Overview

What is Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage?

This repository demonstrates how to create a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for LLMs to communicate with a Backstage instance. It includes a sample agent built with the Bee Agent Framework to interact with the MCP server.

How to use Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage?

Configure Backstage with static token-based authentication. Then prepare and run the MCP server by navigating to server/, installing dependencies (npm i), copying .env.template to .env, editing with valid values, and starting with npm run build && npm start. In a separate terminal, run the agent by changing to agent/, copying .env.template, installing dependencies, and executing npm run build && npm start.

Key features of Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage

  • MCP server exposing tools for LLMs to use Backstage APIs.
  • Sample agent built with the Bee Agent Framework.
  • Integration via static token-based HTTP authentication.
  • Runs locally on http://localhost:8080.

Use cases of Bee Agent & Model Context Protocol with Backstage

  • Demonstrating how an LLM agent can interact with Backstage using the MCP protocol.
  • Prototyping custom MCP servers for Backstage integration.
  • Exploring the Bee Agent Framework with real-world MCP tooling.
