# AutoGen and MCP

**[Getting started with AI](https://daily.dev/sources/gettingstartedai)** · 6 min read · 39 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Learn how to enhance AutoGen agents by connecting them to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, giving them access to external tools and capabilities. The tutorial demonstrates setting up a Python application with three agents that can communicate with both local and remote MCP servers, including a web fetching server and a custom C# server. Using the autogen-ext[mcp] extension, developers can easily integrate any MCP-compliant server to expand their agents' functionality beyond basic chat interactions.
