Agent Starter Pack as MCP tool

[eliasecchig]

Proposed Solution: Wrap the existing Agent Engine Starter Pack as a Multi-Client Protocol (MCP) server.

Motivation: Offer a simple experience to develop agents in Agent Engine.

Key Capabilities/Benefits:

• Unified Interface: Allow any MCP-enabled client (e.g., LLM UIs, custom agents) to connect to the Starter Pack.
• LLM-Driven Agent Development: Empower LLMs to create, configure, and potentially modify AE instances, supporting both 'no-code' experiences and transparent code generation.

Illustrative User Journey:

1. A user, via an MCP-enabled client (e.g., an LLM desktop app), requests the creation of an Agent Engine template.
2. The client uses the MCP for AE server to provision the template.
3. The client can then modify the code on behalf of the user.
4. The client will be able to follow the development journey of the starter pack interacting with CLI and file system to bring the agent to production.
