Overview

Distri is a composable agent framework for building and composing AI agents, written in Rust. It allows developers to create, publish, and combine agent capabilities using the Multi-Agent Communication Protocol (MCP).

Distri can be used by configuring agents through YAML files or Rust scripts. Users can run agents using sample configuration files and commands in the terminal.

Modular design for building independent agent modules - Standardized communication between agents via MCP - High performance and reliability due to Rust - Ability to publish agents as MCP-compatible tools - Simple API for integrating new capabilities

Building AI agents for specific tasks
Creating a network of agents that can collaborate
Developing tools that leverage multiple AI capabilities

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Distri: A Composable Agent Framework in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "distri-distrihub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-distri-distrihub"
      ]
    }
  }
}
