MCP Tools

Scenario

You want your agent to interact with external services — query a database, create Figma designs, manage GitHub issues, or access company APIs. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you plug in any compatible tool server without modifying the agent’s core.

Materials

  • An MCP server URL or a locally installed MCP server (many are available as npm packages)
  • The server’s connection details (URL, authentication token if required)

Steps

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Settings → MCP Servers in the WebUI. You’ll see a list of connected servers and an Add Server button.
2

Add a Server

Click Add Server and fill in:
  • Name: A friendly label (e.g., “GitHub”)
  • Type: SSE (remote) or Stdio (local process)
  • URL or Command: The server endpoint or launch command
Click Save. Myrm connects to the server and discovers available tools.
3

Verify Connection

After saving, the server status shows Connected with a list of discovered tools. Click any tool to see its description and parameters.
4

Use in Conversation

Start a new chat and ask the agent to use the tool:
“List my open GitHub issues from the myrm-agent repo”
The agent selects the appropriate MCP tool, calls it, and presents the results.
Per-agent binding: You can bind specific MCP servers to specific agents. A “Database Expert” agent might have access to your PostgreSQL MCP server, while a “Content Creator” agent connects to Figma. Configure this in Agent Settings → MCP Servers.

Deliverable

A connected MCP server whose tools are available to your agent in any conversation.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Server shows Connected status in Settings
  • Tools are listed with correct descriptions
  • Agent can successfully call the tool and return results
  • Tool usage appears in the conversation with proper formatting
