MCP Tools
The MCP Tools component connects to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and exposes the MCP server's functions as tools for SkillFlaw agents to use to respond to input.
In addition to publicly available MCP servers and your own custom-built MCP servers, you can connect SkillFlaw MCP servers, which allow your agent to use your SkillFlaw flows as tools. To do this, use the MCP Tools component's HTTP/SSE mode to connect to your SkillFlaw MCP server.
For more information, see Use SkillFlaw as an MCP client and Use SkillFlaw as an MCP server.
Tool mode is missing
If you're upgrading an existing flow and the MCP Tools component loses its Tool Mode option, see MCP Tools component loses Tool Mode option after upgrading flows.
