# @particle-academy/agent-integrations [![Fancified](art/fancified.svg)](https://particle.academy) MCP-driven agent presence in collab sessions. Each open session gets a **micro-MCP server** running in-page; agents (in-browser or external via relay) connect to it and act as participants — adding sticky notes, drawing, moving items, leaving cursor trails. Also ships the **agent UX surface**: a chat-and-tool-log panel, an on-canvas presence cursor, and a brief activity highlight for items the agent just touched. > v0.1 — focused on `@particle-academy/fancy-whiteboard` as the first bridged surface. The bridge layer is package-agnostic, so other fancy-* packages can register their own tool sets per session. ## Install ```bash npm install @particle-academy/agent-integrations ``` ```ts import "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/styles.css"; ``` ## Which version range to depend on **Use a caret. `^0.46.0` is correct here, and it is deliberate.** ```jsonc "@particle-academy/agent-integrations": "^0.46.0" ``` This package is **pre-1.0, and breaking changes land in MINOR releases** — see the note at the top of [`CHANGELOG.md`](./CHANGELOG.md). A caret on a `0.x` locks the minor (npm reads `^0.46.0` as `>=0.46.0 <0.47.0`), so it gives you patches and holds you at a surface you have already integrated against. That is the right default when the next minor may change something under you. **Moving up a minor is a deliberate act.** Read that version's `CHANGELOG.md` entry before you do — breaking entries say what a consumer must actually DO, and about half of what reads as breaking needs no action at all. > **A note on the rest of the suite.** Some Fancy packages recommend an open > `>=X <2.0` range instead. That is not an inconsistency: those packages carry a > **runtime compatibility check** that fails loudly when a consumer is out of > step — `fancy-connector-core`'s `CONNECTOR_API_VERSION` is the example — which > is a stronger guarantee than a caret and makes the caret unnecessary. This > package has no such check, so the caret is doing real work. > > The rule inside the suite differs again: first-party packages depend on each > other with an open range because they are **released and tested together** at a > kit version. A consumer is not, which is why the advice here is not the same. ## Tree-shake-safe imports The root barrel is **core-only** — MCP server, presence, undo, sharing, plus the bridges and components that don't depend on optional peer packages (`fancy-sheets`, `fancy-forms`, `fancy-code`, `fancy-charts`, `fancy-scene`, `fancy-screens`). Bridges whose peer is optional (`fancy-whiteboard`, `fancy-flow`) and the `SharedWhiteboard` component are reachable **only via subpath imports** so a consumer that hasn't installed those peers bundles cleanly: ```ts // Core — always safe: import { MicroMcpServer, attachInProcess, registerSheetsBridge, useSheetsAdapter, useSheetsActivityHighlights, } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations"; // Optional peers — subpath imports: import { registerWhiteboardBridge } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/bridges/whiteboard"; import { registerFlowBridge } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/bridges/flow"; import { SharedWhiteboard } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/components/shared-whiteboard"; ``` Every bridge has a matching subpath if you'd rather import surgically: | Bridge | Subpath | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | whiteboard | `…/bridges/whiteboard` | | flow | `…/bridges/flow` | | sheets | `…/bridges/sheets` | | forms | `…/bridges/forms` | | code | `…/bridges/code` | | charts | `…/bridges/charts` | | scene | `…/bridges/scene` | | screens | `…/bridges/screens` | | screen contents | `…/bridges/screen-doc` | | passkeys | `…/bridges/passkeys` | | sheets adapter hook | `…/sheets-adapter` | | presence | `…/presence` | | undo | `…/undo` | | sharing | `…/sharing` | `registerScreensBridge` handles navigation between screens. ### Screens bridge: acknowledge after the host commits Every mutating screens adapter method (`setActive`, `createScreen`, `destroyScreen`, `updateScreenContent`) may return `void` **or** a Promise. A sync `void` adapter behaves exactly as it always has. When the host's commit is asynchronous and authoritative (persisted state, a possible refusal or conflict), return a Promise and the bridge waits for it: - the tool reports success, and emits its `AgentActivity` event, only after the promise resolves; - a rejection, or a resolved `{ ok: false, error }`, becomes an error result carrying the host's `error` text (its message only, never a stack), and emits **no** activity; - `screens_create` calls `createScreen` and then `setActive`. If `createScreen` fails, `setActive` is never called. If `setActive` fails after a successful create, the result is an **error** saying the screen was created but not activated (with `structuredContent: { id, kind, created: true, activated: false }`), and one activity event is still emitted because the create did commit. ```ts import { registerScreensBridge, type ScreensAdapterResult, } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/bridges/screens"; registerScreensBridge(host, { adapter: { listScreens: () => store.screens, getActive: () => store.activeId, // Resolve once the server has persisted it; refuse with a reason the agent can act on. setActive: async (id): Promise => { const res = await api.post(`/screens/${id}/activate`); return res.ok ? { ok: true } : { ok: false, error: res.reason, code: "conflict" }; }, createScreen: async (spec) => { await api.post("/screens", spec); // a throw becomes an error result }, }, }); ``` The screens bridge pushes **no undo entries**: `agent_undo` cannot revert a screens tool. Keep your own history if you need to. `registerScreenDocBridge` edits the nodes inside one screen and exports its `DocAdapter`, `ScreenDocBridgeOptions`, `ScreenDocNode` and `ScreenDocOp` types from `@particle-academy/agent-integrations/bridges/screen-doc`. The existing root import still works; nothing to do for existing consumers. Use a distinct `surface` tool prefix for each concurrently bridged document. ## When you don't need an MCP server If your agent runs in the same JS process as the surfaces it drives (an embedded chat widget, an in-page worker, an SSR-time tool loop), you don't need any of MCP's JSON-RPC framing. Use **`ToolRegistry`** — a plain in-memory tool host that the bridges register against. Agents drive the surface with `host.callTool("sheet_set_cell", { … })` directly. ```ts import { ToolRegistry, registerSheetsBridge, useSheetsAdapter, } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations"; const host = new ToolRegistry(); registerSheetsBridge(host, { adapter }); // in-process agent: await host.callTool("sheet_set_cell", { address: "B3", value: 42 }); ``` Need both? `MicroMcpServer` extends `ToolRegistry`, so the same instance serves direct in-process calls **and** SSE-relayed remote agents at the same time. Bridges accept either — every `register*Bridge(host, …)` signature takes a `ToolHost`. ## A headless MCP server over stdio For a Node process that an MCP client launches as a subprocess (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop), import the two **headless** subpaths. Neither reaches React or the DOM: `/mcp` imports no package at all, and `/mcp/stdio` imports only Node built-ins — a test walks both import graphs to keep it so. ```ts import { MicroMcpServer } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/mcp"; import { attachStdio } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/mcp/stdio"; const server = new MicroMcpServer({ info: { name: "my-server", version: "1.0.0" }, // Newest first. initialize echoes the client's revision when it is listed, // and answers the first entry otherwise. Omit to answer MCP_PROTOCOL_VERSION. protocolVersions: ["2025-11-25", "2025-06-18", "2024-11-05"], }); server.registerTool({ name: "hello", inputSchema: { type: "object" } }, () => ({ content: [{ type: "text", text: "hi" }], })); attachStdio(server); // stdin/stdout; pass { input, output } for other streams ``` stdout carries protocol frames and nothing else — log to stderr. A line that is not a JSON-RPC message is reported through `onError` (stderr by default) and skipped rather than ending the session, and replies still in flight when stdin ends are delivered before the transport closes. Import `/mcp/stdio` only from Node. Browser bundles import `/mcp`, which never pulls it in. **A tool name belongs to whoever registered it.** `registerTool` throws when a name is already held by a different registrant, and the error names both. Pass `{ owner }` to identify yourself: the same owner may register a name again (a React remount does), and every bridge already registers under its bridge id. Disposing frees the name. To take over another registrant's tool on purpose, pass `{ replace: true }`. ```ts server.registerTool(definition, handler, { owner: "support-triage" }); ``` ## Connect an agent to your app — `` The step *before* presence: getting your MCP server installed in the user's agent. `` renders the right "Add to Claude / Cursor / VS Code" affordance per client (each subtly different), and `writeMcpbBundle()` builds the Claude Desktop `.mcpb`: ```tsx import { ConnectorButtons } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations"; import "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/styles.css"; ``` ```ts import { writeMcpbBundle } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/connectors/build"; // Node, build-time ``` Full guide + the per-client format gotchas: [`docs/connectors.md`](./docs/connectors.md). ## Architecture ``` ┌─ Browser tab ───────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Whiteboard UI ── controlled state ── Bridge │ │ ▲ │ │ │ │ tool calls mutate state ▼ │ │ └────────── MicroMcpServer ◄─── Transport ◄─ │ │ ▲ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────┼──────────┘ │ ┌────────┴─────────┐ │ │ in-process relay (in-page agent) (external agent via Reverb / WS) ``` - **`MicroMcpServer`** is a transport-agnostic JSON-RPC 2.0 / MCP protocol handler. Register tools, attach transports, done. - **`InProcessTransport`** wires an in-page agent (e.g. an embedded Claude widget) to the server with zero serialization. - **`RelayTransport`** wraps any JSON duplex channel (Reverb whisper, WebRTC data channel, SSE+POST tunnel) so external agents can reach the browser session. - **Bridges** install a cohesive set of MCP tools against a host's controlled state. v0.1 ships the whiteboard bridge with the full tool kit. - **UI components** (`AgentPanel`, `AgentCursor`, `AgentActivityHighlight`) make agent presence visible. ## Quick start (in-page agent + whiteboard) ```tsx import { MicroMcpServer, attachInProcess, registerWhiteboardBridge, AgentPanel, AgentCursor, type AgentActivity, } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations"; import "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/styles.css"; function MyBoard() { const [notes, setNotes] = useState([]); const [shapes, setShapes] = useState([]); const [connectors, setConnectors] = useState([]); const [strokes, setStrokes] = useState([]); const [viewport, setViewport] = useState({ x: 0, y: 0, zoom: 1 }); const [agentCursor, setAgentCursor] = useState(null); const [activity, setActivity] = useState([]); const serverRef = useRef(); const transportRef = useRef(); useEffect(() => { const server = new MicroMcpServer({ info: { name: "whiteboard-session", version: "0.1.0" }, }); const bridge = registerWhiteboardBridge(server, { adapter: { getNotes: () => notes, setNotes, getShapes: () => shapes, setShapes, getConnectors: () => connectors, setConnectors, getStrokes: () => strokes, setStrokes, getViewport: () => viewport, setViewport, setAgentCursor, }, }); const transport = attachInProcess(server); serverRef.current = server; transportRef.current = transport; return () => bridge.dispose(); }, []); // ... render board, AgentPanel, AgentCursor when agentCursor is non-null ... } ``` For an end-to-end runnable, see the sandbox demo at `/whiteboard-agent` (added in a follow-up PR). ## External agent via relay External MCP agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, custom clients) reach a browser-hosted `MicroMcpServer` via a relay broker. The relay just shuttles JSON-RPC frames — it doesn't run tools or hold state. **Three ways to wire one up:** - **`docs/agent-hookable-demos.md`** — full end-to-end workflow (browser → relay → external agent), including a complete drop-in **Laravel 10+** reference implementation (~200 LOC controller + routes + CSRF entry). - **`docs/relay-server.md`** — the bundled Node relay (`agent-integrations-relay` bin, `createNodeRelay()` factory, Dockerfile). Use this when your site is not a Laravel/Rails/PHP app and you want a one-command deploy. - **`docs/relay-protocol.md`** — the on-the-wire JSON envelope, with notes on the three transports the protocol supports (Reverb, WebRTC, SSE+POST). The agent at the far end needs an MCP client. Beyond pasting the session URL into an existing one (Claude Code, Cursor, …), there's **[`mcp-relay-client`](https://github.com/Particle-Academy/mcp-relay-client)** — a single-file, zero-dependency client (bash / Python / TS / Go) built for these relay sessions: `curl -O …/connect.sh && bash connect.sh "" tools`. Pattern (Reverb): ```ts const channel = Echo.private(`agent.session.${id}`); const transport = attachRelay(server, { sendToRemote: (frame) => channel.whisper("mcp", frame), }); channel.listenForWhisper("mcp", (frame) => transport.deliverFromRemote(frame)); ``` Agents (Claude Desktop, Cline, custom) connect to the same channel via your auth bridge. ## Drive a page you don't own — `./dom-navigation` `registerNavigationBridge` (`page_describe`, `page_read`, `page_click`, `page_set_field`, `nav_visit`, …) needs an adapter that walks the page's DOM. `./dom-navigation` ships that walker framework-free, in two halves: - **In the page:** `createDomNavigationAgent()` — stable handles (`data-co-handle` → `name` → `id` → `role#index`), ARIA names, masking of sensitive values (password, `cc-*`, `one-time-code`, `data-private`), field writes that React-controlled inputs see, and rects. When your code does not run in the page, inject `DOM_NAVIGATION_SCRIPT` from `./dom-navigation/script` instead: a self-contained IIFE (no module system) that installs `globalThis.__fancyDomNavigation`. Re-injecting is a no-op. - **In the host:** `createRemoteNavigationAdapter({ transport })` — a `NavigationBridgeAdapter` over any `{ call(method, args): Promise }`. Results from the page are coerced to the declared shapes; the page is hostile. Electron, with the walker in an isolated world so the page cannot reach it: ```ts import { DOM_NAVIGATION_SCRIPT } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/dom-navigation/script"; import { createRemoteNavigationAdapter, domNavigationCallScript } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/dom-navigation"; import { registerNavigationBridge } from "@particle-academy/agent-integrations/bridges/navigation"; const WORLD = 1001; const wc = view.webContents; const inject = () => wc.executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld(WORLD, [{ code: DOM_NAVIGATION_SCRIPT }]); wc.on("dom-ready", inject); // every document needs its own copy const adapter = createRemoteNavigationAdapter({ transport: { call: (method, args) => wc.executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld(WORLD, [{ code: domNavigationCallScript(method, args) }]), }, confirm: (req) => askTheHuman(req), // without this, submits + destructive clicks are NOT staged }); registerNavigationBridge(server, { adapter }); ``` Adapter methods may return promises; the bridge awaits every call. The page is treated as hostile all the way into the agent's context. The bridge renders every page-supplied string on one line, with control characters removed and the length capped, so a label cannot forge an extra action or heading line. A handle that could pass for action syntax is shown as a `~N` alias, and every handle-taking tool maps it back. For `read()`, return a `PageReadout` (`{ title, headings, text }`) rather than a string. The bridge can then keep the outline one heading per line, while a plain string is rendered as one line. ## Tools shipped (whiteboard bridge) | Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | `whiteboard_get_state` | Full snapshot | | `whiteboard_list_items` | Summary of every item | | `whiteboard_get_item` | Detail by id | | `whiteboard_add_sticky` / `_update_sticky` | Sticky CRUD | | `whiteboard_add_shape` / `_update_shape` | Full shape kit (rect, rounded-rect, ellipse, diamond, triangle, line, arrow, text) | | `whiteboard_add_connector` | Connect two items / points | | `whiteboard_add_stroke` | Pen layer | | `whiteboard_delete_item` | Generic delete | | `whiteboard_set_viewport` | Pan / zoom | | `whiteboard_set_agent_cursor` | Move presence | ## Security / host obligations These bridges let an agent drive a human's terminal / files / editor / browser, so the host contract carries real weight. What the package does — and what it leaves to you: - **The MCP server is unauthenticated by design.** `MicroMcpServer` does no per-tool auth — possession of the relay **session token = permission to call every tool**, including `terminal_run`. Put it behind an **authenticating relay** and treat the token as a password. The standalone `ai-relay` now binds **`127.0.0.1`** by default (pass `--host 0.0.0.0` to expose, with a warning). - **Terminal is staged by default.** `registerTerminalBridge` defaults `pendingMode: true` and does **not** expose `terminal_confirm`/`terminal_reject` as agent tools (an agent must not confirm its own command). Wire a **human** control to the returned `bridge.confirm(id)`. `terminal_write` bytes are written verbatim (an embedded CR runs a command; ANSI/OSC reach the terminal) — set `osc52={false}` on any agent-driveable `` and gate writes like runs. `{ terminals }` grants the agent every listed pane unless you pass `canAccess`. - **Files must be root-scoped by the host.** Pass `root` to `registerFilesBridge` for a fail-closed string guard, but a host over a real filesystem MUST also `realpath` to defeat symlink/junction escapes — the bridge can't (it runs in the browser). - **Navigation / forms are trust-but-verify.** `nav_visit` allows only `http(s)`/relative URLs; `form_submit` stages on `adapter.confirm` when `pendingMode` is on. - **Passkeys are management-only, and that is not a gap.** `registerPasskeyBridge` exposes no tool that completes a WebAuthn ceremony — no `passkey_authenticate`, no `passkey_sign_in` — because a ceremony needs a user gesture and a biometric, and a tool that performed one would turn a phishing-resistant factor back into a bearer token. `passkey_revoke` **stages** a revoke for the human and has no `confirm` argument that would apply it (revoking the last passkey is a lockout). `passkey_list` re-projects onto the public summary fields, so handing it your ORM model cannot leak a public key, a user handle, or a signature counter. - **Activity reaches every peer; tool results reach the caller only if clients label themselves.** Since 0.44.0 a reply goes only to the client that asked when clients send a `client` query parameter; unlabelled clients still get every frame. Notifications are always broadcast. The terminal bridge redacts raw command bytes from broadcast meta, but treat anything you return as visible to every holder of the token — don't return secrets. - **The relay serves SSE and long-poll.** Behind Cloudflare (whose HTTP/3 edge resets long SSE streams) install `@particle-academy/fancy-cf-relay` so the browser polls; see `docs/relay-server.md`. Pass `--cors` a list of your sites' origins rather than leaving `*` on a public relay. ## Status `v0.1` — protocol + whiteboard bridge + UI.
