Using the MuleSoft MCP Server

The MuleSoft MCP Server integrates with the MuleSoft Dev Agent. Through this integration, you can build, deploy, and manage your projects using natural language prompts.Whether you’re using Anypoint Code Builder, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible IDE, you have direct access to the full lifecycle of Mule application development without leaving your editor.

Before You Begin

Before you get started, make sure you meet these prerequisites.

If you’re using Anypoint Code Builder, make sure that you:
- Set up and access the desktop IDE.
- Set the required Anypoint Code Builder permissions, including the Mule Developer Generative AI User permission.
- Enable Agentforce in Access Management.
If you’re using Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible IDE, make sure you set up and configure MuleSoft MCP Server for your IDE, including all permissions. See Getting Started with MuleSoft MCP Server.

Example: Create a Network Using the MuleSoft Dev Agent

In the Anypoint Code Builder activity bar (or similar location in your IDE), click the agent icon .
In the prompt field, describe your agent network, including the brokers, agents, MCP servers, and LLMs you want to connect. MuleSoft Dev Agent does the rest.

For example, consider this prompt entered using the agent’s Plan mode: Create a new agent network project called "Employee Onboarding." Add HR agent and CRM agent.

The agent asks for projectPath, which is a required parameter for the create_agent_network_project tool.

After successfully running, the agent creates a agent-network.yaml file and responds with a final success summary.

{
  "success": true,
  "projectPath": "/Users/test/src/mulesoft/mulesoft-mcp-server/Employee Onboarding",
  "message": "Employee Onboarding agent network created successfully",
  "components": {
    "agents": ["hr-agent", "crm-agent"],
    "brokers": ["onboarding-coordinator"],
    "connections": 1,
    "filesCreated": [
      "agent-network.yaml",
      "exchange.json",
      "README.md"
    ]
  },
  "nextSteps": [
    "Deploy to runtime environment using deploy_agent_network",
    "Publish to Exchange using publish_agent_network_assets",
    "Open project in workspace using open_project"
  ],
  "validationStatus": "passed"
}
