​
Prerequisites

  • Python & pip installed
  • Meshagent account (sign up)
  • Your Tembo Cloud API Key

​
Required Environment Variables

  • TEMBO_API_KEY: Your Tembo API key
Example: 
export TEMBO_API_KEY="your-tembo-apikey-here"

​
Step-by-step Quick Start

  1. Install Meshagent CLI and dependencies 
    pip install "meshagent[all]"
  2. Authenticate with Meshagent
  3. Start the Tembo MCP server in a Meshagent Room as a test agent 
    meshagent service test --room=test --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-tembo:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --env TEMBO_API_KEY=your-tembo-apikey-here --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-tembo-service-test
    • This starts a Meshagent Room named test with the Tembo MCP server running.
    • The room will automatically close if there is no activity.
  4. Join the Room with a chatbot that can use the Tembo tools 
    meshagent chatbot join --room=test --agent-name=mcp-tembo --name=mcp-tembo --toolkit=mcp-tembo
    • This starts a chatbot in the same Meshagent Room using the Tembo toolkit.
    • You may use multiple toolkits per Room and agent.
    • The command output provides a link to access the Room in your browser.
  5. Interact with the MCP Server
    • Visit the room link from the previous step.
    • Send a message to the agent chatbot to use Tembo Cloud platform tools in real time.

​
Project Level Deployment (Persistent Project-Wide Services)

For production environments and persistent availability, deploy the MCP server and chatbot as project-level services. This ensures the tools are always present in every Meshagent Room created under your project, removing the need to start them per room or locally.
  1. Create the Tembo MCP server as a persistent agent service 
    meshagent service create --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-tembo:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --env TEMBO_API_KEY=your-tembo-apikey-here --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-tembo-service
  2. Create the chatbot service that uses the Tembo toolkit 
    meshagent service create --image="meshagent/cli:latest" --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-tembo-chatbot" --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" --name="mcp-tembo-chatbot-service" --command="meshagent chatbot service --agent-name=mcp-tembo-chatbot --toolkit=mcp-tembo"
