Tutorial: connect an MCP server to the Enydea agent

Level: IntermediateLast updated:

Goal

Connect an MCP server to the Enydea AI agent, switch on only the tools that look things up, ask the agent a question that uses one of them, and find that call in the log. This takes about 15 minutes.

The example uses DeepWiki, a public MCP server that answers questions about open-source code on GitHub and needs no key. The steps are the same for any MCP server.

What you need

  • A company admin account in Enydea. Other team members cannot manage MCP servers.
  • An active subscription. Each agent run counts as AI usage.
  • An MCP server address. For this tutorial: https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. For your own system: the https:// address and, if needed, an API key from its provider.

Note: DeepWiki is run by another company. Its tools and their names can change; the names below are examples.

Steps

Add the server

  1. Select the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar to open Settings. Open the Integrations tab and scroll down to MCP servers.
  2. Select Add MCP server.
  3. Enter DeepWiki as the Name and https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp as the Server URL (https).
  4. Set Authentication to None. With the default, Bearer token, the server is refused because a token is required.
  5. Leave Max calls per agent run at 20 and select Connect.
  6. A message says how many tools were found, all switched off until you allow them. The server appears in the list.

For your own system, choose Bearer token or Custom header in step 4 and paste the key in Token / API key.

Allow the read-only tools

  1. Select the DeepWiki row to open its panel. Read the tool list: each tool has a description and its inputs, and every policy says Off.
  2. Select Allow read-only tools. DeepWiki labels none of its tools, so Enydea goes by the names: tools whose names do not start with a word such as create, send or delete become Allowed.
  3. Check the list. Each allowed tool now shows its agent name, for example mcp__deepwiki__ask_wiki_question. Set any tool you do not want back to Off.

Ask the agent

  1. Select AI at the bottom right of the screen and switch the panel from CHAT to AGENT.
  2. Type: "Use DeepWiki to explain in five bullet points what the GitHub repository angular/angular is for." Press Enter.
  3. While the agent works, the panel shows each step and the tool it calls. When it is done, the answer ends with the number of steps and the tools it used.

Find the call

  1. Go back to Settings -> Integrations -> MCP servers. Close the DeepWiki panel and open it again.
  2. Expand Recent calls. The newest row shows the time, the tool, ok, the duration and the arguments the agent sent, such as the repository name.

Check your work

  • The DeepWiki row shows a green check icon and how many tools are on.
  • The agent's answer lists a tool that starts with mcp__deepwiki__.
  • Recent calls has a row with ok. If it says error, the row shows the reason. If the server shows an error line after Connect, fix the authentication in its panel and select Refresh tools. For a wrong URL, select Remove and add the server again.

Next steps

  • Connect your own system. Start with Allow read-only tools. Set tools that create, send or delete things to Ask to confirm, or leave them Off.
  • Let a scheduled task use the tools. See AI Assistant and AI Agents.
  • When you are done testing, select Turn all off or Remove.
  • Read the details, limits and security notes in MCP servers.
