MCP Agent Proxy

npm version License: MIT CI

Connect any MCP client to any agent server - creating an "Internet of Agents" through simple, composable primitives.

Supports Mastra ❀️ and LangGraph πŸ¦œπŸ•ΈοΈ servers! πŸŽ‰

Quick Start

Add this to your MCP client's configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpAgentProxy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-agent-proxy@latest"]
    }
  }
}

That's it! The proxy lets your MCP client connect to different agent servers and exposes agent interactions as MCP tools. It automatically detects agent server types and adapts accordingly.

What This Does

Instead of building complex protocols, we provide 5 simple tools that let agents discover, connect, and orchestrate across unlimited networks:

Tool

Purpose

listAgents

Discover available agents across all servers

describeAgent

Get detailed agent capabilities for intelligent routing

callAgent

Execute any agent with smart conflict resolution

connectServer

Dynamically add new agent servers at runtime

disconnectServer

Remove dynamically connected servers

Supported Server Types

  • Mastra: Support for local and remote Mastra servers

  • LangGraph: Support for local and remote LangGraph instances

  • Extensible: Plugin architecture makes it easy to add support for other agent frameworks

The Network Effect

Agent servers can be MCP clients themselves, creating recursive agent networks:

Your MCP Client β†’ MCP Proxy β†’ Agent Server (Mastra/LangGraph) β†’ Agents -> MCP Proxy -> Other Agent Servers β†’ πŸš€ Agents

One configuration line unlocks entire ecosystems of AI capabilities.

Building the Internet of Agents, one connection at a time.

Available Tools

5 tools
callAgentA

Proxies requests to a target agent using appropriate client libraries. Supports generate and stream interactions. Use server:agentId format for multi-server environments with agent name conflicts.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
targetAgentIdYes
interactionTypeYes
messagesYes
serverUrlNo
threadIdNo
resourceIdNo
agentOptionsNo

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations, so description carries full burden. Mentions proxying and two interaction types, but does not disclose side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or failure modes. Minimal transparency beyond basic function.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, no redundancy. Front-loaded with core purpose, then tucks in interaction modes and a naming tip. Every sentence earns its place; no fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 7 parameters, nested objects, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. Missing parameter details, return value description, prerequisites, and error conditions. Incomplete for the tool's complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%; description must compensate. Only hints at parameter usage via 'server:agentId format' (likely for targetAgentId). No explanation of messages structure, interactionType differences, serverUrl, etc. Leaves most parameters unexplained.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clear verb and resource: 'proxies requests to a target agent'. Distinguishes from sibling tools (connect, describe, disconnect, list) by focusing on interaction. Adds specificity with 'generate and stream interactions' and naming convention for multi-server environments.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implied usage: call an agent when you need to send messages. Sibling tool names make alternatives obvious. Provides a practical guideline for multi-server naming. Lacks explicit when/not or exclusions, but context is adequate.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

connectServerC

Connects to a new agent server (Mastra, LangGraph, etc.) and adds it to the proxy's server list.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
serverUrlYes
serverNameNo
validateConnectionNo

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, description is the sole source of behavioral info. It lacks details on side effects, permission requirements, connection validation steps, or behavior if server already exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, 17 words, achieves conciseness but at the expense of critical details. It is not overly verbose but fails to earn its place by providing necessary information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Lacks output description, no return value info. With 3 parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description leaves significant gaps about functionality and results.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, yet description adds no explanation for the three parameters (serverUrl, serverName, validateConnection). No insight into their purpose or usage beyond schema types.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states the tool connects to a new agent server and adds it to the proxy's server list. Specific verb 'connects' and resource 'agent server' distinguish it from siblings like disconnectServer and callAgent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not describe prerequisites, when to avoid, or compare with other agents management tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

describeAgentA

Gets detailed information about a specific agent, including its instructions/description.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
agentIdYes
serverUrlNo

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it gets information (read-only implied) but doesn't explicitly confirm lack of side effects or mention any special requirements. Acceptable but could be more explicit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single 13-word sentence, no redundancy, and front-loaded with the key action and resource.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, yet description does not clarify the structure of returned data beyond 'instructions/description'. For a 2-param tool, it is minimally adequate but could be more complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, and the description only mentions 'specific agent', loosely mapping to agentId. The serverUrl parameter is not explained at all, leaving its role unclear.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states it gets detailed information about a specific agent, including instructions/description. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like listAgents and callAgent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use when needing agent details, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use versus siblings or any prerequisites. It could mention that listAgents is for overview and this is for in-depth info.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

disconnectServerA

Disconnects from a dynamically connected agent server and removes it from the proxy's server list.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
serverNameYes

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses a destructive behavior (disconnect and remove), but does not mention side effects, reversibility, or error conditions. Basic behavioral context is present.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, front-loaded with essential information, no redundant words. Efficient and precise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has only one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic action adequately. However, it could mention error handling or preconditions for completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds minimal value by tying the 'serverName' parameter to the action, but does not specify format or provide examples beyond the property name.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (disconnects) and the resource (dynamically connected agent server) with the outcome (removes from proxy's server list). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like connectServer.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for disconnecting a dynamically connected server, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use or not use, and no alternatives are mentioned. Sibling tools like connectServer provide contrast, but no direct exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

listAgentsA

Lists available agents on all configured agent servers. Supports both single and multi-server setups with automatic conflict detection.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Describes scope and conflict detection, but no mention of read-only nature, performance, or side effects; no annotations present.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, no redundant words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Lacks details on return format or structure; has no output schema to compensate, but appropriate for a simple list tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters in schema, so description adds no additional parameter meaning; baseline score for 100% schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Lists available agents on all configured agent servers' with a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from siblings like callAgent, describeAgent, etc.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides context (single/multi-server, conflict detection) and implies usage for agent discovery, but no explicit when-to-use or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
