Adding MCP Tools to Reachy Mini

Reachy Mini, a conversational robot application, has integrated a new feature allowing it to utilize tools hosted on public Hugging Face Spaces via the MCP protocol, expanding its capabilities without requiring direct code modifications. This enhancement enables the robot to perform tasks such as checking the weather or conducting web searches by simply adding a tool from the Hub with a single command, which runs remotely without downloading on the local machine. Built-in tools remain local and focus on the robot’s physical interactions, whereas remote tools, such as the newly introduced weather and search tools, can be added and enabled in specific profiles for enhanced functionality. These profiles control tool usage, with instructions (prompts) guiding the model on how to employ them efficiently during interactions. While local tools remain crucial for operations tied to the robot's hardware, remote tools offer a flexible and shareable solution for non-physical tasks, encouraging innovation and collaboration within the community.
