Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard designed to seamlessly bridge AI models with external tools, local data sources, file systems, and databases. AMC WebUI delivers a complete MCP client implementation.

Supported Server Transports

1. Local Process (stdio)

• Prerequisite: Requires Docker Compose or self-hosted Node backend.
• Sample Configuration:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "filesystem": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/workspace"]
      }
    }
  }

• Security Flag: Backend must have ENABLE_MCP_STDIO=true explicitly set.

2. Remote Network Service (sse / http-stream)

• Compatibility: Any environment, including pure static Cloudflare Pages hosting.
• Workflow: Connects via Server-Sent Events (SSE) or long-polling HTTP streams directly to remote MCP hosts.

Key Management Tabs

Navigate to Settings -> MCP & Extensions:

1. MCP Tools:
   • Automatically synchronizes tool schemas from active servers.
   • Human-in-the-loop Approvals: Require user confirmation before executing potentially destructive actions (e.g., file edits or database mutations).
2. MCP Prompts:
   • Discover and apply server-provided prompt templates to instantly scaffold multi-step tasks.
3. MCP Resources:
   • Mount server-side data files (file:///... or db://...) into conversational context.
4. Live Logs:
   • Monitor real-time JSON-RPC request and response payloads for rapid debugging.
