Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@wikipedia-mcp-agentExplain quantum entanglement"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
🌐 Wikipedia MCP Agent
A conversational AI agent that searches and reads Wikipedia using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), LangGraph, and AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet).
Overview
This project wires together three modern AI infrastructure pieces:
MCP (Model Context Protocol) — a standard way to expose tools, prompts, and resources to an LLM
LangGraph — a graph-based agent framework for multi-step reasoning with tool calls
AWS Bedrock — managed LLM inference using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet
The agent launches an MCP server as a subprocess, dynamically loads its Wikipedia tools at runtime, and runs a stateful chat loop where the LLM can call tools as needed before answering.
