Hugging Face's Reachy Mini robot can now access external tools hosted in public Hugging Face Spaces and called via MCP, letting users add new abilities like weather checks or web searches without editing the app or downloading code locally. Tools run within the Spaces themselves and are activated through profiles, which use a tools.txt file to control which capabilities the robot can use. Users can also publish their own tools for others, expanding beyond the built-in local tools that primarily control the robot's physical movements and expressions.
