Delegate the summary with sampling
Your server's summarize tool needs a language model to condense some text — but you don't want the server holding an API key. With sampling, the server asks the connected client to run the prompt instead, and the client returns the generated text. You also want the summary kept to a single sentence, so you'll steer the model with a system prompt.
FastMCP, Context, SamplingMessage, and TextContent are imported and the server mcp is created. run_tool(text_to_summarize) runs your tool through a real MCP client–server session; the connected client fulfills each sampling request by calling a real language model and returning its reply.

- Call
ctx.session.create_message()to ask the client to run the prompt. - Steer the model by passing a
system_promptthat tells it to reply with a single-sentence summary. - Return the generated text from the result with
result.content.text.
