SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Connects Xerxes Agent to external MCP servers to automatically discover and register their tools, eliminating manual wiring and tool registration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-discovery of MCP tools on startup across stdio and HTTP transports
  • Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff and robust fault handling
  • Security filtering to prevent credential leakage and enforce safe environment exposure
  • Zero-config tool injection into all Xerxes platform toolsets (CLI, API, etc.)

Quick Start

Configure MCP servers in ~/.xerxes/config.yaml, then restart Xerxes to automatically discover and register their tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about native-mcp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically discover and register MCP server tools in my agent?

To register MCP server tools automatically, connect your agent to external MCP servers at startup to discover their tools and expose them across all platform toolsets, eliminating manual configuration and wiring.

What transports are supported for connecting an agent to external MCP servers?

Connecting agents to external MCP servers supports stdio and HTTP transports, enabling automatic tool discovery and registration with robust fault handling and exponential backoff reconnection.

Do I need Node.js and Python packages to run an MCP server integration?

Yes, MCP server integration requires Node.js to execute MCP servers and the optional mcp Python package for support, reading server configurations from ~/.xerxes/config.yaml to enable connections.

How does security filtering work when exposing MCP tools to an agent platform?

Security filtering prevents credential leakage and enforces safe environment exposure when auto-registering external MCP tools, ensuring discovered tools injected into the agent runtime do not compromise sensitive data.

Why does my MCP server connection drop and fail to re-register tools on startup?

MCP server connections may drop due to transport faults, but the integration features automatic reconnection with exponential backoff to robustly handle failures and ensure tools are successfully registered within the agent.
