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 directly. These tools run remotely in the Space, eliminating the need for local code downloads while enabling users to publish and share their own tools. The update includes built-in tools for robot functions while expanding possibilities for external integrations like web searches or data lookups.
Reachy Mini's conversation app can now use external tools hosted in public Hugging Face Spaces and accessed via the MCP protocol, allowing users to expand the robot's abilities—such as checking weather or searching the web—without editing the app's code. The tools run remotely in their Spaces rather than downloading to a user's machine, and developers can publish their own tools for others to use. This adds a new remote category alongside the robot's existing built-in and custom local tools, which are controlled through profiles that determine what capabilities are active.
