The Letta MCP Server is a universal Model Context Protocol server that connects any AI client to Letta.ai's stateful agents, providing seamless integration and enhanced capabilities.

๐ŸŒ Letta MCP Server

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

๐Ÿš€ 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:

  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ Direct agent conversations from any MCP-compatible client
  • ๐Ÿง  Persistent memory management across platforms
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tool orchestration and workflow automation
  • ๐Ÿ“Š 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.

โšก Quick Start (60 seconds)

1. Install

pip install letta-mcp-server

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Claude Desktop
letta-mcp configure
Manual Configuration (Universal)

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "letta": {
      "command": "letta-mcp",
      "args": ["run"],
      "env": {
        "LETTA_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

Enable MCP support via chat.mcp.enabled setting, then configure the server above.

Other Clients
  • Cursor: Add server to MCP configuration
  • Replit: Use MCP template integration
  • Sourcegraph Cody: Configure through OpenCtx
  • OpenAI ChatGPT: Use MCP-compatible endpoint

3. Use From Any Client

๐Ÿ“Ž Use MCP tool: letta_chat_with_agent
Message: "What's the status of our project?"

๐Ÿ“š Documentation & Client Examples

Universal Usage Pattern

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

๐Ÿ”ง letta_list_agents          # List your agents
๐Ÿ”ง letta_send_message         # Chat with agents  
๐Ÿ”ง letta_update_memory        # Manage agent memory
๐Ÿ”ง 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  
๐Ÿ”ง 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"
