MCP Tools

Domain: MCP & Integrations

Motivation

MCP tools are the callable capabilities an external server exposes to the agent. Each is registered under a stable, server-qualified name so session history and permission rules survive restarts and reloads. Two servers can both offer a tool named search and coexist under their own namespaces.

Concrete Example

From a github server, create_issue registers as mcp__github__create_issue; from a second web server, the same raw name stays mcp__web__search.

Analogy

Each is a labeled button on a remote, namespaced so two remotes never collide.
