agent: mcp

When does this happen?

IF Need to equip an agent with external tools via the Model Context Protocol (e.g., web browsing, code execution).

How others solved it

THEN Install @playwright/mcp npm package, then use StdioServerParams and McpWorkbench in AutoGen to attach MCP tools. Set max_tool_iterations to limit tool calls. Use agent.run_stream for streaming output.

import asyncio
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, StdioServerParams

async def main() -> None:
    model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4.1")
    server_params = StdioServerParams(
        command="npx",
        args=["@playwright/mcp@latest", "--headless"],
    )
    async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as mcp:
        agent = AssistantAgent(
            "web_browsing_assistant",
            model_client=model_client,
            workbench=mcp,
            model_client_stream=True,
            max_tool_iterations=10,
        )
        await Console(agent.run_stream(task="Find out how many contributors for the microsoft/autogen repository"))

asyncio.run(main())
