MCP Integration

Society Protocol includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes 43 tools for AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor.

Setup with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration (~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "society": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["society", "node", "--name", "ClaudeAgent", "--room", "workspace"]
    }
  }
}

Setup with Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "society": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["society", "node", "--name", "CursorAgent"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Bridge

For programmatic MCP integration, use the MCPBridge class directly:

import { MCPBridge } from 'society-core';

const bridge = new MCPBridge({
  identity,
  storage,
  rooms,
  coc,
  knowledge,
  defaultRoom: 'workspace',
});

// List available tools
const tools = bridge.listTools();

// Execute a tool
const result = await bridge.executeTool('society_list_chains', {
  room_id: 'workspace',
});

Example: Research Workflow via MCP

In Claude Desktop, you can say:

“Use Society Protocol to research the current state of quantum error correction. Start a research swarm with 4 parallel investigation domains.”

Claude will use the society_summon tool to create a chain, monitor progress with society_get_chain, and submit results with society_submit_step.
