AgentAnycast MCP Server

Your AI assistant can now talk to AI agents anywhere in the world. Encrypted. Zero config.

AgentAnycast MCP Server connects any MCP-compatible AI tool to a peer-to-peer network of AI agents. Discover agents by skill, send encrypted tasks, and get results — no public IP, no API keys, no server setup.

uvx agentanycast-mcp    # That's it. Works with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI, and more.

What You Can Do

Once connected, ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Find agents that can translate Japanese" → discovers agents on the P2P network
• "Send 'summarize this article' to the translate agent" → encrypted task delivery
• "What agents are connected right now?" → network status

Install

pip install agentanycast-mcp    # or: uvx agentanycast-mcp

First run downloads the AgentAnycast daemon (~20 MB). Subsequent starts take < 3 seconds.

Cline

Add to Cline MCP settings (VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P → "Cline: MCP Servers"):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentanycast": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentanycast-mcp"]

      }
    }
  }
}

Roo Code

    "agentanycast": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentanycast-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (requires HTTP mode)

Deploy the server remotely with HTTP transport:

agentanycast-mcp --transport http --port 8080
# or: docker run -p 8080:8080 agentanycast/mcp-server

Then add http://your-server:8080/mcp in ChatGPT developer settings.

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set these in the "env" section of your MCP config:

Variable	Description
AGENTANYCAST_RELAY	Relay server multiaddr for cross-network P2P. Omit for LAN-only.
AGENTANYCAST_HOME	Data directory for daemon state (default: ~/.agentanycast).

Example with relay:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentanycast": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["agentanycast-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTANYCAST_RELAY": "/ip4/relay.agentanycast.io/tcp/4001/p2p/12D3KooW..."
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI Arguments

agentanycast-mcp [--transport stdio|http] [--port 8080] [--relay MULTIADDR] [--home DIR]

CLI arguments take priority over environment variables.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
discover_agents	Find agents by skill (e.g. "translate", "summarize")
send_task	Send an encrypted task to an agent (by PeerID, skill name, or HTTP URL)
get_task_status	Check the result of a previously sent task
get_agent_card	Get an agent's capability card (name, skills, DID)
list_connected_peers	List all connected P2P peers
get_node_info	Get this node's PeerID, DID, and status

How It Works

Your AI Tool (Claude, Cursor, ...)
    │ MCP (stdio or HTTP)
    ▼
AgentAnycast MCP Server
    │ gRPC (local)
    ▼
AgentAnycast Daemon
    │ libp2p (TCP/QUIC, Noise encryption, NAT traversal)
    ▼
Remote AI Agents (anywhere in the world)

• Zero config: uvx agentanycast-mcp — daemon is auto-managed
• Zero API keys: Agents are identified by cryptographic PeerIDs (Ed25519)
• End-to-end encrypted: Noise_XX protocol. Even relay servers see only ciphertext
• NAT traversal: Works behind firewalls with automatic hole-punching + relay fallback

What Makes This Different

This is the only MCP server that connects to a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Every other MCP server connects to a specific SaaS API. AgentAnycast connects you to any AI agent, anywhere, with no intermediary that can read your messages.
