FAQ from Light MCP Agents

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is a standard protocol for communication and collaboration between language models and tools.

How do I configure an agent?

Agents are configured using JSON files that define their name, LLM provider, API key, server mode, capabilities, and connected servers.

Can agents delegate tasks to each other?

Yes, Light MCP Agents supports hierarchical agent structures where agents can delegate tasks to specialized lower-level agents through capabilities.

How is the integration with Claude Desktop achieved?

Agent configurations can be added to the mcpServers section of the Claude Desktop configuration file, enabling Claude to use custom agent capabilities.

What kind of capabilities can an agent have?

Agent capabilities are high-level functions that require LLM reasoning, such as summarizing a document or researching a topic.
