How can I connect an MCP server to the playground server and not use terminator?

General

Even though I can talk on the playground, the MCP server doesn’t connect.

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openrouter import OpenRouter
from agno.playground import Playground, serve_playground_app
from agno.storage.sqlite import SqliteStorage
from agno.tools.mcp import MCPTools
from mcp import StdioServerParameters
from textwrap import dedent

Storage path for agent sessions

agent_storage: str = “tmp/agents.db”

Create the MCP tool using the command parameter directly

server_params = StdioServerParameters(
command=“npx”,
args=[
“-y”,
“@bytebase/dbhub”,
“–transport”, “stdio”,
“–dsn”, “”
],
)

Instantiate the MCP tool

mcp_tools = MCPTools(server_params=server_params)

Create the agent

postgres_agent = Agent(
name=“PostgreSQL Assistant”,
model=OpenRouter(
id=“google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp:free”,
api_key=“”
),
tools=[mcp_tools],
instructions=dedent(“”"

    storage=SqliteStorage(table_name=“postgres_agent”, db_file=agent_storage),
    add_datetime_to_instructions=True,
    add_history_to_messages=True,
    num_history_responses=5,
    markdown=True,
    show_tool_calls=True,

)

Create the app to interact with the agent

app = Playground(agents=[postgres_agent]).get_app()

Start the server

if name == “main”:
serve_playground_app(“agent_postgre:app”, reload=True)

Hey Jhosep — welcome! You might find this helpful: mcp_demo.py cookbook. It walks through connecting MCP to Playground. Hope it helps, Let us know how it goes!

It’s okay, don’t worry. I think it’s an incredible tool, AGNO. I’m continuing to study to use it better.
Thank you for your help.
