from xai_sdk import Client
from xai_sdk.chat import user
from xai_sdk.tools import mcp

client = Client()
chat = client.chat.create(
    model="grok-4",
    tools=[mcp(server_url="https://mcp.tradingdata.io", server_label="tradingdata",
               authorization="Bearer td_your_api_key")],
)
chat.append(user("Which S&P 500 sectors are the commodities rally helping?"))
