# Install & Configure: Agents-Radar: Daily AI Ecosystem Reports via MCP Plugin
## What This Is
This tool automatically gathers the latest AI news, research papers, and trending projects from ten different sources every day. It provides this information as a daily briefing, accessible directly within your AI coding assistant to keep your team informed without manual searching.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing agent configuration (check for .claude/, .codex/, CLAUDE.md, settings.json, commands/, skills/ directories)
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Do I need to configure any service credentials for this plugin (database, API keys, etc.)?
2. Should this be project-scoped or global?
## What to Implement
This is an **Agent Plugin** — typically an MCP server or capability bundle.
- Install any required npm/pip packages from the source repository
- Register the MCP server in `.claude/settings.json` under the `mcpServers` key with the correct command and args
- Configure any required environment variables or credentials
- Verify the server starts correctly by checking its expected output
## Additional Context
- Locate the Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration file for the user's AI agent (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json` for Claude Desktop) and add the 'agents-radar' server by inserting the provided JSON snippet.
- After updating the configuration, verify the connection by instructing the agent to connect to the new MCP server and list the available tools, which should include `list_reports`, `get_latest`, `get_report`, and `search`.
- Execute a test command by using the `get_latest` tool to fetch the most recent English-language daily report and present a concise summary of its contents to the user.
## Reference Implementation
```
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agents-radar": {
"url": "https://agents-radar-mcp.duanyytop.workers.dev"
}
}
}
```
```
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
