Provides an inline UI for checking MCP servers available to an agent session with additional functionality per MCP, such as listing and directly executing MCP tools with auto-generated input forms. Uses the most authoritative list per provider CLI and verifies actual session inclusion with live probes.

v0.1.3 Requires Paseo >=0.8.0

paseo-mcp-tools plugin

Provides an inline UI for checking MCP servers available to an agent session with additional functionality per MCP, such as listing and directly executing MCP tools with auto-generated input forms. Uses the most authoritative list per provider CLI and verifies actual session inclusion with live probes.

(Paseo is an agent orchestrator: AI coding agents run on paseo daemons, each managing workspaces, tools, and permissions.)

Built on paseo-plugin-helper, the shared Paseo plugin runtime.

What it does

  • Pill above the composer shows MCP n (live servers for that agent). Badge updates via mcp.list, shared between pill and modal.
  • Live discovery per-CLI via isolated providers/<id>.ts (opencodeopencode mcp list, claude~/.claude.json live, antigravity~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json, etc.) + Paseo-injected StoredAgentRecord.mcpServers. Groups by source.label, dedupes by name.
  • Paseo Built-in Host MCP: Automatically discovers Paseo's host daemon control plane (/mcp/agents?callerAgentId=...) as a first-class MCP server (Paseo (Builtin)), exposing all 60+ live tools (workspaces, browser automation, schedules, terminals, agent orchestration).
  • Detail & Live Health: Server tap reveals real-time status dots, latency, server instructions, and full tool declarations.
  • Interactive Tool Runner (User Execution): Users can execute any discovered MCP tool directly from the UI without prompting the agent. Features a dynamic schema-driven form with *REQUIRED validation, type coercion (boolean, number, object, array, union/nullable types), live tool execution via host RPC (mcp.call_tool), and output inspection with 1-tap clipboard copying.
  • Real-Time Tool Search: Server Detail view features a real-time search input filtering across tool names and descriptions, making servers with large command sets (like Paseo, Forgejo, Chrome DevTools) fast and easy to navigate.
  • Diagnostics: Full polymorphic probe checklist verifying paths, permissions, and agent records across hosts.

Supported Providers

Provider Probe Mechanism Status
Paseo (paseo) Built-in host daemon MCP control plane (~/.paseo/config.json + live daemon HTTP session) Fully tested & verified (60+ tools)
Antigravity (antigravity, antigravity-acp) Global ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json + ~/.antigravity/mcp_config.json Fully tested & verified
OpenCode (opencode) Live opencode mcp list daemon CLI command + config Fully tested & verified
Pi (pi) User canonical ~/.pi/.mcp.json / project overrides + heuristics Fully tested & verified
Claude (claude) User ~/.claude.json / project .claude.json heuristics Tested against real active configs (without live subscription session)
CodeX (codex) Global ~/.codex/config.toml / project .codex/config.toml Provided as-is (without guarantees)

Dropping in New Providers

Adding a new tool/CLI probe (e.g. Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Roo, Cline) is black-box and takes 2 simple steps:

  1. Create providers/<id>.ts declaring candidate config paths using discoverFromCandidates() (or live CLI RPC) with export default <id>Probe.
  2. Add a 1-line re-export to providers/catalog.ts: export { default as <id> } from "./<id>";.

See the complete step-by-step guide in the write-mcp-provider skill (.agents/skills/write-mcp-provider/SKILL.md). Run npm test to automatically verify the probe satisfies the contract.

Install & Updates

# from git (recommended)
paseo plugin add xpufx/paseo-mcp-tools

# update to latest release
paseo plugin update mcp-tools

# or from a local checkout (path-linked for development)
paseo plugin install "$PWD"

# reload daemon process after local edits
paseo plugin reload mcp-tools

pluginsEnabled: true required. Use paseo plugin logs mcp-tools for diagnostics and runtime logs. Failed reload stays failed (Paseo doesn't restore).
