SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides engineers through adding a new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration to AnimalAL-v1 by creating a nested kernel plugin that wraps the MCP server, wiring a dedicated system message, registering the plugin in StandardKernel, and adding integration tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured integration workflow: defines the end-to-end steps from MCP server identification to plugin registration and test coverage.
  • Standardized system messaging: ensures sub-kernel communications are explicit and do not fabricate data.
  • Test-driven integration: emphasizes integration tests to validate tool exposure and behavior.

Quick Start

Follow the workflow to add a new MCP server integration:

  1. Identify the MCP server name, run command, and tool descriptors.
  2. Create a Nested[Name]Plugin (e.g. NestedFetchPlugin) and expose a main agent (e.g. FetchAgent) that interacts with the MCP server.
  3. Add a dedicated system message constant in KernelConstants and register the plugin in StandardKernel.
  4. Create integration tests that demonstrate the agent handling a prompt like "integrate MCP server" and verify tool usage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate an MCP server into a kernel using a plugin?

To integrate an MCP server into a kernel, you create a nested kernel plugin that wraps the server, wire a dedicated system message, register the plugin in the standard kernel, and add integration tests to verify tool exposure.

What is a nested kernel plugin for MCP server integration?

A nested kernel plugin for MCP server integration is a structured wrapper that exposes MCP server tools to the main kernel by defining a sub-agent, enforcing explicit system messaging, and preventing fabricated data during sub-kernel communications.

How do I expose MCP server tools to a kernel agent?

You expose MCP server tools by creating a Nested[Name]Plugin that features a main agent interacting with the server, adding a system message constant, and registering the plugin within the standard kernel configuration.

Do I need integration tests to register an MCP server plugin?

Yes, integration tests are required to register an MCP server plugin, ensuring deterministic behavior by validating that the agent correctly handles prompts and verifies tool usage during the MCP server integration.

Can I use MCP server plugins without updating kernel constants?

No, wiring an MCP server plugin requires updating kernel constants to add a dedicated system message, alongside modifying the standard kernel registration and integration test definitions to enforce communication conventions.

Why does my MCP server integration need a dedicated system message?

An MCP server integration needs a dedicated system message to ensure sub-kernel communications remain explicit and standardized, preventing the agent from fabricating data when exposing and using MCP server tools.
