**💻📰 [OpenAI adds MCP support to Agents SDK](
https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)**
OpenAI has integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) support into its Agents SDK, offering a standardized method for connecting AI models to external data sources and tools. MCP, envisioned as a "USB-C port for AI," allows applications to provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs) in a uniform manner. Developers can now leverage the `MCPServerStdio` and `MCPServerSse` classes within the Agents SDK to connect to MCP servers, such as the official MCP filesystem server. When an Agent is run, the SDK will automatically call `list_tools()` on the connected MCP servers, making the LLM aware of available tools. The primary goal is to broaden the range of tools and contexts available to Agents, enhancing their capabilities through a standardized protocol. The "how" is through integration with the Agents SDK and leveraging of the `list_tools()` function to make the LLM aware of the MCP server’s tools. The main takeaway is that Agents can now be more easily augmented with external knowledge and functionalities.
