Hi @steven0081! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

The most common cause for a plugin like "mcp_see_agent" not appearing in the tools tab or being usable in the agent (especially in Docker/self-hosted setups) is a missing or misconfigured environment variable. Make sure your .env or Docker Compose environment includes:

INNER_API_KEY_FOR_PLUGIN=QaHbTe77CtuXmsfyhR7+vRjI/+XbV1AaFy691iy+kGDv2Jvy0/eAh8Y1
PLUGIN_DIFY_INNER_API_URL=http://api:5001
PLUGIN_DIFY_INNER_API_KEY=QaHbTe77CtuXmsfyhR7+vRjI/+XbV1AaFy691iy+kGDv2Jvy0/eAh8Y1

Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 for internal URLs in Docker—use the service name (like api) or host.docker.internal if needed. After updating these, restart the plugin daemon container with:

docker restart docker-plugin_daemon-1

If the plugin still doesn't show up, check that the plugin manifest is complete and correctly formatted, and that your installation scope/permissions allow marketplace plugins. Sometimes clearing custom values in your Docker .env (like POSITION_TOOL_PINS, POSITION_TOOL_INCLUDES, etc.) can help if you have them set. If you still have trouble, check the plugin installation logs for errors or incomplete states.

For more details, see this issue and this troubleshooting guide.
