mcp-agent
Build AI agents using the Model Context Protocol as the universal tool interface
View on GitHubWhat it solves
Tool-wiring proliferation: instead of learning each framework's bespoke tool registration API, mcp-agent lets you wire any MCP-compatible tool into any agent with a single config entry.
Overview
mcp-agent from LastMile AI makes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) the wiring layer for everything in an agent system, tools, memory, sub-agents, and external services all exposed as MCP servers. An agent is a model plus a list of MCP endpoints; multi-agent workflows are chains of MCP calls. The framework stays intentionally thin, delegating all integration plumbing to MCP rather than reinventing it.

Where to start
The README examples show how an MCP server list replaces framework-specific tool registration, useful for understanding what MCP actually means for agent architecture.
