Mcp Agentify

mcp-agentify

AI-powered MCP gateway that discovers tools from backend MCP servers and routes each natural-language request to one backend tool.

Experimental. The npm package is `@steipete/mcp-agentify`. The unscoped `mcp-agentify` package belongs to an unrelated project.

Requirements

• Node.js 20.19 or newer
• An OpenAI API key
• At least one stdio MCP backend

Install

npm install --global @steipete/mcp-agentify

The installed command remains `mcp-agentify`.

Configure

Create `mcp-agentify.json`:

{
  "openaiModel": "gpt-4.1-mini",
  "frontendPort": 3030,
  "agents": ["openai/gpt-4.1-mini"],
  "backends": [
    {
      "id": "filesystem",
      "displayName": "Workspace files",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem@2026.1.14",
        "/absolute/path/to/allowed/files"
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "browserbase",
      "displayName": "Browserbase",
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@browserbasehq/mcp@3.0.0"],
      "inheritEnv": [
        "BROWSERBASE_API_KEY",
        "BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID",
        "GEMINI_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Set credentials in the gateway process environment:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
export BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=...
export BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=...
export GEMINI_API_KEY=...
mcp-agentify --config /absolute/path/to/mcp-agentify.json

`inheritEnv` is an explicit allowlist. Backend processes receive a minimal default environment plus only listed variables and configured `env` values. A configured value such as `"TOKEN": "${TOKEN}"` expands from the gateway environment.

MCP client

Configure the gateway as a stdio MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@steipete/mcp-agentify",
        "--config",
        "/absolute/path/to/mcp-agentify.json"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OP
