LangChain mcpnav directory list_groups
How to: LangChain mcpnav directory list_groups
Add mcpnav directory to LangChain
-
01
Open pip install langchain-mcp-adapters and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
client = MultiServerMCPClient({
"directory": {
"transport": "streamable_http",
"url": "https://mcp.mcpnav.dev/mcp",
}
})
tools = await client.get_tools()
-
02
Save the file and restart LangChain.
-
03
Ask for something list_groups does. LangChain lists the server's tools on connect and calls list_groups itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that mcpnav directory's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
get_tools() returns the server's tools as LangChain tools, ready for an agent. LangChain docs
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
