MCP Server Setup

Connect a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to extend your AI agents with custom tools.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. An MCP server exposes tools that AI agents can call to interact with databases, APIs, file systems, and more.

Step 1: Set Up an MCP Server

You can use any MCP-compatible server. Popular options:

  • Build your own with the MCP SDK
  • Use a pre-built server from the MCP community

Step 2: Configure in Sontairo

  1. In Sontairo, go to Connectors → Add Connector → MCP Server
  2. Click Configure
  3. Enter the Server URL (e.g., http://localhost:3001)
  4. Optionally enter an API Key if your server requires authentication
  5. Click Save & Activate
