4. Perform operations as prompted. If the MCP service requires API key authentication, enter the API key and click OK to enable the MCP service.

Creating a Custom MCP Service

If you already have tools and API resources available, you can use the MCP server to configure your MCP extension. After the MCP server is built, you only need to configure the corresponding tool on the agent development platform to create your own MCP service.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Agent Dev.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Workstation > Component Library. On the MCP Service tab page, click Create MCP Service.
3. In the Create MCP Service dialog box, set MCP Service Name, English Name, MCP Service Address, Description, and Authorization check by referring to Table 1, and click Test and Next.

   Table 1 Parameters for configuring MCP service information

   Parameter	Description
   MCP Service Name	Chinese name of an MCP service, which is displayed externally.
   English Name	English name of an MCP service, which uniquely identifies the MCP service in internal interaction. It is used in API calling, inter-system communication, and code reference. Ensure that the value is unique under the same tenant.
   MCP Service Address	SSE address of the MCP service. The service URL supports only HTTP and HTTPS. The system checks whether the URL is in the standard format. By default, the IP address corresponding to the URL cannot be an intranet IP address. Otherwise, the registration fails. NOTE: Public MCP services on the website and user-created MCP services are supported.
   Description	MCP service description.
   Only I can see	Whether to be visible only to the creator.
   Authorization check	Whether authentication is required when the MCP service is called. Without authentication: MCP services can be accessed publicly without any form of authentication or authorization. API Key: A unique API key is provided for authentication when an MCP service is called. Set Secret Key Location to determine whether the secret information is contained in the header or query. Set the API key authentication parameter names and values. NOTE: If the service address contains authentication information, you are advised to use the authorization check (API Key) function of the platform.
