FAQ from Mcp Agent Kit

Which LLM providers are supported?

OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Ollama are supported out of the box.

Do I need API keys for all providers?

API keys are required for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Ollama runs locally and does not need an API key.

Can I use WebSocket transport for MCP servers?

Yes – call server.start("websocket") to start the server on WebSocket instead of stdio.

How do I configure environment variables?

Set variables like OPENAI_API_KEY or LOG_LEVEL in a .env file or in your environment. The package automatically loads .env files using dotenv.

The default transport is stdio, unless you specify "websocket" as an argument to start().
