[Feature Request] MCP support #866

@statefb

Description

@statefb

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in both the backend agent tooling and the bot-creation UI so that end users can register and configure remote MCP servers without writing code. Specifically:

  • On the “Create Bot” screen, provide a JSON-based configuration section where users can add on tool use configurations (Agent)

Why the solution needed

  • Emerging open standard: MCP has rapidly gained industry adoption—Anthropic open-sourced it, OpenAI and Google Gemini have added support, and many platforms (Block, Apollo, Replit, Sourcegraph, etc.) are integrating it (blog post)

  • Interoperability: Without built-in MCP support, developers must fork code or write custom integrations every time a new MCP server appears.
