Built-in MCP Servers

Pre-built MCP servers you can add to agents without hosting or configuring a server URL.

Built-in MCP servers are pre-built tool collections hosted and maintained for you. Import them directly from @inkeep/agents-sdk and add them to any agent — no server URL required. Search servers require a credential to be configured.

Available servers

Export	Server	Description
`INKEEP_MEDIA`	`inkeep-media`	Image processing: info, resize, crop
`INKEEP_SEARCH.EXA`	`inkeep-search-exa`	Web search powered by Exa. Requires a credential.
`INKEEP_SEARCH.TAVILY`	`inkeep-search-tavily`	Web search powered by Tavily. Requires a credential.
`INKEEP_SEARCH.BRAVE`	`inkeep-search-brave`	Web search powered by Brave. Requires a credential.

Usage

import { subAgent } from "@inkeep/agents-sdk";
import { INKEEP_MEDIA, INKEEP_SEARCH } from "@inkeep/agents-sdk";

const myAgent = subAgent({
  id: "my-agent",
  name: "My Agent",
  description: "An agent with access to built-in tools",
  prompt: "You are a helpful assistant.",
  canUse: () => [INKEEP_MEDIA, INKEEP_SEARCH.TAVILY],
});

Tool reference

INKEEP_MEDIA

Tool	Description
`image_info`	Get metadata about an image (dimensions, format, size).
`image_resize`	Resize an image to specified dimensions.
`image_crop`	Crop an image to a specified region.

Image tools accept and return image data in a structured format, so they can be chained directly in a pipeline. For example, an agent can resize an image and then crop the result in a single sequence of tool calls — no intermediate artifact required.

INKEEP_SEARCH

Each search provider is a separate server. Use INKEEP_SEARCH.EXA, INKEEP_SEARCH.TAVILY, INKEEP_SEARCH.BRAVE, or INKEEP_SEARCH.SERPAPI.

Tool	Description
`web_search`	Search the web and return relevant results.

Note

Built-in servers can also be added from the Visual Builder under Tools → Built-in MCP Servers, without writing any code.
