# Quick start

With pip:

```bash
pip install mcp-use
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/pietrozullo/mcp-use.git
cd mcp-use
pip install -e .
```

### Installing LangChain Providers

mcp_use works with various LLM providers through LangChain. You'll need to install the appropriate LangChain provider package for your chosen LLM. For example:

```bash
# For OpenAI
pip install langchain-openai

# For Anthropic
pip install langchain-anthropic

# For other providers, check the [LangChain chat models documentation](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat/)
```

and add your API keys for the provider you want to use to your `.env` file.

```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
```

> **Important**: Only models with tool calling capabilities can be used with mcp_use. Make sure your chosen model supports function calling or tool use.

### Spin up your agent:

```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from mcp_use import MCPAgent, MCPClient

async def main():
    # Load environment variables
    load_dotenv()

    # Create configuration dictionary
    config = {
      "mcpServers": {
        "playwright": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"],
          "env": {
            "DISPLAY": ":1"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    # Create MCPClient from configuration dictionary
    client = MCPClient.from_dict(config)

    # Create LLM
    llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")

    # Create agent with the client
    agent = MCPAgent(llm=llm, client=client, max_steps=30)

    # Run the query
    result = await agent.run(
        "Find the best restaurant in San Francisco",
    )
    print(f"\nResult: {result}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

You can also add the servers configuration from a config file like this:

```python
client = MCPClient.from_config_file(
        os.path.join("browser_mcp.json")
    )
```

Example configuration file (`browser_mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DISPLAY": ":1"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

        # Run a query to search for accommodations
        result = await agent.run(
            "Find me a nice place to stay in Barcelona for 2 adults "
            "for a week in August. I prefer places with a pool and "
            "good reviews. Show me the top 3 options.",
            max_steps=30,
        )
        print(f"\nResult: {result}")

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airbnb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Blender 3D Creation

import asyncio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from mcp_use import MCPAgent, MCPClient

async def run_blender_example():
    # Load environment variables
    load_dotenv()

    # Create MCPClient with Blender MCP configuration
    config = {"mcpServers": {"blender": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["blender-mcp"]}}}
    client = MCPClient.from_dict(config)

    # Create LLM
    llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620")

    # Create agent with the client
    agent = MCPAgent(llm=llm, client=client, max_steps=30)

    try:
        # Run the query
        result = await agent.run(
            "Create an inflatable cube with soft material and a plane as ground.",
            max_steps=30,
        )
        print(f"\nResult: {result}")
    finally:
        # Ensure we clean up resources properly
        if client.sessions:
            await client.close_all_sessions()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(run_blender_example())
```

# Configuration File Support

MCP-Use supports initialization from configuration files, making it easy to manage and switch between different MCP server setups:

```python
import asyncio
from mcp_use import create_session_from_config

async def main():
    # Create an MCP session from a config file
    session = create_session_from_config("mcp-config.json")

    # Initialize the session
    await session.initialize()

    # Use the session...

    # Disconnect when done
    await session.disconnect()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## HTTP Connection Example

MCP-Use now supports HTTP connections, allowing you to connect to MCP servers running on specific HTTP ports. This feature is particularly useful for integrating with web-based MCP servers.

Here's an example of how to use the HTTP connection feature:

```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from mcp_use import MCPAgent, MCPClient

async def main():
    """Run the example using a configuration file."""
    # Load environment variables
    load_dotenv()

    config = {
        "mcpServers": {
            "http": {
                "url": "http://localhost:8931/sse"
            }
        }
    }

    # Create MCPClient from config file
    client = MCPClient.from_dict(config)

    # Create LLM
    llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")

    # Create agent with the client
    agent = MCPAgent(llm=llm, client=client, max_steps=30)

    # Run the query
    result = await agent.run(
        "Find the best restaurant in San Francisco USING GOOGLE SEARCH",
        max_steps=30,
    )
    print(f"\nResult: {result}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Run the appropriate example
    asyncio.run(main())
```

This example demonstrates how to connect to an MCP server running on a specific HTTP port. Make sure to start your MCP server before running this example.

# Multi-Server Support

MCP-Use allows configuring and connecting to multiple MCP servers simultaneously using the `MCPClient`. This enables complex workflows that require tools from different servers, such as web browsing combined with file operations or 3D modeling.

## Configuration

You can configure multiple servers in your configuration file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airbnb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb", "--ignore-robots-txt"]
    },
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DISPLAY": ":1"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage

The `MCPClient` class provides methods for managing connections to multiple servers. When creating an `MCPAgent`, you can provide an `MCPClient` configured with multiple servers.

By default, the agent will have access to tools from all configured servers. If you need to target a specific server for a particular task, you can specify the `server_name` when calling the `agent.run()` method.

```python
# Example: Manually selecting a server for a specific task
result = await agent.run(
    "Search for Airbnb listings in Barcelona",
    server_name="airbnb" # Explicitly use the airbnb server
)

result_google = await agent.run(
    "Find restaurants near the first result using Google Search",
    server_name="playwright" # Explicitly use the playwright server
)
```

## Dynamic Server Selection (Server Manager)

For enhanced efficiency and to reduce potential agent confusion when dealing with many tools from different servers, you can enable the Server Manager by setting `use_server_manager=True` during `MCPAgent` initialization.

When enabled, the agent intelligently selects the correct MCP server based on the tool chosen by the LLM for a specific step. This minimizes unnecessary connections and ensures the agent uses the appropriate tools for the task.

```python
import asyncio
from mcp_use import MCPClient, MCPAgent
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic

async def main():
    # Create client with multiple servers
    client = MCPClient.from_config_file("multi_server_config.json")

    # Create agent with the client
    agent = MCPAgent(
        llm=ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620"),
        client=client,
        use_server_manager=True  # Enable the Server Manager
    )

    try:
        # Run a query that uses tools from multiple servers
        result = await agent.run(
            "Search for a nice place to stay in Barcelona on Airbnb, "
            "then use Google to find nearby restaurants and attractions."
        )
        print(result)
    finally:
        # Clean up all sessions
        await client.close_all_sessions()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

# Tool Access Control

MCP-Use allows you to restrict which tools are available to the agent, providing better security and control over agent capabilities:

```python
import asyncio
from mcp_use import MCPAgent, MCPClient
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async def main():
    # Create client
    client = MCPClient.from_config_file("config.json")

    # Create agent with restricted tools
    agent = MCPAgent(
        llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4"),
        client=client,
        disallowed_tools=["file_system", "network"]  # Restrict potentially dangerous tools
    )

    # Run a query with restricted tool access
    result = await agent.run(
        "Find the best restaurant in San Francisco"
    )
    print(result)

    # Clean up
    await client.close_all_sessions()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

# Build a Custom Agent:

You can also build your own custom agent using the LangChain adapter:

```python
import asyncio
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from mcp_use.client import MCPClient
from mcp_use.adapters.langchain_adapter import LangChainAdapter
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()


async def main():
    # Initialize MCP client
    client = MCPClient.from_config_file("examples/browser_mcp.json")
    llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")

    # Create adapter instance
    adapter = LangChainAdapter()
    # Get LangChain tools with a single line
    tools = await adapter.create_tools(client)

    # Create a custom LangChain agent
    llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools)
    result = await llm_with_tools.ainvoke("What tools do you have avilable ? ")
    print(result)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())


```

# Debugging

MCP-Use provides a built-in debug mode that increases log verbosity and helps diagnose issues in your agent implementation.

## Enabling Debug Mode

There are two primary ways to enable debug mode:

### 1. Environment Variable (Recommended for One-off Runs)

Run your script with the `DEBUG` environment variable set to the desired level:

```bash
# Level 1: Show INFO level messages
DEBUG=1 python3.11 examples/browser_use.py

# Level 2: Show DEBUG level messages (full verbose output)
DEBUG=2 python3.11 examples/browser_use.py
```

This sets the debug level only for the duration of that specific Python process.

Alternatively you can set the following environment variable to the desired logging level:

```bash
export MCP_USE_DEBUG=1 # or 2
```

### 2. Setting the Debug Flag Programmatically

You can set the global debug flag directly in your code:

```python
import mcp_use

mcp_use.set_debug(1)  # INFO level
# or
mcp_use.set_debug(2)  # DEBUG level (full verbose output)
```

### 3. Agent-Specific Verbosity

If you only want to see debug information from the agent without enabling full debug logging, you can set the `verbose` parameter when creating an MCPAgent:

```python
# Create agent with increased verbosity
agent = MCPAgent(
    llm=your_llm,
    client=your_client,
    verbose=True  # Only shows debug messages from the agent
)
```

This is useful when you only need to see the agent's steps and decision-making process without all the low-level debug information from other components.
