Client Test

from fastmcp import Client
import asyncio

async def test():
    client = Client("http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp")
    async with client:
        # List tools
        tools = await client.list_tools()
        print(tools)
        
        # Search for a company
        result = await client.call_tool("search_company", {
            "siret": "44302124100072"
        })
        print(result)

asyncio.run(test())
