What is an MCP Server?

An MCP server is a tool connector that lets AI agents interact with files, databases, APIs, developer tools, and other systems. AgentNode helps you discover, install, and run them.

Your First MCP in 3 Steps

1

Install AgentNode

bash
pip install agentnode-sdk

Python 3.10+ required. No account needed.

2

Install an MCP Server

bash
agentnode install mcp-filesystem

Connects your agent to the local filesystem. No API key needed.

3

Check & Run

bash
agentnode mcp doctor mcp-filesystem
agentnode run mcp-filesystem --input '{"path": "."}'

Doctor confirms your setup works. Run executes the MCP server and returns results.

Expected output

{"content": [{"text": "README.md\nsrc/\ntests/"}]}

That's it. Your first MCP server is running.

Next: Add an API-powered MCP

Now try an MCP that connects to an external service. This one searches the web via Brave Search.

bash
agentnode install mcp-brave-search

Set your API key

export BRAVE_API_KEY="your-key-here"

Get a free Brave API key

bash
agentnode mcp doctor mcp-brave-search
agentnode run mcp-brave-search --input '{"query": "latest AI news"}'
