Extending
MCP servers
Plug an existing MCP tool server into the agent's toolbox.
A capability that already exists as an MCP server, a Jira bridge, an internal API gateway, doesn't need rebuilding as a custom tool. Register it; its tools join the agent's toolbox.
Add a server
- Open Utils → MCP Servers.
- Click Add MCP server.
- Enter Name, URL (SSE or HTTP), and optional Headers, one per
line, e.g.
Authorization: Bearer ${MCP_TOKEN}.
This writes utils/mcp.json in the project, the whole team and the
CLI in CI get the same server list:
{
"servers": {
"issue-tracker": {
"url": "https://mcp.example.com/sse",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${TRACKER_TOKEN}" }
}
}
}${VAR} values resolve at run start, from the project's secrets first and the environment second, the token never
lands in the file.
Servers connect when a run starts. An unreachable server is retried once, then the run continues without it, with a warning in the log, an unavailable helper doesn't fail the suite, and the warning explains any missing tool.
