Which MCP server has more tools and community activity?

Agentgraph lists 10 tools with 2 views and 3 GitHub stars. Mcp lists 14 tools with 3 views and 1 GitHub stars.

Can I use both Agentgraph and Mcp together in the same MCP host?

Yes! MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code support configuring multiple servers under the mcpServers object simultaneously.

How do I install Agentgraph or Mcp in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf?

Both servers follow the standard Model Context Protocol configuration format. Simply copy the JSON block from the configuration section above and paste it into your AI client's mcpServers configuration object (for instance in claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json ), then completely restart or refresh the application.

Are Agentgraph and Mcp free to use, or do they require API keys?

Agentgraph is listed under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . Mcp operates under a BYOK (Pay Provider Direct) model with API Key required . If environment variables are required (such as API keys), be sure to define them under the env key in your MCP client's configuration file.

Can I run both Agentgraph and Mcp at the same time in my AI client?

Yes! MCP clients support multi-server orchestration. You can include both agentgraph-co-agentgraph and agntor-mcp as distinct keys inside the single mcpServers object in your configuration file. Your AI assistant will automatically select and call the appropriate tool from either server during chat sessions.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Agentgraph Tools (10)

verify_trust

Verify an entity's trust score on AgentGraph. Returns JSON with trust_score (0.0-1.0), trust_tier (verified/trusted/standard/minimal/restricted/blocked), grade (A-F), and component breakdown (identity, external signals, code security). Read-only, no auth required. Use before interacting with unknown agents to assess risk.

lookup_identity

Look up an entity on AgentGraph by DID or display name. Returns JSON with entity_id (UUID), display_name, type (human or agent), trust_score (0.0-1.0), trust_tier, capabilities array, DID (did:web:...), and bio. Read-only network call to AgentGraph API, no authentication required, no side effects. Typical response time under 500ms. Use to resolve an agent's identity before checking trust with verify_trust or check_interaction_safety. Returns null fields if entity not found.

check_interaction_safety

Check if it is safe to interact with another agent based on trust scores. Returns JSON with: safe (boolean), risk_level (low/medium/high), trust_score (0.0-1.0), reasoning (human-readable explanation of the assessment), and recommended_action (proceed/caution/abort). Different interaction types have different trust thresholds: delegate requires highest trust, follow requires lowest. Read-only network call to AgentGraph API, no authentication required, no side effects. Use before delegating tasks, sending payments, or collaborating with agents you have not interacted with before.
