Tools for arbitrary MCPs

[Fosowl]

This task is about integration of a special MCP agent that could find and use arbitrary MCPs.

The MCP agent would be optional.

Looks forward to this feature and MCP Server would be the first-class tool in agentic-seek.

1. The Remote Server Approach: The Authentication Wall The Problem: In practice, my analysis showed that all the useful servers we tested are protected. They respond with 401 Unauthorized because they require an API key (Bearer Token) to function. The Economic Constraint: No one hosts powerful services for free. To obtain these API keys (for Exa, Browserbase, etc.), the agent's operator must create an account for each service, which often involves subscription costs. The Agent's Challenge: An autonomous agent must therefore possess a secure "keyring" and be able to know which key to use for which service. This is a complex credential management challenge.
2. The Local Installation Approach: Maximum Control, High Complexity The Promise: To bypass third-party dependencies, the agent could learn to install and execute the tools itself (as is the case for "remote": false servers). The Problem: This task is extremely complex. The agent must act like a DevOps engineer: cloning repositories, building Docker containers, managing dependencies, and handling network configurations. To create a truly autonomous and adaptable agent,the best strategy, in the end, to specialize it in installing and consuming tools that it manages itself locally?
