MCP Servers

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets agents access external tools and data sources. An agent with MCP servers can read databases, browse the web, manage files, and more.

What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol for connecting AI models to tools. RightPlace implements MCP so your agents can use tools from:

• RightPlace resources — connect your WordPress sites, databases, file systems as tools
• Custom MCP servers — any server implementing the MCP protocol
• Community servers — growing ecosystem of open-source MCP servers

Configuring MCP Servers

In the UI

1. Open your agent’s settings panel
2. Scroll to MCP Servers
3. Click Add Server
4. Choose a resource or enter a custom server URL

In agent.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "type": "resource",
      "resourceId": "uuid-of-wordpress-resource"
    },
    {
      "type": "custom",
      "name": "My Custom Server",
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/mcp",
      "config": {}
    }
  ]
}

Resource-Based MCP

RightPlace resources can expose themselves as MCP tool providers. When you connect a resource as an MCP server, the agent gains access to that resource’s capabilities.

For example, connecting a WordPress resource gives the agent tools to:

• Read and create posts, pages, and media
• Manage plugins and themes
• Query the WordPress database
• Access site files

Team-Level MCP

MCP servers configured at the team level (team.json) are shared across all agents in the team. Individual agents inherit team MCP servers.

// team.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "type": "resource",
      "resourceId": "uuid-of-shared-database"
    }
  ]
}

Global MCP Settings

Configure MCP servers globally in Settings > MCP. These can be shared across projects and used by external tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.
