FAQ

What makes this template different from other MCP server templates?

This template focuses on tools-first architecture for autonomous workflows, with emphasis on comprehensive tool descriptions and orchestration capabilities rather than complex primitives like Resources or Prompts.

Can I use this template for non-autonomous MCP servers?

While the template is optimized for autonomous workflows, it can be adapted for traditional MCP servers with human-in-the-loop interaction by modifying the tool descriptions and registration approach.
