Add MCP tool

Using Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool, you can securely connect to external MCP servers, and use their capabilities inside agents and nodes, without building additional REST wrappers or plugin logic.

1. Go to AI Agent Studio and open the Tools tab.
2. Add a new tool of type MCP.
3. Enter the name, code, and description for the tool, and select the appropriate family and product.
4. Add MCP server connection details.
   • Instance URL: Enter the endpoint URL of the MCP server your agent will connect to.
   • Transport Type: Select the communication method:
     • Server Sent Events (SSE): Enables real-time, one-way streaming of data from a server to a client.
     • StreamableHTTP: Enables servers to independently handle multiple client connections using the HTTP POST and GET requests.
   • Credential Type: Select the authentication method required by the MCP server.
5. Update the details and create the tool.

Your tool now appears in the Tools tab, and you can select it when creating agents, nodes, or agent teams.
