+# HTTP Sampling Client Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to create an MCP client using HTTP transport that supports sampling requests from the server.
+
+## Overview
+
+This client:
+- Connects to an MCP server via HTTP/HTTPS transport
+- Declares sampling capability during initialization
+- Handles incoming sampling requests from the server
+- Uses a mock LLM to generate responses (replace with real LLM integration)
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Start an MCP server that supports sampling (e.g., using the `sampling_server` example)
+
+2. Update the server URL in `main.go`:
+   ```go
+   httpClient, err := client.NewStreamableHttpClient(
+       "http://your-server:port", // Replace with your server URL
+   )
+   ```
+
+3. Run the client:
+   ```bash
+   go run main.go
+   ```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### HTTP Transport with Sampling
+The client creates the HTTP transport directly and then wraps it with a client that supports sampling:
+
+```go
+httpTransport, err := transport.NewStreamableHTTP("http://localhost:8080")
+mcpClient := client.NewClient(httpTransport, client.WithSamplingHandler(samplingHandler))
+```
+
+### Sampling Handler
+The `MockSamplingHandler` implements the `client.SamplingHandler` interface:
+
+```go
+type MockSamplingHandler struct{}
+
+func (h *MockSamplingHandler) CreateMessage(ctx context.Context, request mcp.CreateMessageRequest) (*mcp.CreateMessageResult, error) {
+    // Process the sampling request and return LLM response
+    // In production, integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLM APIs
+}
+```
+
+### Client Configuration
+The client is configured with sampling capabilities:
+
+```go
+mcpClient := client.NewClient(
+    httpTransport,
+    client.WithSamplingHandler(samplingHandler),
+)
+// Sampling capability is automatically declared when a handler is provided
+```
+
+## Real Implementation
+
+For a production implementation, replace the `MockSamplingHandler` with a real LLM client:
+
+```go
+type RealSamplingHandler struct {
+    client *openai.Client // or other LLM client
+}
+
+func (h *RealSamplingHandler) CreateMessage(ctx context.Context, request mcp.CreateMessageRequest) (*mcp.CreateMessageResult, error) {
+    // Convert MCP request to LLM API format
+    // Call LLM API
+    // Convert response back to MCP format
+    // Return the result
+}
+```
+
+## HTTP-Specific Features
+
+The HTTP transport supports:
+- Standard HTTP headers for authentication and customization
+- OAuth 2.0 authentication (using `WithHTTPOAuth`)
+- Custom headers (using `WithHTTPHeaders`)
+- Server-side events (SSE) for bidirectional communication
+- Proper error handling with HTTP status codes
+- Session management via HTTP headers
+
+## Testing
+
+The implementation includes comprehensive tests in `client/transport/streamable_http_sampling_test.go` that verify:
+- Sampling request handling
+- Error scenarios
+- Bidirectional interface compliance
+- HTTP-specific error codes and responses

+# HTTP Sampling Server Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to create an MCP server using HTTP transport that can send sampling requests to clients.
+
+## Overview
+
+This server:
+- Runs on HTTP transport (port 8080 by default)
+- Declares sampling capability during initialization  
+- Can send sampling requests to connected clients via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
+- Receives sampling responses from clients via HTTP POST
+- Includes tools that demonstrate sampling functionality
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Start the server:
+   ```bash
+   go run main.go
+   ```
+
+2. The server will be available at: `http://localhost:8080/mcp`
+
+3. Connect with an HTTP client that supports sampling (like the `sampling_http_client` example)
+
+## Tools Available
+
+### `ask_llm`
+Demonstrates server-initiated sampling:
+- Takes a question and optional system prompt
+- Sends sampling request to client
+- Returns the LLM's response
+
+### `echo` 
+Simple tool for testing basic functionality:
+- Echoes back the input message
+- Doesn't require sampling
+
+## How Sampling Works
+
+### Server → Client Flow
+1. **Tool Invocation**: Client calls `ask_llm` tool
+2. **Sampling Request**: Server creates sampling request with user's question
+3. **SSE Transmission**: Server sends JSON-RPC request to client via SSE stream
+4. **Client Processing**: Client's sampling handler processes the request
+5. **HTTP Response**: Client sends JSON-RPC response back via HTTP POST
+6. **Tool Response**: Server returns the LLM response to the original tool caller
+
+### Communication Architecture
+```
+Client (HTTP + SSE) ←→ Server (HTTP)
+     │                       │
+     ├─ POST: Tool Call ──→  │
+     │                       │
+     │  ←── SSE: Sampling ───┤ 
+     │      Request          │
+     │                       │
+     ├─ POST: Sampling ───→  │
+     │      Response         │
+     │                       │
+     │  ←── HTTP: Tool ──────┤
+           Response
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Bidirectional Communication
+- **SSE Stream**: Server → Client requests (sampling, notifications)
+- **HTTP POST**: Client → Server responses and requests
+
+### Session Management
+- Session ID tracking for request/response correlation
+- Proper session lifecycle management
+- Session validation for security
+
+### Error Handling
+- JSON-RPC error codes for different failure scenarios
+- Timeout handling for sampling requests
+- Queue overflow protection
+
+### HTTP-Specific Features
+- Standard MCP headers (`Mcp-Session-Id`, `Mcp-Protocol-Version`)
+- Content-Type validation
+- Proper HTTP status codes
+- SSE event formatting
+
+## Testing
+
+You can test the server using the `sampling_http_client` example:
+
+1. Start this server:
+   ```bash
+   go run examples/sampling_http_server/main.go
+   ```
+
+2. In another terminal, start the client:
+   ```bash
+   go run examples/sampling_http_client/main.go
+   ```
+
+3. The client will connect and be ready to handle sampling requests from the server.
+
+## Production Considerations
+
+### Security
+- Implement proper authentication/authorization
+- Use HTTPS in production
+- Validate all incoming data
+- Implement rate limiting
+
+### Scalability
+- Consider connection pooling for multiple clients
+- Implement proper session cleanup
+- Monitor memory usage for long-running sessions
+- Add metrics and monitoring
+
+### Reliability
+- Implement request retries
+- Add circuit breakers for failing clients
+- Implement graceful degradation when sampling is unavailable
+- Add comprehensive logging
+
+## Integration
+
+This server can be integrated into existing HTTP infrastructure:
+
+```go
+// Custom HTTP server integration
+mux := http.NewServeMux()
+mux.Handle("/mcp", httpServer)
+mux.Handle("/health", healthHandler)
+
+server := &http.Server{
+    Addr:    ":8080",
+    Handler: mux,
+}
+```
+
+The sampling functionality works seamlessly with other MCP features like tools, resources, and prompts.
