Cody now supports MCP tools via its agentic context gathering, enabling automated tool use to gather and inject context directly into Cody's responses.

Users can configure one or more local MCP servers through their extension settings. When a user submits a query, Cody determines which tools to invoke, what parameters to pass, and automatically integrates the output into the response context. Please note that MCP will work through Cody's agentic context gathering feature, and not via @mentions.

Because MCP tools run locally and requires customers to explicitly opt in via a feature flag. Visit our docs to learn more.
