MCP Server

What AgentBase1/mcp-server does

AgentBase1/mcp-server MCP server makes the AgentBase instruction registry available through the Model Context Protocol. The registry contains reusable material for AI agents, including system prompts, skills, workflows, domain packs, safety filters, and orchestration patterns. Agents can query that collection and obtain the content of a selected instruction file without requiring a custom integration with the registry's web service.

The source description identifies 44 files in the registry. These files are available at no cost, and the registry's instruction content is described as CC0-licensed. That makes the server relevant for teams that want to share or reuse agent guidance across multiple workflows.

How it works

The server acts as an MCP-facing wrapper around AgentBase's HTTP endpoints. An MCP-compatible client invokes one of the exposed tools, and the server sends the corresponding request to the registry. Results are returned as structured MCP tool responses for the client or agent to use.

Search can be narrowed using a keyword, domain, or file type. After identifying a relevant entry, an agent can use its file ID to retrieve the specific instruction. Category and domain discovery are available separately, while the featured listing provides access to selected or highly rated entries.

AgentBase1/mcp-server MCP server is suited to runtime instruction loading rather than permanent configuration management. For example, an agent can look up domain-specific guidance when a task requires it, or a team can use the same registry to locate shared workflows and safety material.

Setup and configuration

The README provides an npm-based stdio configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@agentbase1/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

The package is started locally through npx, and the -y option allows non-interactive installation. The provided setup does not list environment variables, API keys, OAuth steps, or other credentials. It also does not document additional server configuration options.

Tools and capabilities

AgentBase1/mcp-server MCP server exposes four tools:

• search_registry searches instruction files using a keyword, domain, or type.
• get_file loads one instruction file when given its ID.
• list_categories returns the registry's available categories and domains.
• get_featured returns featured or top-rated instruction files.

These tools cover discovery and retrieval. They do not indicate that the server edits registry entries, uploads files, rates content, or executes the instructions it returns. The server provides access to instruction material; the consuming agent decides how to apply that material.

The documented use cases include loading domain-specific instructions during agent operation, retrieving skills for Claude Code workflows, sharing prompts and workflows between teams, and obtaining safety filters for production AI deployments.

The registry can also be browsed directly through the AgentBase website, but the MCP server is the interface intended for MCP-compatible agents.
