Agent Lifecycle & Workflow Design

Overview

Every MCP-powered Agent in MindCore follows a clear lifecycle—from initial design to real-time deployment and evolution. Understanding this lifecycle helps you build, monitor, and improve agents with purpose and precision.


🛠️ 1. Compose (Design Your Agent)

Start by defining the agent’s purpose:

  • What task will it perform?

  • What context does it need?

  • What MCP modules will it depend on?

Using either the No-Code Builder or raw config files, compose the agent using:

  • MCP Modules (data sources, analytics, web scrapers)

  • LLM (for logic, interpretation, summarization)

  • Triggers & Conditions (e.g., time-based, threshold-based)

  • Actions (e.g., send alert, call webhook, store output)


🧩 2. Harmonize (Test & Calibrate)

Before going live:

  • Run test executions

  • Validate inputs/outputs

  • Simulate trigger scenarios

  • Review AI reasoning and output structure

You can also A/B test different MCP module combinations and logic flows.


🚀 3. Perform (Deploy to Network)

When ready:

  • Deploy the agent on the decentralized MindCore runtime

  • Choose execution type:

    • Manual: User-triggered

    • Scheduled: Recurring (e.g., every 10 min)

    • Event-Driven: React to live data or MCP outputs

Monitor agent performance via logs, output history, and module call stats.


🔁 4. Iterate (Refine & Upgrade)

Post-deployment, agents can be:

  • Updated: Swap or reconfigure modules, logic, or LLMs

  • Versioned: Publish upgrades while preserving old versions

  • Cloned: Used as templates for new agents

Track performance, usage, and earnings over time to improve logic and utility.


Best Practices

  • Keep agents narrow and focused: 1 task = 1 agent

  • Reuse tested MCP modules

  • Monitor logic regularly based on market or data shifts

  • Version early, version often


What’s Next?

Now that you understand how agents live and evolve, let’s explore how governance and future upgrades will shape the protocol.
