+# TheMCPCompany: Creating General-purpose Agents with Task-specific Tools
+
+TheMCPCompany is a benchmark for evaluating tool-calling agents on tasks that involve interacting with various real-world services. It uses the REST APIs of these services to create MCP servers, which include over 18,000 tools, and provides manually annotated ground-truth tools for each task. The benchmark aims to challenge current models in navigating tens of thousands of tools and combining them in non-trivial ways to solve complex problems.

+## Sample Usage
+
+Follow these steps to run the agent:
+
+- Set up the environment that the agent interacts with:
+  - For TheAgentCompany tasks, follow the official instructions from [here](https://github.com/TheAgentCompany/TheAgentCompany) to run the docker containers.
+  - For Azure tasks, follow [these instructions](./azure_tasks/README.md) to create an Azure account and a service principle.
+- Run the MCP servers. Follow [these instructions](./mcp_servers/README.md) to run the MCP servers. _Not needed for the agent with the browser tool_.
+- Follow [these instructions](./OpenHands/README.md) to set up OpenHands and run the evaluations.
