Agent Discover
Let your agent browse an MCP registry, install servers, and activate tools on demand instead of hard-coding every integration up front.
Overview

What problem does it solve?
Your MCP client config becomes a graveyard of servers you added once and cannot find or enable when the agent actually needs them.
Who is it for?
Builders who constantly add MCP integrations and want agent-driven discovery instead of hand-editing every server entry.
Skip if: Locked-down environments where dynamic installs are forbidden or teams that prefer a fixed, audited tool list only.
What do I get? / Deliverables
The agent can pull new MCP servers into the session when required, cutting static config and restart cycles.
- Agent-driven MCP discovery and installation workflow
- Activated tools per task without full client reconfiguration
- Faster experimentation with new MCP servers during build

How it compares
In-session MCP registry and installer, not a public skills directory site or a single-purpose API connector.
