AI Agents for MCP

Learn about creating an MCP server with MindStudio.

What is an MCP Server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets you expose one or more of your MindStudio agents as tools that external applications or LLMs can invoke. In practice, an MCP server:

• Enables agents to work with external tools and data sources without having to rebuild or redeploy them each time.

• Serves as a centralized endpoint that routes requests to any published agent you’ve added.

1. Configure Your Agent as a Packaged Workflow

   • Open the editor of agent you want to expose and select the Start block.

   • Change the trigger type to Packaged Workflow.

2. Fill in Workflow Metadata

1. Save and Publish

   • Click Save to persist your changes.

   • Click Publish so the workflow is available in the workspace.

2. Copy Your Agent’s ID

   • After publishing, the agent’s general settings will show its Agent ID.

   • Click the copy icon next to that ID

3. Create the MCP Server

   • Navigate back to your main MindStudio workspace.

   • Select MCP Server from the Workspace settings dropdown.

   • Paste in your copied Agent ID in the space provided.
