SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The native MCP client enables A9N Agent to automatically discover and use tools from external MCP servers, eliminating manual bridge setups and expanding the agent’s capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic discovery of MCP server tools at startup.
  • Support for stdio and HTTP transports with configurable timeouts.
  • Secure environment handling to prevent credential leakage.
  • Persistent connections with auto-reconnection and tool injection across all platform integrations. Use case example: configure a time server or a GitHub integration via ~/.a9n/config.yaml and the agent can call mcp_github_list_issues just like any built‑in tool.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to list the MCP tools after adding a server configuration to your ~/.a9n/config.yaml.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect an agent to external MCP servers for tool discovery?

To connect an agent to external MCP servers for tool discovery, configure the server endpoints in your `~/.a9n/config.yaml` file. The native MCP client then automatically discovers and registers the remote tools at startup for immediate use.

Can I use both stdio and HTTP transports to integrate MCP tools?

Yes, you can use both stdio and HTTP transports to integrate MCP tools. The client supports configurable timeouts for both transport protocols, ensuring flexible connectivity for various remote capabilities like filesystem access or custom APIs.

How does the agent handle MCP server connection drops and auto-reconnection?

The agent handles MCP server connection drops through persistent connections with automatic reconnection. If a connection fails, the client automatically re-establishes the link and re-injects the tools across all platform integrations without manual intervention.

Is environment variable filtering secure when connecting to remote MCP servers?

Environment variable filtering is secure when connecting to remote MCP servers. The client implements secure environment handling specifically to prevent credential leakage during agent operations and external API interactions.

What is the best way to call GitHub operations from an agent without manual bridge setups?

The best way to call GitHub operations from an agent without manual bridge setups is using the native MCP client. By configuring a GitHub MCP server in your config file, the agent can execute commands like `mcp_github_list_issues` as built-in tools.

Do I need to manually register external APIs for agent integration?

No, you do not need to manually register external APIs for agent integration. The client automatically discovers and registers tools from configured MCP servers at startup, eliminating the need for manual bridge setups and expanding agent capabilities instantly.
