About mcp-agent
mcp-agent, from LastMile AI, builds agents on the premise that MCP plus simple patterns beats complex architectures. It fully implements MCP and manages server connection lifecycles, implements the patterns from Anthropic's Building Effective Agents in a composable way, and scales from simple agents to durable workflows on Temporal that can pause, resume and recover.
mcp-agent is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 8.6k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in January 2026.
