+# MCP Sampling Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use **MCP sampling** in an agent application. 
+It shows how to connect to an MCP server that exposes a tool that uses a sampling request to generate a response.
+
+---
+
+## What is MCP sampling?
+Sampling in MCP allows servers to implement agentic behaviors, by enabling LLM calls to occur nested inside other MCP server features.
+Following the MCP recommendations, users are prompted to approve sampling requests, as well as the output produced by the LLM for the sampling request.
+More details can be found in the [MCP documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/client/sampling).
+
+This example demonstrates sampling using [MCP agent servers](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent/blob/main/examples/mcp_agent_server/README.md).
+It is also possible to use sampling when explicitly creating an MCP client. The code for that would look like the following: 
+
+```python
+settings = ... # MCP agent configuration
+registry = ServerRegistry(settings)
+
+@mcp.tool()
+async def my_tool(input: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
+    async with gen_client("my_server", registry, upstream_session=ctx.session) as my_client:
+        result = await my_client.call_tool("some_tool", {"input": input})
+        ... # etc
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example Overview
+
+- **nested_server.py** implements a simple MCP server that uses sampling to generate a haiku about a given topic
+- **demo_server.py** implements a simple MCP server that implements an agent generating haikus using the tool exposed by `nested_server.py`
+- **main.py** shows how to:
+  1. Connect an agent to the demo MCP server, and then
+  2. Invoke the agent implemented by the demo MCP server, thereby triggering a sampling request.

+
+## 1. Setup
+
+Clone the repo and navigate to this example:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent.git
+cd mcp-agent/examples/mcp/mcp_sampling
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Run the Agent Example
+
+Run the agent script which should auto install all necessary dependencies:
+
+```bash
+uv run main.py
+```
+
+You should see logs showing:
+
+- The agent connecting to the demo server, and calling the tool
+- A request to approve the sampling request; type `approve` to approve (anything else will deny the request)
+- A request to approve the result of the sampling request
+- The final result of the tool call
+

+
+This example is a minimal, practical demonstration of how to use **MCP sampling** as first-class context for agent applications.
