+# MedCATtrainer Client
+
+A Python client for interacting with a MedCATTrainer web application instance. This package allows you to manage datasets, concept databases, vocabularies, model packs, users, projects, and more via Python code or the command line.
+
+## Features
+
+- Manage datasets, concept databases, vocabularies, and model packs
+- Create and manage users and projects
+- Retrieve and upload project annotations
+- Command-line interface (CLI) for automation
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+pip install mctclient
+```
+
+Or, if installing from source:
+
+```sh
+cd client

+```
+
+## Python Usage
+
+```sh
+export MCTRAINER_USERNAME=<username>
+export MCTRAINER_PASSWORD=<password>
+```
+
+```python
+from mctclient import MedCATTrainerSession, MCTDataset, MCTConceptDB, MCTVocab, MCTModelPack, MCTMetaTask, MCTRelTask, MCTUser, MCTProject
+
+# Connect to your MedCATTrainer instance
+session = MedCATTrainerSession(server="http://localhost:8001")
+
+# List all projects
+projects = session.get_projects()
+for project in projects:
+    print(project)
+
+# Create a new dataset
+dataset = session.create_dataset(name="My Dataset", dataset_file="path/to/data.csv")
+
+# Create a new user
+user = session.create_user(username="newuser", password="password123")
+
+# Create a new project
+project = session.create_project(
+    name="My Project",
+    description="A new annotation project",
+    members=[user],
+    dataset=dataset
+)
+```
+
+### MedCATTrainerSession Methods
