Elsevier ScienceDirect + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Elsevier ScienceDirect MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Elsevier ScienceDirect tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.

Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?

Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
