    params={
        "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse",
    },
)
await server.connect()  # Initialize the server connection

# Initialize the Agent with Prokerala tools
agent = Agent(
    name="Prokerala Assistant",
    instructions="""You are a vedic astrologer. Use Prokerala API tools to answer astrology questions. 
    Ask for place details to determine latitude/longitude. Use district/state if exact location is unknown.
