Connect an MCP tool

What for: this guide extends the agent with tools from an MCP server.

Problems it solves: built-in tools are not enough and external MCP adds new operations without rewriting the graph.

Result: the MCP server is installed, the tool is added to the agent and canvas.

Step 1. Install an MCP server from the catalog

On the Flows home open MCP, go to the catalog, find the server and click Install. Its tools then become available in the editor.
