Kagent Lab: Integrate tools from MCP servers with kagent

In this free, technical lab, explore how to build and interact with AI agents using MCP servers and the Kagent CLI.

• ‍Installing and using Kagent CLI: Learn how to install the Kagent CLI, set up your environment, and launch a REPL interface to install and manage agents directly in your Kubernetes cluster.
• ‍Building an MCP server with tools: Follow step-by-step instructions to create a custom MCP server with a simple tool that fetches webpage content, and deploy it into your cluster using Docker and Kubernetes.
• ‍Creating and configuring an AI agent: Discover how to define a new agent that connects to your MCP server and uses your tool to process user requests—complete with custom instructions and a Markdown-formatted response style.
• ‍Interacting with your agent: Use the Kagent CLI to start a chat session with your agent, submit a request, and watch as the agent intelligently invokes your tool to retrieve and summarize web content.

Gain hands-on practical experience building, deploying, and interacting with AI agents powered by MCP tools and Kagent.
