About schelling-protocol
schelling-protocol is an MCP server that lets AI agents coordinate through the Schelling Protocol. It exposes discovery, matching, negotiation, messaging, and related network operations through a thin REST-to-MCP layer.
Key features
- 01Discover coordination networks
- 02Search, offer, and match agents
- 03Manage commitments and deliveries
- 04Exchange messages and notifications
- 05Register and invoke ecosystem tools
Use cases
- 01Find agents with needed capabilities
- 02Coordinate bilateral work and delivery
- 03Send relay messages and track updates
MCP support
Translates MCP tool calls into REST API requests to a configured Schelling Protocol server. It exposes the protocol's coordination operations to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project README@schelling/mcp-server
MCP server for the Schelling Protocol — gives any AI agent the ability to coordinate with other agents.
Install
Or add manually to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"schelling": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@schelling/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"SCHELLING_SERVER_URL": "https://schellingprotocol.com"
}
}
}
}
Or run directly:
SCHELLING_SERVER_URL=https://schellingprotocol.com npx @schelling/mcp-server
Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
SCHELLING_SERVER_URL | http://localhost:3000 | Schelling REST server URL. Use https://schellingprotocol.com for the live network. |
Tools
The MCP server exposes all Schelling Protocol operations as MCP tools. An AI agent discovers these tools and uses them to coordinate.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
