Quick Start

Server:

from strands import Agent
from strands_mcp_server import mcp_server

agent = Agent(tools=[..., mcp_server])
agent("start mcp server on port 8000")

Client:

from strands import Agent
from strands_mcp_server import mcp_client

agent = Agent(tools=[mcp_client])
agent.tool.mcp_client(
    action="connect",
    connection_id="remote",
    transport="http",
    server_url="http://localhost:8000/mcp"
)
agent.tool.mcp_client(
    action="call_tool",
    connection_id="remote",
    tool_name="calculator",
    tool_args={"expression": "42 * 89"}
)

For Agents like Claude Desktop/Kiro/...:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-agent": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["strands-mcp-server", "--cwd", "/path/to/project"]
    }
  }
}
