# AI Agent Tools

Use the MESCIUS Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and the ActiveReports CLI Report Builder to work with ActiveReports.NET through an AI agent.

## Content

## Overview
Use the ActiveReports.NET MCP Server and Report Builder CLI to work with ActiveReports.NET through an AI agent.
ActiveReports.NET provides two tools for AI-assisted development:
| Tool | Purpose |
| ---- | ------- |
| [MCP Server](/activereportsnet/docs/developers/ai-agent-tools/mcp-server) | Connects an AI agent to official ActiveReports.NET product information and guidance. |
| [Report Builder CLI](/activereportsnet/docs/developers/ai-agent-tools/report-builder-cli) | Lets an AI agent create, modify, validate, and preview local Page and RDLX report files. |
The MCP Server helps the agent select the correct ActiveReports.NET features and implementation patterns. The Report Builder CLI gives the agent a structured way to work with `.rdlx` report files on your computer.

## Set Up the MCP Server
Use the main MESCIUS MCP documentation to connect the ActiveReports.NET MCP Server to your AI client:
1. Read the [MCP overview](https://developer.mescius.com/mcp/docs/overview){:target="_blank"} and get an MCP token.
2. Follow the [AI client configuration instructions](https://developer.mescius.com/mcp/docs/configure-your-ai-client){:target="_blank"}.
3. [Verify the MCP connection](https://developer.mescius.com/mcp/docs/configure-your-ai-client/verify-the-connection){:target="_blank"}.

Select the ActiveReports.NET endpoint and use an ActiveReports.NET MCP token. MCP tokens are product-specific.
