MCP and Tools

How Doka extends itself through MCP — connecting external tools and data sources to the agent.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a way to give an agent tools: access to files, databases, APIs, and external services through a single protocol.

Why this matters

On its own, a model can reason. Tools give it hands: read a file, query a database, hit an API. Through MCP, Doka connects tools like these in a standard way, without hand-rolled integrations for every case.

How to connect one

  1. Open Doka's settings → the "Tools" section.
  2. Add an MCP server (a local process or a remote endpoint).
  3. Doka picks up the available tools and starts using them in tasks.

Tools aren't magic, they're access. Give the agent exactly what a task needs, and nothing more.

Scenarios

Pairing a model with tools solves real cases — see use cases by profession. The basics are covered in the FAQ.
