Hey, I would like to add an MCP server (connected to Airtable). I don’t see any available tools — how can I add a new one?

The feature is under a flag. See this thread: https://dustcommunity.slack.com/archives/C07FXL42MT2/p1744956628662709?thread_ts=1744951165.314819&cid=C07FXL42MT2. Sébastien Flory can probably give you access.

Hi Sébastien Flory: could you give an access to this (fantastic) feature. We are building an agent based on data from airtable

David Ebbo I was just watching your video to know more about how to add mcp servers though you are using a dust app to connect to a local mcp bridge which is very interesting. I think I have been given access to the beta after request but can't figure out how exactly to connect an existing server (smithery hosted) to dust it always gives a failed to sync from the get go. don't know if the end point is incompatible or something else.

YoiHito If you have the feature flag, look under Knowledge / Tools / Add Tool / Add MCP Server

David Ebbo Sébastien Flory that's exactly what I did and I noticed through docs that it's expecting the url for an http connexion without credentials (in my understanding), I pasted the base url tryed for example : https://server.smithery.ai/@smithery/toolbox/mcp https://server.smithery.ai/@smithery/toolbox but it always fails to sync and I don't have the credentials interface that is supposed to come after. Tried with credentials (in the URL) and it fails as well.

Sébastien Flory is passing auth headers supported? Though I would think if you had query string creds, it should just work with no special effort from Dust. I've actually used it successfully with query string creds.
