ai-assistant

This plugin backend was templated using the Backstage CLI. You should replace this text with a description of your plugin backend.

Installation

This plugin is installed via the @internal/plugin-ai-assistant-backend package. To install it to your backend package, run the following command:

# From your root directory
yarn --cwd packages/backend add @internal/plugin-ai-assistant-backend

Then add the plugin to your backend in packages/backend/src/index.ts:

const backend = createBackend();
// ...
backend.add(import('@internal/plugin-ai-assistant-backend'));

Development

This plugin backend can be started in a standalone mode from directly in this package with yarn start. It is a limited setup that is most convenient when developing the plugin backend itself.

If you want to run the entire project, including the frontend, run yarn start from the root directory.

Tool Configuration

You can control tool behavior for all users through backend config:

• aiAssistant.tools.core: tools that are always enabled and not user-toggleable.
• aiAssistant.tools.defaultEnabled: tools enabled by default for users who do not yet have saved user-tools settings.

Both settings accept entries with provider and name:

aiAssistant:
  tools:
    core:
      - provider: core
        name: search-knowledge-base
    defaultEnabled:
      - provider: core
        name: search-knowledge-base
      - provider: mcp server:foo
        name: foo_someTool

For MCP tools, use provider format mcp server:<server-name>.
