description	Set up live chat with a deployed ibl.ai agent by wiring the hosted iblai-api-agent-chat MCP server into the project (.mcp.json / claude mcp add) using the .env Api-Token and a chosen agent's unique id. Use to enable runtime conversations with an agent. The actual chatting then happens through the MCP server's tools.

iblai-api-agent-chat

Enable live chat with a deployed agent. Unlike the other iblai-* skills (which call the REST API directly), runtime chat — streamed responses, tool use, RAG — is served by the hosted iblai-api-agent-chat MCP server. This skill does the one-time wiring so your assistant can talk to an agent; the conversation itself then runs through that server's MCP tools.

When to use

• You want to converse with an agent (not configure it). For configuring agents use the other /iblai-api-agent-* skills; to find an agent's unique_id use /iblai-api-search.

What you need

• IBLAI_API_KEY — your Platform API Token (from .env; run /iblai-api-login if it is not set).
• An agent's unique_id — the agent to chat with. Get one from /iblai-api-search (each result's unique_id), then confirm the choice with the user.

Setup

The server authenticates with two headers: Authorization: Api-Token <key> and X-Mentor-Unique-Id: <unique_id> (one agent per connection).

Claude Code

claude mcp add iblai-api-agent-chat \
  --transport http https://asgi.data.iblai.app/mcp/agent-chat/ \
  --header "Authorization: Api-Token $IBLAI_API_KEY" \
  --header "X-Mentor-Unique-Id: $MENTOR"

.mcp.json / Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to the project's .mcp.json (or the client's MCP config). Substitute the real token and unique_id — do not commit secrets:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iblai-agent-chat": {
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://asgi.data.iblai.app/mcp/agent-chat/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Api-Token YOUR_API_TOKEN",
        "X-Mentor-Unique-Id": "YOUR_MENTOR_UNIQUE_ID"
      }
    }
  }
}

After adding it, the assistant gains the server's chat tools — use those to send messages and receive the agent's streamed replies.

Notes

• One agent per connection — X-Mentor-Unique-Id is fixed per server entry. To chat with several agents, add multiple named entries (e.g. iblai-api-agent-chat-tutor, iblai-api-agent-chat-advisor), each with its own unique_id.
• The token lives in client config / .env — never commit it; .env and local MCP config should stay gitignored.
• This is the only runtime surface in iblai/api; everything else (configure, search, recommend, profile, analytics, admin) is a direct-REST skill.
