MCP Servers

Smartloop supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing you to extend your assistant with external tools and data sources. Two types of MCP servers are supported: remote and local.

Built-in Fetch MCP

When you first install Smartloop, it comes with a built-in fetch MCP server out of the box. This server processes external links to enrich LLM output with real-world content — including web pages, articles, and YouTube transcripts.

You can learn more about the fetch MCP server at mcpservers.org.

Remote MCP Servers

Remote MCP servers are hosted externally and accessed over the network. To register a remote MCP server, use the /mcp add command from the TUI:

/mcp add https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Smartloop automatically detects the authentication method required by the remote server, including OAuth 2.0 flows and token-based authentication.

Local MCP Servers

Local MCP servers run on your machine and are managed by the uv package manager. To register a local MCP server:

/mcp add local yahoo-finance-mcp

Managing MCP Servers

You can manage your registered MCP servers using the following commands:

Command	Description
/mcp add <url>	Register a remote MCP server
/mcp add local <name> [args]	Register a local MCP server
/mcp list	List registered MCP servers
/mcp remove <#>	Remove an MCP server by index
