MCP
MCP configures external Model Context Protocol servers so agents can call more capabilities than the built-in tool surface provides.
Open MCP when
- built-in tools and ordinary skills are not enough
- agents need external protocol-backed services
- you need scoped server configuration at workspace or user level
Current surface
stdio,http,sse, andwsserver configuration- scope, env var, header, and argument management
- connection testing and status tracking
Works closely with
- Agents for actual tool consumption
- Chat for task execution
- Settings for shared runtime assumptions and safety
