+## Quick Start
+
+<Steps>
+    <Step title="Create a client file">
+        Create a new file `calculator_client.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+        calculator_agent = Agent(
+            instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+            llm="gpt-4o-mini",
+            tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+        )
+
+        calculator_agent.start("What is 25 * 16?")
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Set Up STDIO MCP Server">
+        Create a file `calculator_server.py` with the following code:
+        ```python
+        # calculator_server.py
+        from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
+        import logging
+        import sys
+
+        # Set up logging
+        logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, filename="calculator_server.log")
+        logger = logging.getLogger("calculator-server")
+
+        # Initialize FastMCP server for simple tools
+        mcp = FastMCP("calculator-tools")
+
+        @mcp.tool()

+            return a / b
+
+        if __name__ == "__main__":
+            # Run the MCP server using STDIO transport
+            mcp.run()
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Install Dependencies">
+        Make sure you have the required packages installed:
+        ```bash
+        pip install "praisonaiagents[llm]" mcp
+        ```
+    </Step>
+    <Step title="Export API Key">
+        ```bash
+        export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
+        ```
+    </Step>
+
+    <Step title="Run the Agent">
+        Run the agent which will automatically start the calculator server:
+        ```bash
+        python calculator_client.py
+        ```
+    </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+<Note>
+  **Requirements**
+  - Python 3.10 or higher
+  - MCP package

+
+## Alternative LLM Integrations
+
+### Using Groq with STDIO
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+calculator_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+    llm="groq/llama-3.2-90b-vision-preview",
+    tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+)
+
+calculator_agent.start("What is 144 divided by 12?")
+```
+
+### Using Ollama with STDIO
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+
+calculator_agent = Agent(
+    instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+    llm="ollama/llama3.2",
+    tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+)
+
+calculator_agent.start("What is 15 + 27? Use the add tool with parameters a and b.")
+```
+
+## Gradio UI Integration
+
+Create a Gradio UI for your calculator service:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
+import gradio as gr
+
+def calculate(query):
+    calculator_agent = Agent(
+        instructions="""You are a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.""",
+        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
+        tools=MCP("python calculator_server.py")
+    )
+
+    result = calculator_agent.start(query)
+    return f"## Calculation Result\n\n{result}"
+
+demo = gr.Interface(
+    fn=calculate,
+    inputs=gr.Textbox(placeholder="What is 25 * 16?"),
+    outputs=gr.Markdown(),
+    title="Calculator MCP Agent",
+    description="Ask any arithmetic question:"
+)
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    demo.launch()
+```
