MCP

The MCP marketplace integrates featured MCP servers from the AgentArts platform, allowing you to browse and install them.

2. Click in the upper right corner of CodeArts Agent IDE to open the settings page.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose MCP.
4. On the Marketplace tab, find the required MCP server (such as Master of Ink Draft) and click on the right to install it.
   

   There is no hard limit on the number of MCP servers you can add on CodeArts Agent. However, for the best performance, we recommend the following:

   • Keep the total number of created servers under 20.
   • Keep the number of enabled servers under 8.
   • Enable 3 servers for the optimal experience.

   After the installation is completed, you can view the installed MCP server on the Installed tab.

5. Use the installed MCP server.
   1. At the bottom of the input box on the chat panel, choose Built-in > Agent to switch to the agent mode. The selected model is displayed on the right. You can select a model as required from the drop-down list.
      

      If the chat panel of CodeArts Agent is not displayed, click (Expand AI Sidebar) in the upper right corner of the top menu bar to open it.

   2. In the input box, enter the following information and click :

      Convert the AGENTS.md file to a Word file.

   3. View the invocation result of the MCP tool.

      If a corresponding Word file is generated in the project directory under the explorer, the MCP tool has been successfully invoked.

   • Keep the total number of created servers under 20.
   • Keep the number of enabled servers under 8.
   • Enable 3 servers for the optimal experience.

   The following is a general template for MCP configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "Server name": {
         "command": "Command for starting the process",
         "args": [
           "Parameter array"
         ],
         "env": {
           "Environment variables"
         }
       }
     }
   }

   Table 2 Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Server name	A unique name or identifier (maximum 64 characters) used to distinguish between different MCP servers. NOTE: If the server name exceeds 64 characters, the request may fail with the following error. For details, refer to the definition of Tools under Core Server Features. type: session.error info length over limit, maximum is 64
   command	(Mandatory) Enter the path of the command or program needed to start the MCP server.
   args	(Optional) Enter the list of parameters for the command. Use this along with command to configure the MCP server's operation.
   env	(Optional) Enter the environment variables passed to the MCP server. These variables must be strings.

   For example, you want to use Playwright to directly control the browser to perform automatic operations such as web page navigation, click, input, screenshot, and data extraction. The mcp_settings.json file is configured as follows:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "playwright": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "@playwright/mcp@latest"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

   In this example, you need to install the node.js environment on the local host. The node-v24.x version is recommended. The agent can install it for you upon request.

5. After the configuration is complete, press shortcut keys (Ctrl+S for Windows/Linux and Command (⌘)+S for macOS) to save the settings and wait until the tool is started.

   If issues arise during setup, go back to the chat page for assistance from the agent.

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "amap-maps-streamableHTTP": {
