This repository contains JS SDKs designed to seamlessly integrate the functionalities of the MCP Toolbox into your Gen AI applications. These SDKs allow you to load tools defined in Toolbox and use them as standard JS functions or objects within popular orchestration frameworks or your custom code.
This simplifies the process of incorporating external functionalities (like Databases or APIs) managed by Toolbox into your GenAI applications.

The MCP Toolbox service provides a centralized way to manage and expose tools (like API connectors, database query tools, etc.) for use by GenAI applications.
These JS SDKs act as clients for that service. They handle the communication needed to:
- Fetch tool definitions from your running Toolbox instance.
- Provide convenient JS objects or functions representing those tools.
- Invoke the tools (calling the underlying APIs/services configured in Toolbox).
- Handle authentication and parameter binding as needed.
By using these SDKs, you can easily leverage your Toolbox-managed tools directly within your JS applications or AI orchestration frameworks.
Choosing the right package depends on how you are building your application:
@mcp-toolbox/core: This is a framework agnostic way to connect the tools to popular frameworks like Langchain, LlamaIndex and Genkit.
This repository hosts the following TS packages. See the package-specific README for detailed installation and usage instructions:
| Package | Target Use Case | Integration | Path | Details (README) | Npm Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
toolbox-core |
Framework-agnostic / Custom applications | Use directly / Custom | packages/toolbox-core/ |
📄 View README | 0.1.0 |
To get started using Toolbox tools with an application, follow these general steps:
-
Set up and Run the Toolbox Service:
Before using the SDKs, you need the main MCP Toolbox service running. Follow the instructions here: Toolbox Getting Started Guide
-
Install the Appropriate SDK:
Choose the package based on your needs (see "Which Package Should I Use?" above) and install it:
# For the core, framework-agnostic SDK npm install @mcp-toolbox/core -
Use the SDK:
Consult the README for your chosen package (linked in the "Available Packages" section above) for detailed instructions on how to connect the client, load tool definitions, invoke tools, configure authentication/binding, and integrate them into your application or framework.
