Topology-Based AI Agent Engine (MCP Server)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a deterministic, topology-based workflow engine for AI Agents. Instead of relying on open-ended, unpredictable persona prompting, this server interfaces with Cloudflare Workers to execute 10-step state transition pipelines at the edge, returning structured progress snapshots and iteration templates to the client.

Overview

This MCP server acts as a bridge between AI clients (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Glama) and an edge-computed topology execution engine running on Cloudflare Workers.

It allows an AI agent to map (analogize) human intent into a fixed, 10-step state transition pipeline. It delivers 10 output snapshots simultaneously alongside an adaptive JSON fill-in-the-blank template for the next iteration.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Protocol Compliance: Implemented using the official Model Context Protocol (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk).

• Deterministic Topology: Executes fixed problem-solving steps at Cloudflare Edge, eliminating hallucinatory loops and reducing GPU/token consumption.

• Human-in-the-Loop (Snapshot UX): Returns 10 intermediate progress snapshots at once, allowing users to inspect the timeline and roll back seamlessly.

• Adaptive Prompt Template: Appends an adaptive JSON schema at the end of output for smooth human-AI collaborative prompt refinement.

MCP Tools Provided

This server exposes the following MCP Tools to connected AI clients:

1. run_topology_pipeline

Executes a 10-step deterministic topology pipeline on Cloudflare Workers and returns 10 state transition snapshots along with a JSON iteration template.

• Input Schema (inputSchema):

  • task_description (string, required): The task or user intent to be processed through the topology.

  • filled_template (object, optional): A JSON object containing parameters or fill-in-the-blank values provided by the human or inferred by the agent.

• Behavior & Agent Prompt Instructions:

  1. The AI Agent maps the user's high-level request to the engine's fixed topology steps.

  2. The server calls the Cloudflare Workers API to execute state transitions.

  3. Returns a structured JSON payload containing 10 snapshots and an appendix_template.

  4. The AI Agent translates the appendix_template into natural conversation to help the human refine inputs for subsequent runs.
