Use Model Context Protocol (MCP) when an AI application needs a small set of callable tools. Use the Agent API when your application code should call Neuro over HTTP.
The Agent API is Neuro’s primary HTTP API; its name is unrelated to AI agents. MCP servers and permissions vary by Neuron, so obtain the endpoint and OAuth settings from its operator.

Safety model
- Connect only the MCP server required for the task.
- Grant only the OAuth scopes and Neuron privileges required by its tools.
- Keep approval boundaries around signatures, payments, identity disclosure, and destructive operations.
- Treat MCP safety annotations as planning hints, not authorization.
- Log identifiers and outcomes without logging secrets or unnecessary personal data.
No documented MCP server currently provides a complete identity-and-payment example. Do not infer those tools from the Agent API. Use only the tools returned by MCP discovery on your Neuron, and require human approval before signatures or payments.
