MCP Plugin for ElizaOS: Seamless Connect & Advanced Capabilities

MCP Plugin for ElizaOS

This plugin integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with ElizaOS, allowing agents to connect to multiple MCP servers and use their resources, prompts, and tools.

🔍 What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. It provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.

This plugin allows your ElizaOS agents to access multiple MCP servers simultaneously, each providing different capabilities:

• Resources : Context and data for the agent to reference
• Prompts : Templated messages and workflows
• Tools : Functions for the agent to execute

📦 Installation

Install the plugin in your ElizaOS project:

• npm

  npm install @fleek-platform/eliza-plugin-mcp

• pnpm

  pnpm install @fleek-platform/eliza-plugin-mcp

• yarn

  yarn add @fleek-platform/eliza-plugin-mcp

• bun

  bun add @fleek-platform/eliza-plugin-mcp

🚀 Usage

1. Add the plugin to your character configuration:

{
  "name": "Your Character",
  "plugins": ["@fleek-platform/eliza-plugin-mcp"],
  "settings": {
    "mcp": {
      "servers": {
        "github": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "name": "Code Server",
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

⚙️ Configuration Options

MCP supports two types of servers: "stdio" and "sse". Each type has its own configuration options.

Common Options

stdio Server Options

sse Server Options

🛠️ Using MCP Capabilities

Once configured, the plugin automatically exposes MCP servers' capabilities to your agent:

Context Providers

The plugin includes three providers that add MCP capabilities to the agent's context:

1. MCP_SERVERS: Lists available servers and their tools, resources and prompts

🔄 Plugin Flow

The following diagram illustrates the MCP plugin's flow for tool selection and execution:

    %% Starting point - User request
    start[User Request] --> action[CALL_TOOL Action]

    %% MCP Server Validation
    action --> check{MCP Servers Available?}
    check -->|No| fail[Return No Tools Available]
    
    %% Tool Selection Flow

    %% Second Model Use - Retry Selection

📋 Example: Setting Up Multiple MCP Servers

Here's a complete example configuration with multiple MCP servers of both types:

{
  "name": "Developer Assistant",
  "plugins": ["@elizaos/plugin-mcp", "other-plugins"],
  "settings": {
    "mcp": {
      "servers": {
        "github": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
          "env": {
            "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
          }
        },
        "puppeteer": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer"]
        },
        "google-maps": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps"],
          "env": {
            "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
          }
        }
      },
      "maxRetries": 2
    }
  }
}

🔒 Security Considerations

Please be aware that MCP servers can execute arbitrary code, so only connect to servers you trust.

🔍 Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the MCP plugin:

1. Check that your MCP servers are correctly configured and running
2. Ensure the commands are accessible in the ElizaOS environment
3. Review the logs for connection errors
4. Verify that the plugin is properly loaded in your character configuration
