# Basic MCP Agent example
This MCP Agent app shows a "finder" Agent which has access to the [fetch](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/fetch) and [filesystem](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem) MCP servers.
You can ask it information about local files or URLs, and it will make the determination on what to use at what time to satisfy the request.
