Summary

Add a full Rust example to the Build an MCP client documentation page.

The Rust MCP client code was implemented manually and is already merged in modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources#59. This PR documents how to build and run that existing example step by step.

How Has This Been Tested?

I personally recreated the Rust client from a new Cargo project by following the documentation step by step, without copying the completed quickstart source file.

The following checks were completed:

  • Ran cargo fmt --check
  • Ran cargo check
  • Verified bare cargo run prints the expected usage message
  • Connected the client to the Rust weather MCP server
  • Confirmed the client discovered the get_forecast and get_alerts tools
CleanShot 2025-10-25 at 10 50 02@2x

AI Assistance Disclosure

The Rust client coding example was implemented manually. AI assistance was used only to help write and refine the documentation. I personally reviewed the documentation and performed the step-by-step verification described above to confirm that the example works.

@amikai thank you for your contribution. Can you please add the "Rust" tab not after "TypeScript" but after "Ruby" - to maintain the same language order as we have in the Server doc?

Hi @a-akimov, Thank you for noticing this detail. I’ve moved the Rust tab after Ruby to match the language order in the Server doc.
