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.
