Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "volcano-agent-sdk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "volcano-agent-sdk"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "volcano-agent-sdk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "volcano-agent-sdk"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "volcano-agent-sdk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "volcano-agent-sdk"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "volcano-agent-sdk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "volcano-agent-sdk"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "volcano-agent-sdk",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "volcano-agent-sdk"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "volcano-agent-sdk": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "volcano-agent-sdk"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: volcano-agent-sdk

Build a coding agent that uses GitHub + Sentry MCPs

👤 TS devs building internal automation ⏱ ~60 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: You want a programmable agent, not a chat session.

Voraussetzungen

Node 20+ — Standard
MCP endpoints for the tools you want (github, sentry, etc.) — Either existing public or your own deploys

Ablauf

Install + scaffold

npm install @volcano.dev/agent and write a minimal agent that connects to github + sentry MCPs with Anthropic as the model.✓ Kopiert

→ Running TS project
Write the task

The agent's task: every 15 min, find new Sentry errors, correlate to GitHub commits via MCP, draft revert PRs for the obvious ones.✓ Kopiert

→ Agent executes task autonomously
Instrument

Enable OTel traces and pipe to Honeycomb/Grafana.✓ Kopiert

→ Spans visible

Ergebnis: A production-ready automation agent with observability.

Fallstricke

Agent hallucinates tool calls that don't exist — Restrict the MCP set passed to the agent; fewer, well-documented tools > more
Retries amplify transient upstream issues — Tune retry policy and add exponential backoff

Kombinieren mit: github · sentry

Compose a multi-agent crew for research tasks

👤 Developers exploring agent patterns ⏱ ~45 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: A task benefits from specialization (researcher + writer + reviewer).

Ablauf

Define agents

Create agents: Researcher (web search MCP), Writer (drafts), Reviewer (fact-checks Researcher's sources).✓ Kopiert

→ Three typed agent instances
Delegate

Run the crew: topic 'state of MCP in 2026'. Have Researcher gather, Writer draft, Reviewer verify claims.✓ Kopiert

→ Coordinated output

Ergebnis: Higher-quality output than a single-pass agent on complex tasks.

Kombinieren mit: omnisearch

Build a streaming chatbot with tool access

👤 Product devs integrating AI into a TS app ⏱ ~40 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: User-facing feature that needs real-time streaming + MCP tool calls.

Ablauf

Wire streaming

Build a chat endpoint that streams tokens to the client and calls tools mid-stream as the model requests.✓ Kopiert

→ Working streaming endpoint
Explainability

After each response, expose agent.summary() so the UI can show which tools were used.✓ Kopiert

→ Tool trail visible

Ergebnis: A production chat UI with transparent tool use.

Kombinationen

Mit anderen MCPs für 10-fache Wirkung

volcano-agent-sdk + github + sentry

Autonomous triage agent across incident + code

Build an agent that, given a Sentry alert, fetches the stack, finds the offending commit via GitHub, and opens a PR with a minimal fix.✓ Kopiert

volcano-agent-sdk + vurb-ts

Vurb builds the server side; Volcano builds the agent side

Expose my business data via a Vurb MCP; build a Volcano agent that uses it to answer user questions.✓ Kopiert

Werkzeuge

Was dieses MCP bereitstellt

Werkzeug	Eingaben	Wann aufrufen	Kosten
(SDK)	You write TS; SDK picks tools from configured MCPs automatically	N/A — Volcano Agent SDK is a library you build with, not an MCP server you call	n/a — depends on model + tools

Kosten & Limits

Was der Betrieb kostet

API-Kontingent: LLM provider limits apply; MCP upstream limits apply
Tokens pro Aufruf: Depends on model + conversation length
Kosten in €: SDK free; LLM usage billed by provider
Tipp: Use cheaper models (Haiku/GPT-4o-mini) for routing and reserve expensive models for reasoning; Volcano supports per-step model choice.

Sicherheit

Rechte, Secrets, Reichweite

Credential-Speicherung: LLM provider keys + MCP credentials in env; SDK injects them

Datenabfluss: LLM provider APIs + configured MCP endpoints

Niemals gewähren: LLM keys to untrusted code paths in the same process

Auto tool selection means the agent can call anything you give it — scope MCP surface narrowly.
OTel traces may include prompt/response content — review before exporting to third-party APM.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

MCP connection fails on startup

Verify the MCP endpoint URL and auth. SDK logs full error when --debug is set.

Prüfen: Curl the MCP endpoint directly

Model refuses to use available tools

Tool descriptions may be poorly phrased; rewrite for clarity or force via agent config.

Prüfen: Inspect tools via agent.listTools()

High token cost on simple tasks

Check that system prompt isn't dragging MCP tool defs into every call; use lazy tool-load mode.

Prüfen: agent.summary() shows token breakdown

Alternativen

volcano-agent-sdk vs. andere

Alternative	Wann stattdessen	Kompromiss
LangChain / LangGraph (TS)	You want the largest ecosystem of integrations	Heavier abstraction; slower cold path
Vercel AI SDK	You want tight Next.js integration	Less focus on multi-agent patterns
Anthropic SDK raw	You only need Anthropic and minimal abstraction	You reimplement tool routing, retries, multi-provider
