elizaos_mcp
The Society ElizaOS Connector MCP enables the integration of ElizaOS agents with the Cursor IDE, allowing users to interact with agents, list available agents, and manage connections directly from the IDE. Its design facilitates seamless local operation, employing straightforward configurations.
Society ElizaOS Connector MCP
The Society ElizaOS Connector MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows you to seamlessly integrate your ElizaOS agents with Cursor. This enables you to list available agents, select a specific agent to interact with, and chat directly with your ElizaOS agents from within the Cursor IDE.
This MCP server runs locally on your machine and is managed by Cursor using the stdio
transport, meaning Cursor automatically starts and communicates with it.
Features
- List Agents: Retrieve a list of available agents from your ElizaOS instance.
- Select Agent: Choose a specific agent to interact with. The
Room ID
will be automatically set to match theAgent ID
. - Chat with Agent: Send messages to the selected ElizaOS agent and receive responses.
- Check Status: Verify the MCP server's connection state and current agent configuration.
Prerequisites
- Node.js and npm (v14 or higher).
- An ElizaOS server instance running and accessible (e.g., locally on
http://localhost:3000
). - Cursor IDE with MCP support.
Installation & Usage with Cursor
Quick Setup (Recommended)
The easiest way to use this MCP is directly with Cursor using npx. Cursor will automatically handle running the package.
- Configure Cursor:
Create or open the
.cursor/mcp.json
file in your project folder (or the global~/.cursor/mcp.json
file) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"society-elizaos-mcp-npx": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"society-elizaos-mcp@1.0.9"
],
"env": {
"ELIZAOS_SERVER_URL": "http://localhost:3000",
"ELIZAOS_USER_ID": "000000000000000000000000000000000000", example ad64a76a-0e09-0899-b8f8-492d6aea4118
"ELIZAOS_WORLD_ID": "000000000000000000000000000000000000", example c930b151-dcfb-41c5-96af-550ffea7023c
"ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID": "000000000000000000000000000000000000", example 85e9fa66-6f8c-0f18-922c-d6c962e21e18
"ELIZAOS_ROOM_ID": "000000000000000000000000000000000000", Need to be equal to the ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID
"ELIZAOS_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT": "120000",
"ELIZAOS_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT": "90000",
"PORT": "3099",
"DEBUG": "true",
"NODE_ENV": "production",
"MCP_DISABLE_PINGS": "true"
}
}
}
-
Replace all placeholder UUIDs with your actual ElizaOS IDs.
-
Restart Cursor to apply the configuration changes.
-
Start using the tools in the Cursor interface - they'll appear as:
get_status
list_agents
chat_with_agent
set_agent
Local Development Setup
If you want to run a local development version of the connector, follow these steps:
-
Clone and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/society-elizaos-mcp.git cd society-elizaos-mcp npm install
-
Build the package:
npm run build
-
Run locally:
# Set required environment variables export ELIZAOS_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:3000" export ELIZAOS_USER_ID="your-elizaos-user-uuid" export ELIZAOS_WORLD_ID="your-elizaos-world-uuid" export ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID="your-initial-agent-uuid" export ELIZAOS_ROOM_ID="your-initial-agent-uuid" # Run the server node dist/index.js
-
Or use the convenience script:
# The script sets default environment variables and runs the server ./scripts/mcp_run.sh
-
Configure Cursor for local version: If you want Cursor to use your local version instead of the npm package, update your
.cursor/mcp.json
:{ "mcpServers": { "society-elizaos-mcp-local": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/your/society-elizaos-mcp/dist/index.js" ], "env": { "ELIZAOS_SERVER_URL": "http://localhost:3000", "ELIZAOS_USER_ID": "your-elizaos-user-uuid", "ELIZAOS_WORLD_ID": "your-elizaos-world-uuid", "ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID": "your-initial-agent-uuid", "ELIZAOS_ROOM_ID": "your-initial-agent-uuid", "ELIZAOS_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT": "120000", "ELIZAOS_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT": "90000", "PORT": "3069", "DEBUG": "true", "NODE_ENV": "production", "MCP_DISABLE_PINGS": "true" } } } }
Configuration Options
All configuration is done through environment variables, which you set in the env
section of your .cursor/mcp.json
file:
Environment Variable | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
ELIZAOS_SERVER_URL | Yes | URL of your ElizaOS server (e.g., http://localhost:3000 ) |
ELIZAOS_USER_ID | Yes | Your ElizaOS user UUID |
ELIZAOS_WORLD_ID | Yes | Your ElizaOS world UUID |
ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID | No | Initial agent UUID to connect to (optional but recommended) |
ELIZAOS_ROOM_ID | No | Must match ELIZAOS_AGENT_ID if provided |
ELIZAOS_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT | No | Socket connection timeout in ms (default: 120000) |
ELIZAOS_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT | No | Agent response timeout in ms (default: 90000) |
Security Notice
⚠️ Important: Never include any API keys or secrets in your .cursor/mcp.json
file or in any code you publish. The MCP does not require any external API keys to function.
MCP Tool Reference
Once configured, Cursor can communicate with your ElizaOS agents through these four tools:
1. get_status
Gets the current connection status and configuration of the ElizaOS MCP.
Arguments: None required (pass an empty object {}
or {"random_string": "any"}
)
Returns:
{
"connectionState": "connected",
"currentAgent": "agent-uuid",
"currentRoom": "room-uuid",
"serverUrl": "http://localhost:3000",
"userId": "user-uuid",
"worldId": "world-uuid",
"connectionTimeout": 120000,
"responseTimeout": 90000
}
2. list_agents
Lists all available agents from your ElizaOS server.
Arguments: None required (pass an empty object {}
or {"random_string": "any"}
)
Returns:
[
{
"id": "agent-uuid-1",
"name": "Agent Name 1"
},
{
"id": "agent-uuid-2",
"name": "Agent Name 2"
}
]
3. chat_with_agent
Sends a message to the currently selected agent and returns the response.
Arguments:
{
"message": "Your message to the agent goes here"
}
Returns:
{
"messageText": "Your message to the agent goes here",
"senderId": "your-user-id",
"response": {
"senderId": "agent-id",

"source": "mcp_client_chat",
"thought": "Optional agent thought process if available",
"actions": ["REPLY"]
}
}
4. set_agent
Switches to a different agent. Note that agent_id
and room_id
must be identical in ElizaOS.
Arguments:
{
"agent_id": "the-agent-uuid-to-use",
"room_id": "the-agent-uuid-to-use"
}
Returns:
{
"success": true,

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
-
"Missing required ElizaOS environment variables":
- Ensure
ELIZAOS_USER_ID
,ELIZAOS_WORLD_ID
, andELIZAOS_SERVER_URL
are set in your MCP config.
- Ensure
-
"Failed to connect to ElizaOS for chat":
- Confirm your ElizaOS server is running at the specified URL.
- Verify the agent and room IDs match and are valid.
-
No agent responses:
- Check that the agent is active in your ElizaOS environment.
- Increase
ELIZAOS_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
if your agent takes longer to respond.
-
"For ElizaOS, agent_id and room_id must be identical":
- When using
set_agent
, ensure both IDs are the same value.
- When using
