Description
This PR introduces a new tools() async context manager method to MultiServerMCPClient, providing persistent session support when working with MCP tools. The implementation:
Adds @asynccontextmanager tools() method that maintains active connections
Supports both single-server and all-servers tool loading patterns
Includes comprehensive documentation with usage examples
Maintains backward compatibility with existing get_tools()
Motivation
Currently, get_tools() creates a new session for each invocation, which can be inefficient for stateful tool usage. The new context manager approach:
Keeps connections alive during tool operations
Enables better resource management
Provides more intuitive session lifecycle control
Matches patterns used elsewhere in the codebase
Usage Examples
Related Issues
Closes #207 (if applicable)
