summary: >-
  Automotive Grade Linux publishes a first-party MCP server - lava-mcp-toolkit - in its own GitHub
  organization (Apache-2.0, first release 0.1.0 on 2026-08-27). It exposes the AGL LAVA test
  infrastructure at https://lava.automotivelinux.org to agents as MCP tools, and is implemented four
  times over (Go, Python, Rust, C++), each in a `stdio` single-identity variant and a `server`
  multi-tenant HTTP variant. AGL does NOT operate a hosted/remote MCP endpoint - every variant is run
  by the consumer on their own machine or their own server, so an agent cannot reach AGL's LAVA
  through MCP without someone installing and running this first.
deployment:
  mode: local-stdio
  endpoint: null
  install: "git clone https://github.com/automotive-grade-linux/lava-mcp-toolkit && cd lava-mcp-toolkit/python/stdio && LAVA_URL=https://lava.automotivelinux.org LAVA_TOKEN=<token> python3 main.py"
  package: https://github.com/automotive-grade-linux/lava-mcp-toolkit
  auth: api-key
  verified: searched
  note: >-
    `mode: local-stdio` rather than `both`. The repo's `server` variant is an HTTP MCP server
    (`POST /mcp` with `Authorization: Bearer <mcp_token>`, `GET /healthz`), but it is software the
    consumer deploys themselves - AGL publishes no hosted URL for it, and the README says to put
    TLS termination in front because the server speaks plain HTTP only. No vendor-operated remote
    endpoint exists, so nothing here can be POSTed to today.

  credential_handling: >-
    The LAVA token is never placed in the model's context. stdio variants read LAVA_TOKEN from the
    process environment; server variants map an MCP bearer token to a LAVA identity server-side via
    users.json, exchanging it at call time.
