# MCP Tools: Give Your Agent Superpowers

> Connect external services to Myrm through MCP servers — databases, APIs, design tools, and more — to extend what your agent can do.

# MCP Tools

## Scenario

You want your agent to interact with external services — query a database, create Figma designs, manage GitHub issues, or access company APIs. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you plug in any compatible tool server without modifying the agent's core.

## Materials

* An MCP server URL or a locally installed MCP server (many are available as npm packages)
* The server's connection details (URL, authentication token if required)

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open MCP Settings">
    Go to **Settings → MCP Servers** in the WebUI. You'll see a list of connected servers and an **Add Server** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a Server">
    Click **Add Server** and fill in:

    * **Name**: A friendly label (e.g., "GitHub")
    * **Type**: SSE (remote) or Stdio (local process)
    * **URL or Command**: The server endpoint or launch command

    Click **Save**. Myrm connects to the server and discovers available tools.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Connection">
    After saving, the server status shows **Connected** with a list of discovered tools. Click any tool to see its description and parameters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use in Conversation">
    Start a new chat and ask the agent to use the tool:

    > "List my open GitHub issues from the myrm-agent repo"

    The agent selects the appropriate MCP tool, calls it, and presents the results.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Per-agent binding**: You can bind specific MCP servers to specific agents. A "Database Expert" agent might have access to your PostgreSQL MCP server, while a "Content Creator" agent connects to Figma. Configure this in **Agent Settings → MCP Servers**.
</Note>

## Deliverable

A connected MCP server whose tools are available to your agent in any conversation.

## Acceptance Criteria

* [ ] Server shows **Connected** status in Settings
* [ ] Tools are listed with correct descriptions
* [ ] Agent can successfully call the tool and return results
* [ ] Tool usage appears in the conversation with proper formatting
