Remote MCP Server Support
We're excited to announce that we now support Remote MCP Servers. Now, at the agent level, you can connect one or more Remote MCP Servers to seamlessly gain access to ready-made tools from third-party providers. This opens all sorts of doors for increasing the capabilities of your Agents who can use those tools to take action outside of the NinjaCat platform- as long as the desired provider supports a Remote MCP Server with the tools that you're looking for (there are other requirements of note in the below listed documentation).
Our Agents should leverage data from an assigned Dataset in your Data Cloud where applicable. If the Agent needs more capabilities in order to achieve its objective, take a look at the list of premade Tools available to you in the Agent Builder (such as web scraping, web research and image generation). If the Agent needs other capabilities with third party providers outside of NinjaCat, then see if that provider supports a Remote MCP Server with a set of tools (ex. create and update records in my CRM or send my boss a message including the analysis). If not, then lean on Agent Builder Bob to build out a Custom Action to do exactly what you need it to do.

Excited to hear what use cases you have for MCP Servers! Please let your Solutions Engineer or CSM know if you have questions.
