How can I connect to an MCP agent locally using Python with a custom client (not Claude or Cursor)?

Hi Atlassian Community,

I’m experimenting with the new MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for Atlassian products

My question:
👉 Are there any examples of sending and receiving MCP events in Python so I can integrate them with another LLM (e.g., Gemini or OpenAI) instead of Claude or Cursor?

Thanks in advance!
