result.Result.IsError
before reporting success; when it is true, report the result content as a tool
error, while preserving handling for Go errors.
- Line 981: Update the iterator guidance near the MCPClient example to describe
using *client.Client directly, since its iterator methods can be called without
a type assertion; reserve type assertions for values held as interfaces.
- Line 325: Update demonstrateToolCalling and the affected prompt examples to
inspect mcp.Content through type assertions or a type switch before reading text
fields, and handle non-text content explicitly. Apply the same correction in
PromptProcessor.FormatForLLM so none of these paths accesses fields absent from
mcp.Content.

Review comments at @www/docs/pages/transports/index.mdx:
- Line 163: Update the in-process initialization flow in startServer so it
starts the client before calling Initialize, passes an mcp.InitializeRequest,
and returns only the initialization error to match startServer’s single-error
return signature.

Review comments at @www/docs/pages/transports/inprocess.mdx:
- Line 139: The embedded example uses unsupported tool capability fields. Update
the client capability literal in the example near mcpClient to use an empty
mcp.ClientCapabilities value, and leave server tool-support advertisement
unchanged.
- Line 139: The in-process example does not register the calculator tool, so
ProcessWithMCP cannot find it. Register the calculate tool and its handler on
app.mcpServer before invoking ProcessWithMCP, preserving the example’s expected
result of 15.

Use the declared request parameter types.

The resource, tool, and prompt helpers use nonexistent types, so they fail to compile. Use mcp.ReadResourceParams, mcp.CallToolParams, and mcp.GetPromptParams. Also change the prompt argument maps and their callers to map[string]string.

Use concrete resource content types in the examples.

ReadResourceResult.Contents contains interface values, so direct field access does not compile. Use a type switch for mcp.TextResourceContents and mcp.BlobResourceContents in the basic example, and check the concrete type in each typed helper.

Rewrite the subscription examples to use the client API.

Both examples assert on a concrete *client.Client, which cannot be a type assertion operand. They also use the nonexistent client.Subscriber API. Use OnNotification and, for modern connections, Listen or ListenAsync instead.

Rewrite both subscription examples to use the supported client API: remove the

Correct the iterator type comparison.

The other examples also use *client.Client. A pointer can call the iterator methods directly; applying the following type assertion to it does not compile. Reserve the assertion for interface values.

Update the iterator guidance near the MCPClient example to describe using

assertion; reserve type assertions for values held as interfaces.

Fix the in-process initialization call.

The example does not compile: Initialize requires an mcp.InitializeRequest and returns two values, but startServer returns one error. Start the client before initialization, pass a request, and return only the initialization error.

Update the in-process initialization flow in startServer so it starts the client

initialization error to match startServer’s single-error return signature.

Remove the unsupported client tool capability.

The embedded example does not compile because mcp.ClientCapabilities has no Tools field and mcp.ToolsCapability is not defined. Replace the capability literal with mcp.ClientCapabilities{}. The server advertises tool support separately.

Register the calculator on the embedded server.

After the initialization example is corrected, ProcessWithMCP fails with a tool-not-found error instead of calculating 15. Register calculate and its handler on app.mcpServer.

The in-process example does not register the calculator tool, so ProcessWithMCP
cannot find it. Register the calculate tool and its handler on app.mcpServer
before invoking ProcessWithMCP, preserving the example’s expected result of 15.
