Your Question

The quickstart https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/client calls list_tools() on every turn. Claude desktop does not behave that way. Should we simplify the sample to just call it once when it starts (and to handle notifications/tools/list_changed as an exercise)

[jspahrsummers]

Yup, makes sense! Created modelcontextprotocol/docs#139 to track this.
