remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides search functionality through the BRAVE_SEARCH tool, allowing agents to perform web searches using Brave's search engine

  • Enables interaction with Gmail accounts, giving agents the ability to work with email content and functionality

MCP servers powered by ACI.dev

Overview

For full documentation and tutorials on MCP servers please visit aci.dev docs.

This package provides two Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for accessing ACI.dev managed functions (tools):

  • aipolabs-mcp-apps: An MCP server that provides direct access to functions (tools) from specified apps
  • aipolabs-mcp-unified: An MCP server that provides two meta functions (tools) (ACI_SEARCH_FUNCTIONS_WITH_INTENT and ACI_EXECUTE_FUNCTION) to discover and execute ALL functions (tools) available on ACI.dev

Prerequisites

Before using this package, you need to (for more information please see tutorial):

  1. Set the AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY environment variable with your ACI.dev API key
  2. Configure apps and set them in allowed_apps for your agent on platform.aci.dev.
  3. Link your app specific accounts under the same --linked-account-owner-id you'll later provide to start the MCP servers

Installation

The package is published to PyPI, so you can run it directly using uvx:

# Install uv if you don't have it already curl -sSf https://install.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3 - pip install uv

Usage

Apps Server

The apps server provides direct access to functions (tools) under specific apps. You can specify one or more apps to use with the --apps parameter. (For a list of available apps, please visit ACI.dev)

# Using stdio transport (default) uvx aipolabs-mcp apps-server --apps "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL" --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID> # Using SSE transport with custom port uvx aipolabs-mcp apps-server --apps "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL" --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID> --transport sse --port 8000

Unified Server

The unified server provides two meta functions (tools) to discover and execute ANY functions (tools) available on ACI.dev, even if they aren't directly listed in the server.

The functions (tools) are dynamically searched and executed based on your intent/needs. You don't need to worry about having thousands of tools taking up your LLM's context window or having to integrate multiple MCP servers.

# During functions (tools) search/discovery, allow discoverability of all functions (tools) available on ACI.dev uvx aipolabs-mcp unified-server --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID> # During functions (tools) search/discovery, limit to only functions (tools) accessible by the requesting agent (identified by AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY) uvx aipolabs-mcp unified-server --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID> --allowed-apps-only

Understanding the Two Server Types

For full documentation and tutorials on MCP servers please visit aci.dev docs.

Apps Server

The apps server provides direct access to specific app functions/tools you specify with the --apps parameter. These tools will appear directly in the tool list when MCP clients (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) interact with this server.

Unified Server

The unified server doesn't directly expose app-specific tools. Instead, it provides two meta functions (tools):

  1. ACI_SEARCH_FUNCTIONS_WITH_INTENT: Discovers functions (tools) based on your intent/needs
  2. ACI_EXECUTE_FUNCTION: Executes ANY function (tool) discovered by the search

This approach allows MCP clients to dynamically discover and use ANY function available on ACI.dev platform without needing to list them all upfront. It can search for the right tool based on your needs and then execute it.

Configuration

For full documentation and tutorials on MCP servers please visit aci.dev docs.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "aipolabs-mcp-unified": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aipolabs-mcp", "unified-server", "--linked-account-owner-id", "<LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID>"] } } }

For apps-specific access:

{ "mcpServers": { "aipolabs-mcp-apps": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aipolabs-mcp", "apps-server", "--apps", "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL", "--linked-account-owner-id", "<LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID>"] } } }

Usage with Cursor

Add to your Cursor mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "aipolabs-mcp-unified": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aipolabs-mcp", "unified-server", "--linked-account-owner-id", "<LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID>"], "env": { "AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY": "<AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY>" } } } }

For apps-specific access:

{ "mcpServers": { "aipolabs-mcp-apps": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["aipolabs-mcp", "apps-server", "--apps", "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL", "--linked-account-owner-id", "<LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID>"], "env": { "AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY": "<AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY>" } } } }

FAQ

  • How do I get the AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY? The AIPOLABS_ACI_API_KEY is the API key for your ACI.dev project. You can find it in the ACI.dev project settings.
  • How to configure Apps and allow access to them? You can configure apps and allow access to them in the ACI.dev project settings.
  • How do I get the LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID? The LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID is the ID of the account that you want to use to access the functions. You can find it in the ACI.dev project settings.
  • What is the benefit of using the unified server over the apps server? Most of the current MCP servers are limited to a specific set of functions (tools), usually from a single app. If you need to use functions from multiple apps, you'll need to integrate multiple MCP servers. But even if you are ok with the managing overhead of integrating multiple MCP servers, your LLM tool calling performance might suffer because all the tools are loaded into the LLM's context window at once. The unified server, however, allows you to discover and execute ANY function available on ACI.dev dynamically without worrying about having thousands of tools taking up your LLM's context window or having to integrate multiple MCP servers.
  • How to specify a list of apps to use with the apps server? You can specify a comma-separated list of apps to use with the apps server using the --apps parameter. Try NOT to have spaces between the app names.
  • Can I just use functions (tools) from one app? Yes, you can just use functions (tools) from one app by specifying the (one) app name with the --apps parameter.

Debugging

You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server:

# For unified server npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx aipolabs-mcp unified-server --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID> # For apps server npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx aipolabs-mcp apps-server --apps "BRAVE_SEARCH,GMAIL" --linked-account-owner-id <LINKED_ACCOUNT_OWNER_ID>

Running tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log will show the logs from the server and may help you debug any issues.
