Adding MCP Tools to Reachy Mini
Capability change
Hugging Face announced that Reachy Mini's conversation app can now use remote tools hosted in public Hugging Face Spaces, called over MCP.
This adds a third type of tool alongside built-in and custom local tools, allowing capabilities like weather and web search to be published, shared, and updated independently from the robot app itself.
The feature is accessible via a new command-line interface (`reachy-mini-conversation-app tool-spaces add`) and works by discovering remote tools and enabling them per profile through `tools.txt`.
From the source
Remote tools add a third kind, alongside the built-in and custom local tools you already have, for capabilities that are easier to publish, share, and update on their own: built-in robot tools stay local and trusted, shareable remote tools can live in public Hugging Face Spaces, you can still use custom one-off tools from external_tools/
