@lowdefy/connection-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection type for defining MCP server transport configuration.

Purpose

Provides the Mcp connection type — a configuration container for MCP server transport settings. Unlike AI provider connections, Mcp connections don't provide agent resolvers. They store transport config that agents reference via their mcp property.

Connection: Mcp

Not a provider connection — stores transport configuration only. The create() function returns the raw connection properties (passthrough).

Used by callAgent in @lowdefy/api to resolve mcpSource.connectionId references into inline config at runtime.

Properties vary by transport type:

HTTP transport:

• url — MCP server URL
• headers — HTTP headers (e.g., Authorization)

stdio transport:

• command — Command to execute
• args — Command arguments
• env — Environment variables

Schema: src/connections/Mcp/schema.js

No Agent Resolvers

MCP is a tool source, not an agent provider. Agents reference MCP connections to discover and use tools, but the agent resolver comes from the AI provider connection (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google).

Exports

• connections — { Mcp: { schema, create } }
• types — Type registry for plugin system
