MCP Agent
The MCP Agent connects PrimePilot to external systems through MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. It discovers tools exposed by the server and uses them during conversations to fetch live data or perform actions.
It is available on Starter plans; Pro plans add additional configuration options.
What it does
- Connects to configured MCP servers (stdio or remote)
- Discovers available tools and resources automatically
- Invokes tools when the user's request requires external data or actions
- Integrates tool results into natural language replies
When to use it
Use an MCP Agent when your assistant must talk to SaaS products, internal APIs, or other systems that publish an MCP server. Examples include project management, billing, accounting, and custom internal tools.
Configuration
Configure from the agent instance in the dashboard:
- MCP server connection: enable the integration and select or define how to reach the server.
- Connection behavior: auto-connect, reconnect, and timeout settings.
- LLM settings: model and system prompt that instruct the agent when and how to use tools.
Pro plans expose more granular MCP configuration. See MCP Agents for an overview.
Typical usage
Add an MCP Agent to a squad alongside RAG or other agents so users get both documented answers and live system data. MCP agents are especially powerful in squads with automatic agent switching.
