1Panel + fast-agent: Complete MCP Integration

1Panel is a MCP server that MCP server implementation that provides 1Panel interaction.

When integrated with fast-agent, you can:

• Monitor system status and dashboard information
• Create and manage websites on 1Panel
• Handle SSL certificates and HTTPS configuration

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up 1Panel in fast-agent, including configuration, examples, and troubleshooting.

What You'll Achieve

After completing this setup:

• 1Panel will be fully integrated and operational
• You can use 1Panel tools directly in fast-agent
• All 1Panel capabilities will be available for your workflows
• Access to 5 different tools

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• 1Panel access token for authentication
• 1Panel server address
• fast-agent installed and configured
• Compatible operating system (Node.js, Cross-platform, Edge Environments)

Installation

Step 1: Install 1Panel

Configuration

Step 2: Configure fast-agent

1. Open fast-agent settings
2. Navigate to MCP server configuration
3. Add 1Panel server with appropriate settings
4. Save and restart if needed

Examples

Once configured, you can use 1Panel in fast-agent:

Get System Overview

Check 1Panel server status and system information

Ask fast-agent: "Show me the dashboard information and system status"

Expected Result: Dashboard data including CPU, memory, disk usage, and running services

Create New Website

Set up a new website with domain configuration

Ask fast-agent: "Create a website for domain example.com with PHP support"

Expected Result: Website created with virtual host configuration and PHP environment

Install Database Server

Install and configure MySQL server

Ask fast-agent: "Install MySQL and create a database called myapp_db"

Expected Result: MySQL installed, database created, and connection details provided

SSL Certificate Setup

Generate and configure SSL certificate for website

Ask fast-agent: "Create an SSL certificate for my website example.com"

Expected Result: SSL certificate generated and configured for HTTPS access

Testing Your Setup

1. Launch fast-agent
2. Verify 1Panel is available in the tools list
3. Test basic 1Panel functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Authentication Failed

Symptoms: Access denied errors, Invalid token messages, Connection refused

Cause: Invalid or missing PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN

Solution:

• Verify PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN is set correctly
• Check token validity in 1Panel admin interface
• Ensure token has sufficient permissions

Connection to 1Panel Failed

Symptoms: Connection timeout, Server unreachable, Network errors

Cause: Invalid PANEL_HOST or 1Panel server not running

Solution:

• Verify PANEL_HOST URL is correct
• Check 1Panel server is running on specified port
• Test network connectivity to 1Panel server
• Ensure firewall allows connections

SSE Mode Not Working

Symptoms: SSE endpoint not responding, Transport errors

Cause: Incorrect SSE configuration or port conflicts

Solution:

• Verify -addr parameter is accessible
• Check port is not in use by another service
• Ensure SSE transport is specified correctly
• Test SSE endpoint with curl

Binary Not Found

Symptoms: Command not found, mcp-1panel: command not found

Cause: Binary not in PATH or not properly installed

Solution:

• Verify binary is in /usr/local/bin or system PATH
• Check file permissions (executable bit)
• Re-download and reinstall binary
• Use full path to binary if needed

Poor Performance

Symptoms: Slow startup, High memory usage, Slow tool execution

Cause: Suboptimal configuration or resource constraints

Solution:

• Tune concurrency and pool size settings
• Optimize MCP server performance
• Check system resources and limits
• Profile application for bottlenecks

Agent Crashes Under Load

Symptoms: Out of memory errors, Process crashes

Cause: Resource limits exceeded

Solution:

• Reduce concurrency limits
• Increase memory limits if possible
• Implement graceful degradation
• Monitor resource usage patterns

MCP Server Timeouts

Symptoms: Tool execution timeouts, Connection errors

Cause: Server overload or network issues

Solution:

• Increase timeout values
• Implement retry logic
• Scale MCP server infrastructure
• Use connection pooling and caching

1Panel not appearing in fast-agent

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check 1Panel installation
• Restart fast-agent
• Check logs for error messages
