MCP servers let Duckie discover and call tools exposed through the Model Context Protocol. Use MCP servers when your team already exposes useful actions through MCP and wants Duckie agents or the internal assistant to call those tools.Documentation Index

Connect an MCP Server
Enter server details
Add a name and the MCP server URL.Server URLs must use
http or https. Duckie blocks local, private, and internal network addresses before making server-side requests.Choose a transport
Use Auto-detect unless you know the server requires a specific transport.Streamable HTTP is the current MCP transport and the normal path for testing and discovery. SSE (Legacy) is available for older servers that still require it.
Configure authentication
Choose one of:
- None - No authentication
- Bearer Token - Sends an
Authorization: Bearer ...header - API Key - Sends a key in a header such as
X-API-Key - Custom Headers - Sends the JSON headers you provide
Test and discover tools
Click Test & Discover Tools to verify the connection and preview the tools returned by the MCP server.
Authentication
Credentials are encrypted before they are stored. When editing an MCP server, leave credential fields blank to keep the existing credentials. Enter new credential values only when you want to rotate them.Tool Discovery
Duckie discovers tools by connecting to the MCP server and running MCPtools/list.
Discovered tools inherit their parameters from the MCP input schema. In workflow Tool nodes, those schema fields appear as tool inputs.
Re-Sync Tools
Use Re-sync Tools when tools change on the MCP server. Re-syncing updates tool descriptions and input schemas. Tools that no longer appear in the server’stools/list response are disabled.
Use MCP Tools
After discovery, MCP tools can be enabled for customer-facing agents and for the internal assistant. In workflows, MCP tools appear in the MCP tab of the tool selector. In runbooks, reference MCP tools the same way you reference Duckie tools, app tools, and custom tools.Delete an MCP Server
Deleting an MCP server also deletes its discovered tools. Any runbook or workflow that references those tools will stop working.Related Pages
