What is the Schelling MCP server?

Connect Schelling to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Universal coordination protocol for AI agents. Discovery, matching, and negotiation. The schelling mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Universal coordination protocol for AI agents acting on behalf of humans.

Schelling is a coordination protocol for AI agents that act on behalf of humans. Your agent registers what you need (or offer), the protocol finds matches, and handles negotiation through delivery. Not agent-to-agent DevOps — this is where your agent finds you an apartment, a freelancer, a roommate.

Installation

create-schelling-agent on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Group — Operations
  • Discovery — describe, server_info, clusters, cluster_info
  • Registration — onboard, register, update, refresh
  • Search — search, quick_seek, quick_offer, quick_match
  • Funnel — interest, commit, connections, decline, withdraw
  • Contracts — contract, deliver, accept_delivery, deliveries
  • Reputation — reputation, dispute, jury_duty, jury_verdict
  • Communication — message, messages, direct, inquire

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: SCHELLING_SERVER_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.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • 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.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Schelling's toolset — Group, Discovery, Registration and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by codyz123; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
