I am following the UiPath Academy course Agentic Automation Developer Associate, specifically the MCP module “Use MCP server as a tool”.
I have reached the step where I need to create the MCP Server:
Select Coded, provide a name for the MCP server (
imfinanceserver), select the process created earlier (mcpfinanceserver), and click Add.
However, the MCP Server creation fails during the dependency installation stage with the following error:
Failed to build msgpack==1.1.1
error: command 'cc' failed: No such file or directory
Relevant log details:
Using CPython 3.14.5
help: msgpack (v1.1.1) was included because:
mcpfinanceserver (v0.0.2)
depends on uipath-mcp (v0.0.102)
which depends on pysignalr (v1.3.0)
which depends on msgpack
Environment:
- UiPath Automation Cloud Community
- UiPath Academy: Agentic Automation Developer Associate
- Module: MXP - Use MCP server as a tool
- MCP package:
mcpfinanceserver.0.0.2.nupkg - MCP Server type: Coded
It appears that the current runtime is using Python 3.14.5, and msgpack==1.1.1 is attempting to compile from source. The managed environment does not appear to have the required compiler (cc) available.
I have not been able to proceed with the lab because the MCP Server cannot complete creation.
Could someone confirm if:
- There is an updated version of the
mcpfinanceserverpackage compatible with the current Automation Cloud runtime? - The Academy lab instructions/package need updating?
- There is a recommended workaround for completing this exercise?
Thank you.
