Reachy Mini's conversation app now supports adding tools hosted on Hugging Face Spaces via MCP, allowing users to expand the robot's capabilities without modifying the app directly. These remote tools, such as weather checks or web searches, run in the cloud rather than locally on the user's machine. Users can also publish their own tools for others to utilize through the platform.
The Reachy Mini conversation app can now use external tools hosted in public Hugging Face Spaces and called via the Model Context Protocol, letting users add new robot abilities like weather checks or web search by linking a Space rather than editing the app's code. Because the tools run remotely in the Space itself, no code is downloaded locally, and developers can publish their own tools for others to use. Tools are controlled through profiles, where a tools.txt file determines which built-in, custom local, or remote capabilities the model is allowed to call.
