The issue is with transport architecture. The --transport stdio mode is for headless/server operation and does not start an HTTP server, so the dashboard cannot connect to fetch data.

Root cause analysis:

• --transport stdio: Headless mode for direct MCP client connections via stdin/stdout (no HTTP endpoints, no dashboard)
• --transport sse: Full-featured mode with HTTP server, dashboard API endpoints, and MCP over SSE

The problem: You're specifying --port 8452 with --transport stdio, but stdio mode is headless and doesn't start any HTTP server on that port.

Solutions:

Option 1: Use SSE transport for dashboard connectivity

uv run -m agent_mcp.cli --transport sse --port 8452 --project-dir /home/hemang/Documents/GitHub/AgentiXCyber_internal_test

Option 2: Run both modes simultaneously (if you need both MCP client + dashboard)

# Terminal 1: Full-featured mode with dashboard
uv run -m agent_mcp.cli --transport sse --port 8452 --project-dir /home/hemang/Documents/GitHub/AgentiXCyber_internal_test

# Terminal 2: Headless MCP mode (if needed separately)
uv run -m agent_mcp.cli --transport stdio --project-dir /home/hemang/Documents/GitHub/AgentiXCyber_internal_test

Updated Claude Desktop config for SSE:

"agent-mcp": {
  "command": "uv",
  "args": ["run", "-m", "agent_mcp.cli", "--transport", "sse", "--port", "8452", "--project-dir", "/home/hemang/Documents/GitHub/AgentiXCyber_internal_test"],
  "env": {
    "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-key"
  }
}

The dashboard frontend expects HTTP endpoints like /api/status, /api/all-data which only exist in full-featured SSE mode, not in headless stdio mode.
