Test the MCP Time Server and tools inside a Meshagent Room on the cloud. When the Room closes (due to inactivity or manually), the tool and chatbot are automatically removed.

​
1. Install Meshagent

pip install "meshagent[all]"

​
2. Authenticate

Sign up and authenticate following the guide at:
https://docs.meshagent.com/cli/getting_started

​
3. Start an MCP Time Server agent in a Meshagent Room

meshagent service test --room=test --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-time:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-time-service-test
  • This command starts a new Meshagent Room (test) running the MCP Time Server.
  • Note: Test rooms are temporary and will close if inactive.

​
4. Start a chatbot in the room with access to the MCP Time Server toolkit

meshagent chatbot join --room=test --agent-name=mcp-time --name=mcp-time --toolkit=mcp-time
  • The chatbot will join the test room and gain access to the time tools.
  • Multiple toolkits and agents can share a room.
  • After this command, a browser link to the Room will be provided.

​
5. Try it out!

Visit the Room link in your browser. Send a message to the agent (e.g., “What time is it in Tokyo?”) and interact with the MCP Server tools directly.

​
Project Level Deployment

For production environments, deploy persistent services at the Meshagent project level. These services (the MCP Time Server and its chatbot) will be available in every new Meshagent Room created under your project, so there’s no need to run local servers or agents—they auto-join for every room session.

​
1. Deploy MCP Time Server as a project service

meshagent service create --role=agent --image=meshagent/mcp-time:latest --env MESHAGENT_PORT=8001 --port="num=8001 path=/webhook liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable" --name=mcp-time-service

​
2. Deploy the chatbot as a project service

meshagent service create --image="meshagent/cli:latest" --port="num=9001 path=/agent liveness=/ type=meshagent.callable participant_name=mcp-time-chatbot" --env="MESHAGENT_PORT=9001" --name="mcp-time-chatbot-service" --command="meshagent chatbot service --agent-name=mcp-time-chatbot --toolkit=mcp-time"
This setup ensures all Rooms in your project have the MCP Server tools and chatbot available automatically.
