Run this after Dashboard setup — once you have copied the API key and MCP URL from Agentic Stack → Overview. No SDK or frontend required.

​
Prerequisites

  • curl and jq (optional, for pretty JSON)
  • Application API key from Overview
  • MCP URL (e.g. https://agent-kit.abstraxn.com/mcp or your dev host)
export APP_KEY="<paste-api-key-from-dashboard>"
export MCP_URL="<paste-mcp-url-from-dashboard>"
Run these commands on your machine or CI — not in a public gist. Rotate the key if it leaks.

​
Step 1 — List MCP tools (~30 seconds)

Expect HTTP 200 and a JSON-RPC result.tools array (tool count grows over time — use the live list, do not hardcode a fixed number). 
curl -s -X POST "$MCP_URL" \
  -H "Authorization: $APP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | jq .
Success looks like: result.tools is a non-empty array; each item has name, description, and inputSchema. If it fails: See Troubleshooting — MCP returns 401.

​
Step 2 — Call one tool (optional)

Pick any name from Step 1 and use its inputSchema for arguments. Example shape: 
export TOOL_NAME="<name-from-tools-list>"
export AGENT_ID="<agent-uuid>"   # when schema requires agent_id

curl -s -X POST "$MCP_URL" \
  -H "Authorization: $APP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",
    \"id\": 2,
    \"method\": \"tools/call\",
    \"params\": {
      \"name\": \"$TOOL_NAME\",
      \"arguments\": { \"agent_id\": \"$AGENT_ID\" }
    }
  }" | jq .
Agents are created via SDK quickstart or REST — not from the dashboard alone. If you see “Multiple active agents” or “No active agents”: See Troubleshooting.

​
Step 3 — Cursor (optional)

Paste the Overview MCP configuration snippet into Cursor, restart, and confirm the same tools appear in the MCP panel. Details: MCP in Cursor.
