Add description and parameters to MCP server config#7
Merged
Conversation
MCP servers now support `description` and `parameters` fields in YAML. These are injected into the system prompt via McpContextBuilder so the LLM knows when and how to use each tool. The fields are YAML-only metadata and are not written to the --mcp-config JSON. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
