Follow these steps to test the Novita MCP server and chatbot completely in the cloud, using a Meshagent Room. All services will be removed when the Room closes. Environment variables:
  • NOVITA_API_KEY: Your Novita API key.

​
Steps

  1. Install Meshagent: 
    pip install "meshagent[all]"
  2. Sign Up & Authenticate:
  3. Start MCP Server Agent in a Room: 
    meshagent service test --room=test --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-novita:latest \
   --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --env NOVITA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
   --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
   --name=mcp-novita-service-test
    • Starts a Meshagent Room named test with an MCP Novita agent.
    • The Room closes if inactive—all cloud resources are deleted.
  4. Start the Chatbot in the Room: 
    meshagent chatbot join --room=test --agent-name=mcp-novita --name=mcp-novita --toolkit=mcp-novita
    • Starts a Meshagent chatbot in the same Room, able to use the Novita toolkit.
    • Output includes a browser link for the Room.
  5. Interact in the Browser:
    • Open the Room link from the output in any browser.
    • Send messages to the agent. The chatbot interacts with the MCP Server tools on your behalf.
Environment Variables (set with --env):
  • NOVITA_API_KEY – Your Novita token (replaceable).
  • MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 – Internal port for the MCP service.

​
Project Level Deployment

Create always-on agent services and chatbots that join every Meshagent Room in your project. This is recommended for production deployments—you never need to start or manage local processes.
  1. Create Persistent MCP Service: 
    meshagent service create --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-novita:latest \
   --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --env NOVITA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
   --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
   --name=mcp-novita-service
  2. Create Persistent Chatbot Service: 
    meshagent service create --image="meshagent/cli:latest" \
  --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-novita-chatbot" \
  --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" \
  --name="mcp-novita-chatbot-service" \
  --command="meshagent chatbot service --agent-name=mcp-novita-chatbot --toolkit=mcp-novita"
Once created, these services are automatically available in every Room throughout your project.
