MCP Tools Integration
Clawith supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for extending agent capabilities with external tools.
What is MCP?
MCP is an open standard that allows AI agents to connect to external tool providers. Think of it as "USB for AI" — a universal way to plug in new capabilities.
Connecting MCP Servers
Via the Dashboard
- Go to your agent's Tools settings
- Click "Add MCP Server"
- Enter the server URL (SSE endpoint)
- The agent will automatically discover available tools
Via Conversation
Agents can also discover and install MCP tools through natural conversation:
"Search Smithery for a GitHub integration tool and install it."
"Connect to the MCP server at https://mcp.example.com/sse"
Supported Registries
| Registry | Description |
|---|---|
| Smithery | Community-driven MCP tool marketplace |
| ModelScope | Alibaba's AI model and tool platform |
| Custom | Your own MCP-compatible servers |
Runtime Installation
One of Clawith's unique features is runtime tool installation:
- Agents can browse tool registries during a conversation
- Install new tools without restarting the agent or platform
- Immediately use the newly installed tools in the same session
