Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
auto-mcpCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install the package (pip install naptha-automcp), run automcp init -f <framework> in your project directory to generate run_mcp.py, edit it to import your agent and define an input schema with Pydantic, then run automcp serve -t sse or automcp serve -t stdio. The server can also be run directly with Python or uv.

π Overview
automcp allows you to easily convert tools, agents and orchestrators from existing agent frameworks into MCP servers, that can then be accessed by standardized interfaces via clients like Cursor and Claude Desktop.
We currently support deployment of agents, tools, and orchestrators as MCP servers for the following agent frameworks:
1. CrewAI
2. LangGraph
3. Llama Index
4. OpenAI Agents SDK
5. Pydantic AI
6. mcp-agent
π§ Installation
Install from PyPI:
# Basic installation
pip install naptha-automcp
UV
uv add naptha-automcp
Or install from source:
git clone https://github.com/napthaai/automcp.git
cd automcp
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
π§© Quick Start
Create a new MCP server for your project:
Navigate to your project directory with your agent implementation:
cd your-project-directory
Generate the MCP server files via CLI with one of the following flags (crewai, langgraph, llamaindex, openai, pydantic, mcp_agent):
automcp init -f crewai
Edit the generated run_mcp.py file to configure your agent:
# Replace these imports with your actual agent classes
from your_module import YourCrewClass
Define the input schema
class InputSchema(BaseModel):
parameter1: str
parameter2: str
Set your agent details
name = "<YOUR_AGENT_NAME>"
description = "<YOUR_AGENT_DESCRIPTION>"
For CrewAI projects
mcp_crewai = create_crewai_adapter(
orchestrator_instance=YourCrewClass().crew(),
name=name,
description=description,
input_schema=InputSchema,
)
Install dependencies and run your MCP server:
automcp serve -t sse
π Generated Files
When you run automcp init -f <FRAMEWORK>, the following file is generated:
run_mcp.py
This is the main file that sets up and runs your MCP server. It contains:
- Server initialization code
- STDIO and SSE transport handlers
- A placeholder for your agent implementation
- Utilities to suppress warnings that might corrupt the STDIO protocol
You'll need to edit this file to:
- Import your agent/crew classes
- Define your input schema (the parameters your agent accepts)
- Configure the adapter with your agent
π Examples
Running the examples
The repository includes examples for each supported framework:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/NapthaAI/automcp.git
cd automcp
Install automcp in development mode
pip install -e .
Navigate to an example directory
cd examples/crewai/marketing_agents
Generate the MCP server files (use the appropriate framework)
automcp init -f crewai
Edit the generated run_mcp.py file to import and configure the example agent
(See the specific example's README for details)
Add a .env file with necessary environmental variables
Install dependencies and run
automcp serve -t sse
Each example follows the same workflow as a regular project:
1. Run automcp init -f <FRAMEWORK> to generate the server files
2. Edit run_mcp.py to import and configure the example agent
3. Add a .env file with necessary environmental variables
4. Install dependencies and serve using automcp serve -t sse
CrewAI example
Here's what a typical configuredrun_mcp.py looks like for a CrewAI example:
import warnings
from typing import Any
from automcp.adapters.crewai import create_crewai_adapter
from pydantic import BaseModel
from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
mcp = FastMCP("MCP Server")
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
from crew import MarketingPostsCrew
class InputSchema(BaseModel):
project_description: str
customer_domain: str
name = "marketing_posts_crew"
description = "A crew that posts marketing posts to a social media platform"
Create an adapter for crewai
mcp_crewai = create_crewai_adapter(
orchestrator_instance=MarketingPostsCrew().crew(),
name=name,
description=description,
input_schema=InputSchema,
)
mcp.add_tool(
mcp_crewai,
name=name,
description=description
)
Server entrypoints
def serve_sse():
mcp.run(transport="sse")
def serve_stdio():
# Redirect stderr to suppress warnings that bypass the filters
import os
import sys
class NullWriter:
def write(self, args, kwargs):
pass
def flush(self, args, kwargs):
pass
# Save the original stderr
original_stderr = sys.stderr
# Replace stderr with our null writer to prevent warnings from corrupting STDIO
sys.stderr = NullWriter()
# Set environment variable to ignore Python warnings
os.environ["PYTHONWARNINGS"] = "ignore"
try:
mcp.run(transport="stdio")
finally:
# Restore stderr for normal operation
sys.stderr = original_stderr
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == "sse":
serve_sse()
else:
serve_stdio()
π Running Your MCP Server
After setting up your files, you can run your server using one of these methods:
# Using the automcp CLI
automcp serve -t stdio # STDIO transport
automcp serve -t sse # SSE transport
Or run the Python file directly
python run_mcp.py # STDIO transport
python run_mcp.py sse # SSE transport
Or with uv run (if configured in pyproject.toml)
uv run serve_stdio
uv run serve_sse
Note about transport modes:
- STDIO: You don't need to run the server manually - it will be started by the client (Cursor)
- SSE: This is a two-step process:
1. Start the server separately: python run_mcp.py sse or automcp serve -t sse
2. Add the mcp.json configuration to connect to the running server
If you want to use the uv run commands, add the following to your pyproject.toml:
[tool.uv.scripts]
serve_stdio = "python run_mcp.py"
serve_sse = "python run_mcp.py sse"
βοΈ Deploying with Naptha's MCPaaS
Naptha supports deploying your newly-created MCP server to our MCP servers-as-a-service platform! It's easy to get started.Setup
Naptha's MCPaaS platform requires your repository be set up withuv.
This means you need a couple configurations in your pyproject.toml.
First, make sure the run_mcp.py file generated by naptha-automcp is the root of your repository.
Second, make sure your pyproject.toml has the following configurations:
[build-system]
requires = [ "hatchling",]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"
[project.scripts]
serve_stdio = "run_mcp:serve_stdio"
serve_sse = "run_mcp:serve_sse"
[tool.hatch.metadata]
allow-direct-references = true
[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
include = [ "run_mcp.py",]
exclude = [ "__pycache__", "*.pyc",]
sources = [ ".",]
packages = ["."]
If your agent is in a subdirectory / package of your repository:
pyproject.toml
run_mcp.py
my_agent/
|---| __init__.py
| agent.py
Make sure that it's imported like this in run_mcp.py:
from my_agent.agent
Not like below, since this will cause the build to fail:
``
python
from .my_agent.agent
`
Once you have configured everything, commit and push your code (but not your environment variables!) to github. Then, you can test it to make sure you set up everything correctly:
uvx --from https://github.com/your-username/your-repo serve_sse
If this results in your MCP server being launched on port 8000 successfully, you're good to go!
Launching your server
1. go to labs.naptha.ai
2. Sign in with your github account
3. Pick the repository you edited from your repository list -- we autodiscover your github repos.
4. add your environment variables e.g. OPENAI_API_KEY`, etc.
5. Click Launch.
6. Copy the SSE URL, and paste it into your MCP client:
