Here’s how to get running in a temporary Room for Cloud-based testing:

​
Prerequisites

  • Python, Docker, and Meshagent CLI installed
  • Sign up and authenticate with Meshagent

​
Environment Variables

  • SUZIEQ_API_ENDPOINT=<replace-with-your-endpoint>
  • SUZIEQ_API_KEY=<replace-with-your-api-key>

​
Steps

  1. Install Meshagent (with all features): 
    pip install "meshagent[all]"
  2. Authenticate with Meshagent: Follow instructions at Meshagent CLI Getting Started.
  3. Start MCP Server as an Agent in a Meshagent Room: 
    meshagent service test \
  --room=test \
  --role=agent \
  --image=meshagent/mcp-suzieq-mcp:latest \
  --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 \
  --env SUZIEQ_API_ENDPOINT=<your-endpoint> \
  --env SUZIEQ_API_KEY=<your-api-key> \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-suzieq-mcp-service-test
    This starts a Room called test with your MCP Server running inside. If inactive, the Room and its agents will be deleted automatically.
  4. Start a Chatbot in the Same Room with the Suzieq MCP Toolkit: 
    meshagent chatbot join \
  --room=test \
  --agent-name=mcp-suzieq-mcp \
  --name=mcp-suzieq-mcp \
  --toolkit=mcp-suzieq-mcp
    • The CLI outputs a link to the Room when the chatbot joins.
    • Multiple toolkits can be attached to the same agent.
  5. Use the Room:
    • Visit the output link in your browser.
    • Send a message to the agent to interact with Suzieq MCP server tools.

​
Project Level Deployment

Deploy the MCP Server and Chatbot as persistent project-level services—making them automatically available in every Room created in your Meshagent project (perfect for production).
  1. Create MCP Server Agent Service: 
    meshagent service create \
  --role=agent \
  --image=meshagent/mcp-suzieq-mcp:latest \
  --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 \
  --env SUZIEQ_API_ENDPOINT=<your-endpoint> \
  --env SUZIEQ_API_KEY=<your-api-key> \
  --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" \
  --name=mcp-suzieq-mcp-service
  2. Create Chatbot Service with MCP Toolkit: 
    meshagent service create \
  --image="meshagent/cli:latest" \
  --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-suzieq-mcp-chatbot" \
  --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" \
  --name="mcp-suzieq-mcp-chatbot-service" \
  --command="meshagent chatbot service --agent-name=mcp-suzieq-mcp-chatbot --toolkit=mcp-suzieq-mcp"
  • Now, each time a Room is created in your project, both the MCP server and toolkit chatbot join automatically. No need to run them locally or launch them separately.
