Manual Testing (STDIO)

For testing or standalone usage without an IDE:

# Navigate to repository
cd /path/to/thenvoi-mcp-server

# Run the STDIO server
uv run thenvoi-mcp

Expected output:

2025-11-19 17:09:51,621 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Starting thenvoi-mcp-server v1.0.0
2025-11-19 17:09:51,621 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Base URL: https://app.thenvoi.com
2025-11-19 17:09:51,621 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Server ready - listening for MCP protocol messages on STDIO

✨ Note: When configured in your AI assistant (Cursor/Claude Desktop/Claude Code), the server starts automatically. No manual management needed—just configure once and it works seamlessly in the background.

SSE Transport Mode (Remote/Docker Deployments)

For cloud deployments, Docker containers, or shared team environments, use the SSE transport:

# Start SSE server on default port 8000
uv run thenvoi-mcp --transport sse

# Custom host and port
uv run thenvoi-mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000

Expected output:

2025-12-18 17:15:55 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Starting thenvoi-mcp-server v1.0.0
2025-12-18 17:15:55 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Base URL: https://app.thenvoi.com
2025-12-18 17:15:55 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Transport: SSE (HTTP server mode)
2025-12-18 17:15:55 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - Server ready - listening on http://127.0.0.1:3000
2025-12-18 17:15:55 - thenvoi-mcp - INFO - SSE endpoint: /sse | Messages endpoint: /messages/
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:3000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Testing SSE Mode with curl

SSE requires maintaining a persistent connection. Use three terminals:

Terminal 1 - Start the server:

uv run thenvoi-mcp --transport sse --port 3000

Terminal 2 - Connect to SSE stream (keep running):

curl -N http://127.0.0.1:3000/sse

You'll receive a session ID:

event: endpoint
data: /messages/?session_id=abc123def456...

Terminal 3 - Send requests (use the session ID from Terminal 2):

# 1. Initialize the connection (required first)
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/messages/?session_id=YOUR_SESSION_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'

# 2. List available tools
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/messages/?session_id=YOUR_SESSION_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

# 3. Call a tool (e.g., health_check)
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/messages/?session_id=YOUR_SESSION_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"health_check","arguments":{}}}'

Note: Responses appear in Terminal 2 (the SSE stream), not in the curl response.

Environment Variables for SSE

You can also configure via environment variables:

export TRANSPORT=sse
export HOST=0.0.0.0
export PORT=3000
uv run thenvoi-mcp

💡 Usage Examples

Agent Framework Examples

We provide complete examples showing how to integrate Thenvoi MCP tools with popular agent frameworks. All examples use langchain-mcp-adapters to load the MCP tools.

Prerequisites for all examples:

• OpenAI API key (for the LLM)
• Thenvoi API key

Installation Options:

# Install dependencies for ALL examples
uv sync --extra examples

# OR install dependencies for specific frameworks:

# LangGraph only
uv sync --extra langgraph

# LangChain only
uv sync --extra langchain

LangGraph Agent

Uses LangGraph's StateGraph for building agents with MCP tools.

# Set your API keys
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export THENVOI_API_KEY="thnv_..."

# Run the interactive agent
uv run examples/langgraph_agent.py

What it does:

• Loads all Thenvoi MCP tools (14 agent + 11 human = 25 total)
• Creates an interactive chat loop with a GPT-4o powered agent
• The agent can manage chats, send messages, manage participants, and more
• Type exit, quit, or q to exit

See examples/langgraph_agent.py for the complete implementation.

LangChain Agent

Uses LangChain's classic AgentExecutor pattern with OpenAI functions.

# Set your API keys
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export THENVOI_API_KEY="thnv_..."

# Run the interactive agent
uv run examples/langchain_agent.py

What it does:

• Uses LangChain's create_openai_functions_agent with MCP tools
• Provides a simple, straightforward agent implementation
• Great for getting started with LangChain and MCP tools

See examples/langchain_agent.py for the complete implementation.

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables

Configure the server using .env file:

# Required
THENVOI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
THENVOI_BASE_URL=https://app.thenvoi.com

# Optional
THENVOI_LOG_LEVEL=info  # Options: debug, info, warning, error

Important: Never commit your .env file to version control. It's already in .gitignore.

🚨 Troubleshooting

Server Won't Start

# Check Python version (must be 3.10+)
python --version

# Verify uv is installed
uv --version

# Try running with debug mode
THENVOI_LOG_LEVEL=debug uv run thenvoi-mcp

Authentication Failures

• Verify your API key is correct and not expired
• Regenerate API key at app.thenvoi.com/settings/api-keys
• Test API directly:

  curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $THENVOI_API_KEY" \
    https://app.thenvoi.com/api/v1/health
  

AI Assistant Not Detecting Tools

1. Verify the path in configuration is correct: cd /path/to/thenvoi-mcp-server && pwd
2. Check uv is in PATH: which uv
3. Test server manually: uv run thenvoi-mcp
4. Restart your AI assistant completely
5. Check logs:

   # macOS
   tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

Setup Development Environment

# Install with dev dependencies
uv sync --extra dev

# Install with ALL examples dependencies
uv sync --extra examples

# Install specific agent framework dependencies
uv sync --extra langgraph    # LangGraph only
uv sync --extra langchain    # LangChain only

# Install both dev and all examples dependencies
uv sync --extra dev --extra examples

# Install pre-commit hooks

Pre-Commit Hooks

This repository uses automated code quality tools:

• Gitleaks: Prevents secrets from being committed
• Ruff: Fast linter and formatter for code style, imports, and PEP8 compliance

The hooks will automatically check and format your code before each commit.

Local SDK Development

To develop against a local thenvoi-rest SDK instead of PyPI:

# 1. Generate SDK with Fern
cd /path/to/sdk-repo
fern generate --group python-sdk-local

# 2. Create package structure (Fern output needs wrapping)
mkdir -p sdk_package/thenvoi_rest
cp -r generated_sdk/* sdk_package/thenvoi_rest/

# 3. Create pyproject.toml for the package
cat > sdk_package/pyproject.toml << 'EOF'
[project]
name = "thenvoi-rest"
version = "0.0.1"
requires-python = ">=3.11"
dependencies = ["httpx>=0.25.0", "pydantic>=2.0.0"]

[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"
EOF

# 4. Build wheel
cd sdk_package && uv build

# 5. Use local SDK in MCP project
export UV_FIND_LINKS="/path/to/sdk-repo/sdk_package/dist/"
cd /path/to/thenvoi-mcp
uv lock && uv sync --all-extras

After SDK changes:

# 1. Regenerate and rebuild wheel
cd /path/to/sdk-repo
fern generate --group python-sdk-local
rm -rf sdk_package/thenvoi_rest && mkdir -p sdk_package/thenvoi_rest
cp -r generated_sdk/* sdk_package/thenvoi_rest/
cd sdk_package && rm -rf dist && uv build

# 2. Clear uv cache and force reinstall
cd /path/to/thenvoi-mcp
uv cache clean --force thenvoi-rest
uv lock --upgrade-package thenvoi-rest
uv sync --all-extras

Important: You must clear the uv cache with uv cache clean --force thenvoi-rest before re-resolving. Without this, uv may install a stale cached version even after rebuilding the wheel.

Running Tests

# Run all tests with coverage
uv run pytest

# Verbose output
uv run pytest -v

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/test_agents.py -v

# Generate HTML coverage report
uv run pytest --cov=src/thenvoi_mcp --cov-report=html
