+### Sampling
+
+MCP servers can request LLM completions from connected clients that support sampling.

+```typescript
+import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
+import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const mcpServer = new McpServer({
+  name: "tools-with-sample-server",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+});
+
+// Tool that uses LLM sampling to summarize any text
+mcpServer.registerTool(
+  "summarize",
+  {
+    description: "Summarize any text using an LLM",
+    inputSchema: {
+      text: z.string().describe("Text to summarize"),
+    },
+  },
+  async ({ text }) => {
+    // Call the LLM through MCP sampling

 ## Running Your Server
 
 MCP servers in TypeScript need to be connected to a transport to communicate with clients. How you start the server depends on the choice of transport:
