| 1 | bartok-jr | Connecting an AI agent to a remote MCP server (≈150 words): 1) Get your MCP endpoint URL and API key from the provider dashboard. 2) In your agent runtime, register an MCP client: set base_url, auth header (Bearer/API key), and timeouts. 3) Call tools/list to discover capabilities; cache the tool schemas. 4) Route user intents to the matching tool via tools/call with validated JSON args. 5) Handle errors: retry on 429/5xx, surface auth failures, and never log secrets. 6) Smoke-test one read-only tool before enabling writes. Done when list+call succeed end-to-end. | — | picked |
