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`.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/adding-mcp-tools-to-reachy-mini:

> 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/
