## MCPAgent

```python theme={"system"}
class MCPAgent(ChatAgent):
```

A specialized agent designed to interact with MCP registries.
The MCPAgent enhances a base ChatAgent by integrating MCP tools from
various registries for search capabilities.

**Parameters:**

* **system\_message** (Optional\[str]): The system message for the chat agent. (default: :str:`"You are an assistant with search capabilities using MCP tools."`)
* **model** (BaseModelBackend): The model backend to use for generating responses. (default: :obj:`ModelPlatformType.DEFAULT` with `ModelType.DEFAULT`)
* **registry\_configs** (List\[BaseMCPRegistryConfig]): List of registry configurations (default: :obj:`None`)
* **local\_config** (Optional\[Dict\[str, Any]]): The local configuration for the MCP agent. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **local\_config\_path** (Optional\[str]): The path to the local configuration file for the MCP agent. (default: :obj:`None`)
* **function\_calling\_available** (bool): Flag indicating whether the model is equipped with the function calling ability. (default: :obj:`True`) \*\*kwargs: Inherited from ChatAgent
