tech stack 🛠️

• python: core programming language
• mcp framework: communication protocol
• docker: containerization

🤔 what is mcp?

the model context protocol (mcp) is a cutting-edge standard for context sharing and management across ai models and systems. think of it as the language ai agents use to interact seamlessly. 🧠✨

here’s why mcp matters:

• 🧩 standardization: mcp defines how context can be shared across models, enabling interoperability.
• ⚡ scalability: it’s built to handle large-scale ai systems with high throughput.
• 🔒 security: robust authentication and fine-grained access control.
• 🌐 flexibility: works across diverse systems and ai architectures.

twitter integration 🐦

mcpagentai offers robust twitter integration, allowing you to automate tweeting, replying, and managing twitter interactions. this section provides detailed instructions on configuring and using the twitter integration, both via docker and .env + scripts/run_agent.sh.

docker environment variables for twitter integration

when running mcpagentai within docker, it's essential to configure environment variables for twitter integration. these variables are divided into two categories:

1. agent node client credentials

these credentials are used by the node.js client within the agent for managing twitter interactions.

env twitter_username=
env twitter_password=
env twitter_email=

2. tweepy (twitter api v2) credentials

these credentials are utilized by tweepy for interacting with twitter's api v2.

env twitter_api_key=
env twitter_api_secret=
env twitter_access_token=
env twitter_access_secret=
env twitter_client_id=
env twitter_client_secret=
env twitter_bearer_token=

running mcpagentai with docker

1. build the docker image:

   docker build -t mcpagentai .
   

2. run the container:

   docker run -i --rm mcpagentai
   

running mcpagentai with .env + scripts/run_agent.sh

setting up environment variables

create a .env file in the root directory of your project and add the following environment variables:

anthropic_api_key=your_anthropic_api_key
eliza_path=/path/to/eliza
twitter_username=your_twitter_username
twitter_email=your_twitter_email
twitter_password=your_twitter_password
personality_config=/path/to/personality_config.json
run_agent=true

# tweepy (twitter api v2) credentials
twitter_api_key=your_twitter_api_key
twitter_api_secret=your_twitter_api_secret
twitter_access_token=your_twitter_access_token
twitter_access_secret=your_twitter_access_secret
twitter_client_id=your_twitter_client_id
twitter_client_secret=your_twitter_client_secret
twitter_bearer_token=your_twitter_bearer_token

running the agent

1. make the script executable:

   chmod +x scripts/run_agent.sh
   

2. run the agent:

   bash scripts/run_agent.sh
   

summary

you can configure mcpagentai to run with twitter integration either using docker or by setting up environment variables in a .env file and running the scripts/run_agent.sh script.

this flexibility allows you to choose the method that best fits your deployment environment.

elizaos integration 🤖

mcpagentai offers seamless integration with elizaos, providing enhanced automation capabilities through eliza agents. there are two primary ways to integrate eliza agents:

1. directly use eliza agents from mcpagentai

this approach allows you to use eliza agents without running the eliza framework in the background. it simplifies the setup by embedding eliza functionality directly within mcpagentai.

steps:

1. configure mcpagentai to use eliza mcp agent: in your python code, add eliza mcp agent to the multitoolagent:

   from mcpagentai.core.multi_tool_agent import multitoolagent
   from mcpagentai.tools.eliza_mcp_agent import eliza_mcp_agent
   
   multi_tool_agent = multitoolagent([
       # ... other agents
       eliza_mcp_agent
   ])
   

advantages:

• simplified setup: no need to manage separate background processes.
• easier monitoring: all functionalities are encapsulated within mcpagentai.
• highlight feature: emphasizes the flexibility of mcpagentai in integrating various tools seamlessly.

2. run eliza framework from mcpagentai

this method involves running the eliza framework as a separate background process alongside mcpagentai.

steps:

1. start eliza framework: bash src/mcpagentai/tools/eliza/scripts/run.sh

2. monitor eliza processes: bash src/mcpagentai/tools/eliza/scripts/monitor.sh

3. configure mcpagentai to use eliza agent: in your python code, add eliza agent to the multitoolagent:

   from mcpagentai.core.multi_tool_agent import multitoolagent
   from mcpagentai.tools.eliza_agent import eliza_agent
   
   multi_tool_agent = multitoolagent([
      # ... other agents
      eliza_agent
   ])
   

---

tutorial: selecting specific tools

you can configure mcpagentai to run only certain tools by modifying the agent configuration in your server or by updating the server.py file to only load desired agents. for example:

from mcpagentai.tools.time_agent import timeagent
from mcpagentai.tools.weather_agent import weatheragent
from mcpagentai.core.multi_tool_agent import multitoolagent

multi_tool_agent = multitoolagent([
    timeagent(),
    weatheragent()
])
this setup will only enable **time** and **weather** tools.

integration example: claude desktop configuration

you can integrate mcpagentai with claude desktop using the following configuration (claude_desktop_config.json), note that local elizaos repo is optional arg:

{
    "mcpservers": {
        "mcpagentai": {
            "command": "docker",
            "args": ["run", "-i", "-v", "/path/to/local/eliza:/app/eliza", "--rm", "mcpagentai"]
        }
    }
}

---

development 🛠️

1. clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mcpagents-ai/mcpagentai.git
   cd mcpagentai
