Trying to incorporate and MCP server as a tool in a conversational agent. Inside the MCP server (UiPath exposed Agentic Process) I can add the process but the tool is not being exposed when I try to add it as a tool for the agent. Anyone have ideas?

Could you please show how to turn it on ?
The MCP server itself will not appear as a tool. Only the actions exposed by the Agentic Process inside the MCP server can be used as tools.
Make sure the process is an Agentic Process, the entry points are marked as exposed actions, the process is published, and the MCP server is restarted so the tools are refreshed. Also verify the agent and MCP server are in the same tenant/environment and reopen the agent to refresh the tool list.
You say “Agentic Process”. Conversational agents will not work within a Maestro process from my understanding - correct me if I am wrong. The process must have a User Interface, mine done with apps, and an embedded link to the conversational agent that sits within UiPath Agents. The conversational agent does sit within the same folder structure and the MCP was created in the tools panel of the conversational agent. I did add an agentic process - from the same folder structure - as a tool within the MCP server and the server does show active. Unfortunately, the tools are not exposed. I did revert to another means of handling the use-case without the MCP server, however.
This is for a conversational agent and not autonomous. I suspect the functionality is not complete for conversational agents and MCP server use.

And thanks for the welcome. I’ve been a part of the community for a decade but do not find the need to ask many questions.

Glad that you went through the link and able to get some info.
Instead of using the MCP server, I used the components of the maestro process as tools themselves and revised my system prompt. The solution works. It would have been more efficient to expose the maestro process with autonomous agents in the MCP server and faster but this works well.
@vhvinodsai - I was already aware of the documentation. Sometimes we find scenarios that are not part of the documentation as seasoned developers - seems I did not realize I have more than one forum account - should have used my MVP account.
