This repository provides a collection of skills for AutoGen Studio, leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized AI tool integration. It targets developers and researchers building AI agents that require dynamic access to external capabilities like web search, file operations, and browser automation, enabling agents to discover and utilize tools without explicit implementation knowledge.

How It Works

The project implements MCP as a flexible, dictionary-based protocol, akin to a USB standard for AI. This allows AI agents to discover and invoke tools by referencing server names and tool identifiers within a structured dictionary. The client library handles the communication, abstracting away the underlying server implementations, which are often Node.js packages managed via npx. This approach promotes a plug-and-play ecosystem for AI agent capabilities.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pip install mcp
• Prerequisites: Python 3.12+, Node.js and npx.
• Configuration: Copy mcp_config.example.json to mcp_config.json and edit with API keys and server commands.
• Run AutoGen Studio: autogenstudio ui --port 8080
• Documentation: Gallery Examples, Team Templates

Highlighted Details

• Standardized AI tool integration via Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Supports various MCP servers including Brave Search, Filesystem, Playwright, MongoDB, and more.
• Dynamic tool usage through dictionary-based arguments for discovery and execution.
• Includes example templates for agent workflows and tool integrations.

Maintenance & Community

The project is actively maintained by madtank. Further community engagement details are not explicitly provided in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: MIT License.
• Compatibility: Permissive MIT license allows for commercial use and integration with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The project relies on external Node.js packages managed via npx, which may introduce additional dependencies and potential conflicts. Some MCP servers require specific API keys (e.g., Brave Search).
