Overview
What is Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage?
This repository demonstrates how to create a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for LLMs to communicate with a Backstage instance. It includes a sample agent built with the Bee Agent Framework to interact with the MCP server.
How to use Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage?
Configure Backstage with static token-based authentication. Then prepare and run the MCP server by navigating to server/, installing dependencies (npm i), copying .env.template to .env, editing with valid values, and starting with npm run build && npm start. In a separate terminal, run the agent by changing to agent/, copying .env.template, installing dependencies, and executing npm run build && npm start.
