Agent-to-Agent Setup

Connecting your tools to Chalie

Chalie’s MCP server is on by default. All you need is the server address — there is no token to copy and no header to set.

Step 1: Find your server address

The MCP server runs on port 8462 by default, on the same machine as Chalie.

• Same machine: http://localhost:8462
• Local network: http://<your-machine-ip>:8462 (e.g. http://192.168.1.50:8462)
• Named host: http://chalie.local:8462

To check or change the port, open the Brain dashboard (the 🧠 brain icon in the top-right corner), go to the MCP page, and look under the Inbound section. The status line there reads “Listening on port N” while the server is up, or “Not listening” with the reason. Changing the port or switching Server enabled off takes effect immediately — no restart.

Step 2: Configure your MCP client

Add this to your MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chalie": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Replace <HOST> and <PORT> with your values from step 1. No Authorization header is needed.

Where to put the config

Step 3: Verify the connection

Once configured, your tool should discover a talk_to_chalie tool. Try sending a test message:

“Say hello to Chalie and ask what it can help with.”

If you get a response, you’re connected.
