Naden’s Native Integration for MCP Servers
- Overview: Naden has released a native integration for MCP servers, introducing two new nodes: MCP Server Trigger and MCP Client Tool.
- Version Requirement: Update your Naden instance to version 1.88 to access these features.
New Features
- MCP Server Trigger: Allows for integration with AI agents.
- Test and production URLs are provided, similar to webhooks.
- MCP Client Tool: Connects to various IDEs, enabling workflows.
Limitations
- Current integration lacks the ability to create a flexible MCP agent that interacts dynamically across multiple servers.
- The integration primarily uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoints, limiting flexibility.
- Features that allow custom commands and parameters are not fully available yet.
Use Cases
- Demo 1: Using the MCP agent in Nitn to call the MCP server trigger.
- Demonstration of sending a calendar event creation request.
- Demo 2: Connecting to Claude Desktop and utilizing Naden tools through it.
- Instructions for setting up Claude Desktop to enable MCP tools.
Observations and Suggestions
- The ability to prompt actions and responses from the MCP server is basic and can be inefficient in multi-step processes.
- Future improvements could include more dynamic and context-aware interactions, especially for email and social media posting tasks.
- Community collaboration and further development are encouraged for advanced functionalities.
