AI Plugins Configuration

This guide explains how to configure AI plugins for the MCP module, enabling AI function call capabilities in your Drupal MCP server.

Prerequisites

Before configuring AI plugins, ensure you have:

  1. Installed and configured the MCP module as described in the Setup & Configure guide
  2. Installed the required Drupal AI modules:
Terminal window
# Install the required AI modules, version is important to be 1.1.x
ddev composer require 'drupal/ai:1.1.x-dev@dev'
ddev composer require 'drupal/ai_agents:1.1.x-dev@dev'


# Install an AI provider module (OpenAI example)
ddev composer require 'drupal/ai_provider_openai:1.1.x-dev@dev'


# Enable the MCP extra submodule
ddev drush en mcp_extra -y


# Enable the AI modules
ddev drush en ai ai_agents ai_agents_extra -y


# Enable the AI provider module
ddev drush en ai_provider_openai -y

Note: You can choose any AI provider module that’s compatible with the Drupal AI module. OpenAI is used as an example here.

Configuring AI and MCP Modules

After installing the required modules, you need to configure both the AI module and the MCP module:

  1. First, configure your AI provider (e.g., OpenAI) at /admin/config/ai/providers
  2. Set your configured provider as the default provider at /admin/config/ai/settings and save the configuration
  3. After the provider is configured, check that the MCP plugins AI Agent Calling and AI Function Calling are available and enabled at /admin/config/mcp
