const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
