How do I test my agent's integration with the MCP Gateway locally?¶

Follow these steps:

1. Set up local environment:

   git clone https://github.com/agentic-community/mcp-gateway-registry.git
   cd mcp-gateway-registry
   cp .env.template .env
   # Configure your .env file
   ./build_and_run.sh
   

2. Test authentication:

   # For user identity mode
   cd agents/
   python cli_user_auth.py
   python agent.py --use-session-cookie --message "test message"
   
   # For agent identity mode
   python agent.py --message "test message"
   

3. Access the web interface at http://localhost to verify server registration and tool availability.
