Setup by client

Claude Desktop
  1. Install: `pip install mcp-agent`
  2. Write an agent that loads MCP servers through the framework, then run it from your terminal
  3. It is a Python framework — integrate it into your own app rather than configuring it as a stdio server

Known issues & workarounds

⚠︎ Not a drop-in server

mcp-agent is for building agents, not for exposing tools. Use it together with server frameworks for a full stack.
