| From there, the agent can run the MCP server with the `coder exp mcp server` command. You will need to set the `CODER_MCP_APP_STATUS_SLUG` environment variable to match the slug in the coder_app resource. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Example | ||
|
|
||
| Inside a Coder workspace, run the following commands: | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| coder login # be sure to be authenticated with the Coder CLI | ||
| export CODER_MCP_APP_STATUS_SLUG=my-agent # needs to be the same as the slug in the coder_app resource | ||
|
|
||
| # Use your own agent's logic and syntax here: | ||
| any-custom-agent configure-mcp --name "coder" --command "coder exp mcp server" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This will start the MCP server and report activity back to the Coder control plane on behalf of the coder_app resource. |

If we're mentioning the app status slug, we should also add a note about also needing to specify CODER_AGENT_TOKEN for app status reporting.
