MCP client integration for external tool servers #2

Description

Summary

Add Model Context Protocol (MCP) client capabilities to DocsClaw so agents can connect to external MCP tool servers.

Motivation

MCP provides a standardized way to expose tools to LLM agents. Rather than building every tool into DocsClaw, agents could connect to MCP servers for capabilities like database access, browser automation, or domain-specific APIs.

Design considerations

  • Support stdio transport for MCP servers bundled in the same container image
  • Support SSE/streamable HTTP transport for remote MCP servers
  • MCP server configuration via agent-config.yaml
  • Tool definitions from MCP servers should integrate with the existing tool registry

Related

  • See #N (specialized Dockerfiles) — some flavors will bundle MCP servers invoked via stdio
  • Evaluate whether Playwright MCP server is preferable to CLI-based web tools for interactive browsing
