Run an MCP tool
Connect the agent to MCP servers and run the tools they offer.
Run an MCP tool
Lets the agent connect to an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and run any tool that server offers. It requires an MCP connection configured in the workspace.
Configuration
| Field | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server | Yes | The MCP connection configured in the workspace that points at the server you want |
How it works
Given a task involving the connected MCP server's tools, the agent:
- Asks the server which tools it offers.
- Picks the right one from the context.
- Runs it with the parameters the agent settles on.
- Returns the tool's answer.
Input parameters (at run time)
| Parameter | What it is |
|---|---|
| Tool name | The name of the tool to run on the MCP server |
| Input data | The tool's input parameters, following the schema the server defines |
Response
Whatever the tool you ran on the MCP server returns.
info
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external data sources and tools. Check the documentation of the MCP server you use to see which tools it offers and how to configure the connection.
