How to extend your chat bot with plugins, MCP and a code sandbox with Astr Bot

Install plugins with one click and connect MCP tools, with code running in the agent sandbox.

Short answer: Install and run Astr Bot; then Browse the plugin marketplace in the WebUI and install what you need; add MCP servers for your internal tools. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who wants the bot to do real tasks such as search, run code or call internal tools.

The problemChat bots that only talk cannot take actions, and letting them run code is risky.

The outcomeA bot with plugins and MCP tools whose code and shell calls run isolated in the agent sandbox.

What you need first

  • uv for the one-click install (or Docker)
  • Python 3.12 via uv
  • An LLM provider and the bot credentials for each messaging platform you connect

Steps

  1. Install and run Astr Bot
  2. Browse the plugin marketplace in the WebUI and install what you need
  3. Add MCP servers for your internal tools
  4. Enable the Agent Sandbox so code and shell calls run isolated
  5. Test from the Web ChatUI, which has the sandbox and web search built in

Prompt for your agent

In AstrBotDevs/AstrBot, install plugins for <needs>, add the MCP server for <tool>, enable the agent sandbox, and test a task that runs code from the Web ChatUI.

Caveat.
