Frequently Asked Questions about the dt_mcp Server

Q: What is the purpose of the dt_mcp Server? A: The dt_mcp Server manages decision trees and to-do lists, providing contextual information to AI Agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI Agents to make informed decisions based on structured data.

Q: What is MCP? A: MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs, allowing AI models to access and interact with external data sources and tools.

Q: What are .rtdq files? A: .rtdq files contain the definition of decision trees used by the dt_mcp Server. The server parses these files to load the tree structure into memory.

Q: What is Redis used for in the dt_mcp Server? A: Redis is used as a backend for storing parsed .rtdq data and to-do list items, providing fast and reliable access to the data.

Q: How does the dt_mcp Server integrate with the UBOS platform? A: The dt_mcp Server seamlessly integrates into the UBOS platform, enhancing the capabilities of AI Agents by providing them with access to structured decision tree data, allowing AI Agents to make more informed and context-aware decisions, leading to more effective and efficient automation.

Q: What are the prerequisites for running the dt_mcp Server? A: You need Node.js (v16+ recommended), npm (or yarn), and a running Redis server.

Q: How do I configure the dt_mcp Server? A: Configure the server using environment variables such as REDIS_URL (for Redis connection), RTDQ_DIR (for the directory containing .rtdq files), and PORT (for the server’s listening port).

Q: What MCP tools are available in the dt_mcp Server? A: The dt_mcp Server provides MCP tools such as get_dt_node_from_redis, add_todo, list_todos, and mark_todo_done.

Q: How can I call the MCP tools from my AI Agents? A: You can call the MCP tools using standard MCP methods via HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE) on the /mcp endpoint.

Q: What security measures should I implement when using the dt_mcp Server? A: Implement appropriate security measures to protect your Redis database and the dt_mcp Server from unauthorized access.
