[Python] MCPToolConversionError: Failed to get tools from MCP server: 404

I am using python_a2a version 0.5.9, I am trying to use to_langchain_tool from python_a2a.langchain package but I am getting following error while trying to convert a MCP Server to langchain tool

Error:

MCPToolConversionError Traceback (most recent call last)
File ~/Documents/project/venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/python_a2a/langchain/mcp.py:492, in to_langchain_tool(mcp_url, tool_name)
491 if tools_response.status_code != 200:
--> 492 raise MCPToolConversionError(f"Failed to get tools from MCP server: {tools_response.status_code}")
494 available_tools = tools_response.json()

MCPToolConversionError: Failed to get tools from MCP server: 404

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

MCPToolConversionError Traceback (most recent call last)

501 if tool_name is not None:

MCPToolConversionError: Failed to get tools from MCP server: Failed to get tools from MCP server: 404



which basically means that it's unable to find the MCP Server path

Following is my code for MCP Server:

add_mcp.py

from fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("Demo", stateless_http=True)

@mcp.tool
def add(a: int, b:int) -> int:
print(a + b)
return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
mcp.run()



I am able to use fastmcp.client to call the MCP Server, here is the code for that

from fastmcp.client import Client

client = Client("http://localhost:8080/mcp")

async with client:
tools = await client.list_tools()
print(tools)
result = await client.call_tool("add", arguments={"a": 10, "b": 20})
print(result.content)


Am I making any mistake while using the python_a2a package for converting MCP Server to langchain tools ?

Following are the version details:

fastmcp==2.10.5
langchain==0.3.26
langchain-anthropic==0.3.17
langchain-core==0.3.69
langchain-mcp-adapters==0.1.9
langchain-ollama==0.3.5
langchain-tavily==0.2.10
