Hugging Face's Reachy Mini conversation app now supports external tools hosted in public Hugging Face Spaces and called via MCP, allowing users to add new abilities like checking the weather or searching the web without editing the app's code. Because the tools run within the Spaces themselves, no code is downloaded locally, and users can also publish their own tools for others to use. Tools are managed through profiles, where a tools.txt file determines which capabilities the robot can access.
Reachy Mini's conversation app now supports tools hosted on Hugging Face Spaces via MCP, allowing users to add new capabilities like weather checks without modifying the app. These tools run remotely in the Space rather than locally, and users can also publish their own tools for others to use. The system works by enabling tools through profile settings, expanding functionality beyond the robot's built-in physical capabilities.
