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​

FieldRequiredWhat it is
MCP serverYesThe 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:

  1. Asks the server which tools it offers.
  2. Picks the right one from the context.
  3. Runs it with the parameters the agent settles on.
  4. Returns the tool's answer.

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.
