MCP: Connecting Tools to Your Airia Agents

Model Context Protocol enables Airia Platform to discover and use Tools that are provided in an external server, providing a standardized way for Airia Agents to connect to these tools.

Airia currently supports MCP that are built on the following architectures:

• Server-Sent Events (SSE) / Streamable HTTP: SSE and Streamable HTTP Servers allow you to bring a remote server into Airia, and add it's tools to your project. With Remote Servers, tools are maintained by the server and new changes or modifications to the tools are automatically received by your Agent. SSE and Stremable HTTP servers are currently supported via unauthenticated URLs that you can add via the custom SSE integration.

For detailed instructions on how to add and manage these external servers, please refer to the Custom MCP Servers Setup guide.

• Secure, Airia Hosted We host a curated list of MCP Servers that you can add directly to your project by providing the necssary authentication tokens. Airia Hosted servers provide an additional level of security. These servers are spun up in ephemeral sandboxes for each request and run in an isolateded containers. Airia securely stores and handles your credentials and passes it to the MCP server only at the time of execution. The ephemeral nature of these sandboxes ensures no data or authentication tokens are stored at the MCP server. Additionally, Airia supports version pinning Airia hosted MCP servers ensuring that your Agents utilize stable tool versions.

To get started with using MCP Servers in your projects, navigate to the Tools library and find the list of MCP Servers we have whitelisted, or add a remote server by adding a new Tool.
