Report #1058

[architecture] I built tools for LLMs but agents cannot find or invoke them without custom client integrations

Expose your tools through a Model Context Protocol \(MCP\) server using stdio for local clients or SSE for remote clients, and register it in the MCP ecosystem. Provide clear tool names, descriptions, and input schemas so the model can select them correctly.

Journey Context:
Every new agent framework reinvents tool discovery. MCP is emerging as a cross-client standard: Claude Desktop, IDEs, and other hosts can connect to an MCP server and dynamically expose its tools to the model. The alternative is building bespoke integrations per client, which fragments your reach. The architecture mirrors OpenAPI for APIs but for model tools. Tradeoff: MCP is still young and tooling is evolving, but for agent discoverability it is the only standardized game in town.
