# AutoGen Extension for MCP Tools

[](https://codecov.io/gh/richard-gyiko/autogen-ext-mcp)
## 🚨 **This repository is now archived** 🚨
The functionality of this project has been integrated directly into the official [`autogen-ext`](https://pypi.org/project/autogen-ext/) package and is available from [`version v0.4.6`](https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/releases/tag/python-v0.4.6).
You can now use it directly in `autogen-ext` without needing this separate package.
For further updates and improvements, please refer to the official [`autogen`](https://github.com/microsoft/autogen) repository.
# About
This package provides integration between [Microsoft AutoGen](https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/) and the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io), enabling AutoGen agents to seamlessly connect with various data sources and tools.
MCP is an open standard that enables secure, two-way connections between AI systems and data sources, replacing fragmented integrations with a single universal protocol. This allows AI assistants to maintain context as they move between different tools and datasets.
## Installation
```bash
pip install autogen-ext-mcp
```
## Features
- Seamless integration of MCP tools with AutoGen agents
- Connect to any MCP-compatible data source or tool
- Automatic conversion of MCP tool schemas to AutoGen-compatible formats
## Quick Start
```python
from autogen_ext_mcp.tools import mcp_server_tools, StdioServerParams
from pathlib import Path
# Get desktop path cross-platform
desktop_path = str(Path.home() / "Desktop")
# Connect to FileSystem MCP server
server_params = StdioServerParams(
command="npx",
args=[
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
desktop_path, # Allow access to Desktop directory
]
)
# Get tools
tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)
# Use tools with AutoGen agents
# The tools can be passed to any AutoGen agent that supports tool use
```
