Release Notes

This update introduces support for MCP Server connections in Next-Gen Assistants, along with other features and bug fixes.

Assistants

New Features

  • Use remote MCP servers with Next-Gen Assistants to give models new capabilities. In addition to tools you make available to the model with built in tools, you can give models new capabilities using remote MCP servers. These tools give the model the ability to connect to and control external services when needed to respond to a user's message. Remote MCP servers can be any server on the public Internet that implements a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
  • Configure multiple MCP servers per assistant in Assistant settings.
  • Quickly enable or disable individual MCP servers without removing their configuration in Assistant settings.
  • PingPong supports remote MCP servers that use no authentication, authentication with an OAuth access token or API key token you provide, or any number of custom headers. Access tokens need to be generated outside of PingPong and provided when setting up a remote MCP server in Assistant settings.
  • Control whether members can see MCP Server call details in conversations with the "Hide MCP Server call details from Members" option in Assistant settings (enabled by default). In some cases, this material may contain sensitive information or insights about the assistant's internal logic or prompt. When checked, members will see when the assistant makes calls to an MCP Server, including which tools are called, but will not see detailed payloads or responses. Moderators can always review MCP Server call details. This setting will only apply to Chat Mode models with the MCP Server tool enabled.

Threads
