Strategy ONE

Interact with Agents Using an MCP Server

Beginning in Strategy One (December 2025), you can interact with agents from multiple clients in a ChatGPT-like interface. The MCP server in Strategy Library exposes tools that allows MCP client applications to discover, interact with, and query agents directly. MCP clients can list available agents, view their details, and direct questions to specific agents via remote calls. The MCP server enables real-time, cross-system interaction with agents from multiple clients, improving usability, extensibility, and integration across platforms. It reduces operational friction and increases automation by allowing external tools to leverage agents programmatically.

You can interact with agents using either Claude PRO or VSCode Copilot.

Use Cases

  • List all agents connected to the MCP server, so that you know what you are working with. The MCP server returns agent names, IDs, and descriptions.

  • Ask a question. The MCP client determines the target agent, invokes it, and retrieves the answer.

Prerequisites

You must have the privileges outlined below.

Action Required Privilege Notes
Connect to MCP server Authenticated user Clients must have valid credentials and tokens
List agents Read access Only users with permission can list agents
Ask agent Run AI Bots Must be allowed to execute actions and questions

Agents must be certified to be used in the MCP server. This allows you to determine which agents are available. For example, if you want to test only production agents, you can certify only those.
