  --image=meshagent/mcp-lara:latest \
  --env LARA_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your_lara_key_id> \

  --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-lara-service
  • This starts a Meshagent Room (test) running the Lara MCP server.
  • The room shuts down if left inactive.

​
4. Join the Room with a Meshagent Chatbot

meshagent chatbot join \
