 "title": "Add an MCP server's tools to the WorkWit agent",
 "page_title": "How to add an MCP server's tools to the WorkWit agent with Work Wit AI Agent",
 "summary": "Point WorkWit at an MCP server through data/mcp.json so its tools join the agent's catalog.",
 "who": "A developer or IT admin who already runs an MCP server with tools the office team needs, such as an internal system, and wants the agent to use them.",
 "problem": "The agent can only use the tools it was given, so internal systems stay out of reach unless they are connected.",
 "outcome": "External tools from your MCP server appear in the unified capability catalog and can be called by the agent.",
 "steps": [
  "Deploy WorkWit and confirm the stack runs with `docker compose up -d --build`",
  "Create data/mcp.json in the repo with the connector settings for your MCP server, using streamable-http or stdio transport (inferred, check the README)",
  "Restart the backend with `docker compose up -d --build` so the connector loads (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open the Tool Library and confirm the external tools are listed",
  "Ask the agent to use one of those tools on a test task and check the result"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the WorkWit-AI-Agent repo at <repo-path>, add an MCP connector for <mcp-server-name> in data/mcp.json using the <transport> transport, then rebuild the stack. Expected output: the external tools listed in the Tool Library. Verify that a test agent task calls one of those tools and returns a result, and that data/mcp.json is not committed to git.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "2 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README does not show the format of data/mcp.json, so the connector fields must be taken from your MCP server's own documentation and the repo's code.",

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "A Linux server (Ubuntu 22.04 recommended) with Docker and the docker compose plugin",
  "Four OpenAI-compatible model endpoints with addresses and keys for chat, vision, embed, and rerank roles",
  "Git access to the repo"
