What is the Letta MCP server?

Production-ready MCP server bridging Claude and Letta.ai agents. That is what the letta mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

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

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 7 tools. What each one is for:

  • letta_list_tools — List available tools
  • letta_attach_tool — Add tools to agents
  • letta_create_tool — Create custom tools
  • letta_set_tool_rules — Configure workflow constraints
  • Cursor — // Use in Cursor Chat Use letta_create_agent to set up a development assistant for this project
  • Replit — The Replit tool exposed by this server
  • Examples — The Examples tool exposed by this server

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: LETTA_API_KEY, LETTA_BASE_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Letta's toolset — letta_list_tools, letta_attach_tool, letta_create_tool and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

How to install the Letta MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "letta": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["letta-mcp-server"],

Frequently asked questions

It connects Letta to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (letta_list_tools, letta_attach_tool, letta_create_tool, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Letta directly.
