- Page URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq - Markdown URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq?format=agent-md You can install the local MCP server by opening a terminal and running: ``` npm install -g @agentpmt/mcp-router agentpmt-setup ``` This will connect you to local agents like Claude Code, Windsurf, Grok Build, Cursor, etc. Alternatively you can connect to the hosted version with this config block, no installation required: ``` { "mcpServers": { "agentpmt": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://api.agentpmt.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ", "x-instance-metadata": "{\"client\":\"generic-mcp\",\"platform\":\"remote\"}" } } } } ``` [View MCP Connection Instructions](/docs/mcp-reference/connection) for more details. #### How does an external agent use this tool? - Page URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq - Markdown URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq?format=agent-md After the external agent is connected to an Agent Group that can use this tool, paste this prompt into the agent: > Use the AgentPMT-Tool-Search-and-Execution tool. First call action 'get\_instructions' so you know how to use the tool search interface. Then call action 'get\_schema' with tool\_id 6980db7d71cad8f61bf5b1d7 ("Global Governance & Institutional Quality Data"). After reading the schema and any returned instructions, tell me what this tool can do, we are going to be using it The agent should fetch the tool schema first, collect the required parameters for your request, and then call the tool through AgentPMT. ### Dependencies This product has no public dependency products.
