What is the Skynet MCP Server?

An MCP Server that acts as an agent and that can spawn more Agents, by using MCP.. MCP Inception!

The short version

A hierarchical network of AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The AI Agents in this network can spawn new agents to have them do work, each agent also includes all the tools that the initiating agent has. The network of agents are capable of working through complex tasks, ranging from research, reporting, to coding.

Skynet-MCP is an advanced architecture that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create a hierarchical network of AI agents. Each Skynet-MCP instance acts as both an MCP server and MCP client, allowing it to provide tools to parent agents while also spawning and managing child agents.

  • Dual-Mode Operation — Acts as both MCP server and client
  • LLM Integration — Connect to OpenAI or Anthropic models for intelligent decision-making
  • Tool Discovery — Automatically discover and use tools from connected MCP servers
  • Hierarchical Agent Management — Create and manage child agents
  • Configurable — Flexible configuration system supporting multiple environments
  • FastMCP Integration — Built on the efficient FastMCP framework for robust MCP server implementations

What it needs from you

  • Node.js (v20+) - npm - Docker and Docker Compose (optional, for containerized development) - API keys for OpenAI or Anthropic (for LLM-powered agents)

Frequently asked questions

Skynet-MCP creates a recursive agent network where each agent can spawn child agents with the same toolset, enabling parallel task decomposition rather than sequential processing.
