Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support

RecurseChat supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for advanced interoperability with LLMs, tools, and other AI applications. MCP enables richer context sharing, tool usage, and resource management between clients and servers.

Note: MCP support in RecurseChat is currently in beta. Features and compatibility may change as the protocol evolves.

This demo shows how to use deepwiki.com as a MCP server. Add MCP `https://mcp.deepwiki.com/sse` server as an SSE endpoint.

What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that enables AI clients (like chat apps) to interact with external tools and resources through standardized server interfaces. It allows AI models to perform actions like querying databases, accessing files, and calling APIs in a secure, controlled way. The protocol handles exchanging context, resources, and tool calls between clients and servers.

Learn more at the official MCP documentation.
