When MCP is enabled, the build agent gains two additional tools.
Two tools, any MCP server

mcp_list

Lists all tools from all connected MCP servers.

mcp_call

Invokes a specific tool on a specific server.

Tool discovery

The agent discovers available tools at the start of each turn by calling mcp_list. It caches the tool list for the session — if you add a server mid-build, the agent will pick it up on the next turn.

Security

  • MCP servers run in the same network as the build agent
  • Server credentials are stored in .mana/mcp.json (never committed)
  • The agent only calls tools the user’s prompt implicitly or explicitly requests
  • mcp_call arguments are logged and visible in the turn transcript
