/agents/mcp-connections).
Figure: Create and assign MCP servers to agents.
- Click Create connection.
- Enter name, transport (SSE or Streamable HTTP), endpoint URL, and authentication.
- Assign the connection to an Edge Agent.
- Enable discovered tools selectively per connection.

Tips
- Pilot MCP tools in a non-production tenant first.
- Disable unused tools to reduce planner surface area.
- Coordinate with security on outbound URLs from the Edge Agent network.
