+# MCP Filesystem Example
+
+This example uses the [fileystem MCP server](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem), running locally via `npx`.
+
+Run it via:
+
+```
+uv run python  python examples/mcp/filesystem_example/main.py
+```
+
+## Details
+
+The example uses the `MCPServerStdio` class from `agents`, with the command:
+
+```bash
+npx -y "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem" <samples_directory>
+```
+
+It's only given access to the `sample_files` directory adjacent to the example, which contains some sample data.
+
+Under the hood:
+
+1. The server is spun up in a subprocess, and exposes a bunch of tools like `list_directory()`, `read_file()`, etc.
+2. We add the server instance to the Agent via `mcp_agents`.
+3. Each time the agent runs, we call out to the MCP server to fetch the list of tools via `server.list_tools()`.
+4. If the LLM chooses to use an MCP tool, we call the MCP server to run the tool via `server.run_tool()`.
