🌐 Letta MCP Server

Universal MCP server connecting any AI client to Letta.ai's powerful stateful agents.

🚀 Why This Matters

The Problem: AI ecosystems are fragmented. Your favorite AI clients can't easily access Letta's powerful stateful agents. Manual API integration is complex and time-consuming.

The Solution: Letta MCP Server provides universal connectivity to Letta.ai through the Model Context Protocol standard, enabling:

• 💬 Direct agent conversations from any MCP-compatible client
• 🧠 Persistent memory management across platforms
• 🛠️ Tool orchestration and workflow automation
• 📊 Unified agent analytics and monitoring

Who It's For: Developers building AI applications who want to leverage Letta's stateful agents from Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Replit, Sourcegraph Cody, OpenAI ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client.

⚡ Quick Start (60 seconds)

1. Install

pip install letta-mcp-server

2. Configure Your MCP Client

📚 Documentation & Client Examples

Universal Usage Pattern

All MCP-compatible clients follow the same pattern for using Letta tools:

🔧 letta_list_agents          # List your agents
🔧 letta_send_message         # Chat with agents  
🔧 letta_update_memory        # Manage agent memory
🔧 letta_attach_tool          # Add tools to agents

Client-Specific Examples

Claude Desktop

# Natural language interface
"Use letta_send_message to ask my sales agent about Q4 inventory"

# Direct tool usage  
🔧 letta_send_message
agent_id: "agent-123"
message: "What's our F-150 inventory status?"

GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

// In VS Code chat
@workspace Use letta_send_message to get project status from my agent

// Agent provides code-aware responses based on your repository context

Cursor

// CMD+K interface with agent context
// Agent understands your current codebase for intelligent assistance

// Use in Cursor Chat
Use letta_create_agent to set up a development assistant for this project

Replit

# In Replit workspace
# Configure MCP server, then use agent tools directly in your development environment

# Example: Create coding assistant
letta_create_agent(
    name="replit-dev-assistant", 
    persona="Expert in the current project's tech stack"
)

Sourcegraph Cody

// Enterprise code intelligence with Letta agents
// Agents provide contextual assistance based on your organization's codebase

// Example: Code review with agent memory
"Use letta_send_message to review this PR against our coding standards"
