Core Concepts

MCP Servers

MCP (Model Context Protocol) Servers enable your agents to connect to external systems and services through a standardized protocol. Unlike custom Actions, MCP Servers provide a plug-and-play architecture for common tools and services.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are standardized connectors that allow your AI agents to interact with external tools, databases, APIs, and services. They follow the Model Context Protocol specification, ensuring consistent behavior across different integrations.

Think of MCP Servers as pre-built, battle-tested integrations that you can instantly enable for your agents without writing custom API code.

🔧 Built-in Tools

File systems, databases, web scrapers, and development tools.

🔌 Plug & Play

No custom API development required. Enable and configure instantly.

📋 Standardized

Consistent interface across all MCP integrations and tools.

🔒 Secure

Built-in security controls and credential management.

MCP Servers in Meebly Dashboard

MCP Server Configuration

MCP Servers are configured in the Meebly dashboard through an intuitive interface. Each server type has its own configuration requirements:

Available MCP Servers

Wikipedia - Search and retrieve articles from Wikipedia for research and knowledge
Slack - Send messages, read channels, and manage Slack workspace interactions
GitHub - Access GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and manage code collaboration workflows
Google Maps - Access location data, directions, and places using Google Maps API
Brave Search - Perform web searches and retrieve results using Brave Search API

Configuration Steps

  1. Navigate to your environment in the Meebly dashboard
  2. Go to the "MCP Servers" section
  3. Click "Add MCP Server" and select the server type
  4. Configure the required settings (credentials, tokens, etc.)
    For custom MCP servers: Use the "Custom MCP Server" option and provide:
    • Server command (e.g., npx)
    • Server arguments such as server name and any other relevant parameters
    • Required environment variables
  5. Enable the server for your agents

How Agents Use MCP Servers

When you enable MCP Servers for an agent, the server's capabilities automatically become available as tools the agent can use. The agent intelligently selects the right MCP tools based on the conversation context and user requests.

Example: Research Assistant Agent

User:"What is the latest information about artificial intelligence breakthroughs?"
Agent:Uses Wikipedia and Brave Search MCP Servers to:
  • • Search Wikipedia for comprehensive AI overview
  • • Use Brave Search for recent news and developments
  • • Synthesize information into a coherent response
