 # Spring AI - Model Context Protocol (MCP) Brave Search Example
 
-This example demonstrates how to use the Spring AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) with the [Brave Search MCP Server](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/brave-search). The application enables natural language interactions with Brave Search, allowing you to perform internet searches through a conversational interface.
+This example demonstrates how to create a Spring AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) client that communicates with the [Brave Search MCP Server](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/brave-search). The application shows how to build an MCP client that enables natural language interactions with Brave Search, allowing you to perform internet searches through a conversational interface. Instead of using Spring Boot autoconfiguration, this example demonstrates how to manually configure the MCP client transport using an `@Bean` definition.
+
+When run, the application demonstrates the MCP client's capabilities by asking a specific question: "Does Spring AI supports the Model Context Protocol? Please provide some references." The MCP client uses Brave Search to find relevant information and returns a comprehensive answer. After providing the response, the application exits.
