MCP Integration

Extend aidaemon with any Model Context Protocol server to add filesystem access, databases, APIs, and more.

How It Works

1. aidaemon spawns each configured MCP server as a subprocess
2. Communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout
3. Calls tools/list to discover available tools
4. Each discovered tool is wrapped as a native aidaemon Tool
5. The LLM can call MCP tools the same way as built-in tools

Protocol Details

• Protocol version: 2024-11-05
• Client info: name="aidaemon", version="0.1.0"
• Transport: line-delimited JSON over stdin/stdout
• Initialization: initialize request → notifications/initialized

Example

[mcp.filesystem]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-filesystem", "/home/user/documents"]

[mcp.sqlite]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@anthropic/mcp-sqlite", "my-database.db"]

[mcp.github]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"]
