The secrets of the MCP servers a Dot declares (section 7) travel the same

memory by `McpSecrets` (`nanobot/dots/secrets.py`) and masked in the

command's secret is an environment variable of its process, which the relay

`MCP_SECRET_RULE` in `packages/shared`, applied by the host where it enters and

Claude Code (`.mcp.json`), Codex (`[mcp_servers]`) and nanobot declare them: a
`command` with its `args` and `env`, or a `url` with its `headers`. Only the
person declares one; the Dot can install the program a server needs (section
4.2), as it installs anything, but it cannot add a server to its own config,
which would let it give itself tools. A server's name is the prefix of its tools
as the model sees them, `mcp_<server>_<tool>` (nanobot's naming), so it holds no
`_` and the engine reads the server back from a tool's name. `secrets` names the
environment variables (of a command) or headers (of a URL) whose values are
secrets: they are set apart from the config, write-only (section 9.6), never in
it, so the config can be shown, exported and edited as YAML. A secret named twice,
or named as a value the entry also writes, is refused.
Each declared server has a permission, `mcp.<server>`, that covers all of its
tools: what a server's tool does is that server's to say, which the host cannot
know, so a server is one decision, as it is in Claude Code's permission rules
(`mcp__<server>`), and it asks by default. Its risk is `high`, as running
commands is. A permission of a server the config does not declare is refused,
and `resolvePermission` denies it. `MCP_SERVER_NAME_PATTERN` and
`MCP_TIMEOUT_BOUNDS` and `MCP_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_BOUNDS` (Codex's `tool_timeout_sec` and
`startup_timeout_sec`) are in `packages/shared`; the guest's `protocol.py` keeps a

the prompt, the settings): the database keeps a config as `jsonb`, which does

shown to the model and not stored (section 6).
The tools of the MCP servers the person declares (`mcp_servers`, section 7)
are not rows of the table: which they are is each server's to say, at run time.
`nanobot/dots/mcp_servers.py` keeps one nanobot `MCPProvider` per declared
server, on a registry of its own, as the browser has one per identity, so
spawning, `initialize`, `tools/list`, the per-call timeout (`timeout_s`) and
the reconnect are the client's. What is the Dot's:
- where it runs. A `command` is started through `dot-agentd relay`, as the
user `dot`, in its home, like every program of the model: it reads and writes
what the Dot's commands can, and nothing of the engine's. Its `env` is passed
with `--env`, its secrets with `--env-from` (their names only, the values in
the relay's own environment), so no secret is on a command line. A `url` is
reached from the engine, its secrets as headers.
- when. A server is started when it is declared, and again when a config or a
secret changes its entry (that server only). The next turn waits for the
servers being started, each for at most its `startup_timeout_s` (60 s by
default: a first start through `uvx` or `npx` downloads the server). One that
failed (its program is not installed yet, it exited) is started again when the
next turn starts, so a server whose program the Dot installs works from the
next message. One that did not start in time, or whose secret is not set, is
not started again until its entry or its secrets change, so it never holds up
every turn.
- why it is not connected. The client says why a connection failed, and a
command's standard error is drained into a pipe of the engine, of which the
last 2000 characters are kept: the error a person and the model read is what
the server wrote (`npx: not found`, `the API key is missing`), with the
server's secrets masked.
- what the model gets. Each tool of a connected server, under the client's name
`mcp_<server>_<tool>`, is offered while the permission `mcp.<server>` is
`allow` or `ask`, and the gate decides each call by it (section 8.4). The
system prompt has a section for those servers: each one's instructions (what
it said at `initialize`, cut at 2048 characters as Claude Code cuts them), or
why it is not connected and that it is started again at the next turn. An
image a tool answers with is shown to the model as the browser's are. A call
shows no target in `tool.called`, and an approval shows all its arguments.
`GET /tools` lists those tools after the table's, each under its server's
permission, and every declared server with its state: `connecting`,
`connected` (with how many tools) or `failed` (with why).

registry as `McpServerTool`s, which call the client's wrapper of the
server's own registry at call time, and the permission table maps a tool
named `mcp_<server>_<tool>` to `mcp.<server>` (`tool_permission`). The
projection keeps the servers whose permission is not `deny`
(`EngineSettings.mcp_servers`); a turn first awaits `McpServers.ready()`,
then offers the table's tools and those servers' tools, and the prompt

A Dot uses the tools of any MCP server you declare, the way Claude Code and
Codex do: in its settings (MCP servers), or in its YAML.
```yaml

args: [mcp-server-time]
search:
url: https://search.example/mcp
secrets: [Authorization] # its value is set apart, never in the YAML
```
A server's tools are named `mcp_<server>_<tool>`, and one permission covers
them all, `mcp.<server>`, which asks you before each call until you allow it
(or "Always allow" an approval). A secret, an API key or a token, is set in the
settings next to its server or with
`invisible-dots secret mcp --dot <dot> <server> <NAME>` (asked for like the
key; `--clear` removes it): it reaches the server as an environment variable or
a header, never through the YAML or a command line.
Only you add a server. The Dot can install the program one needs: `uvx` is
there; for `npx`, it runs `sudo dot-install nodejs npm`. A server that cannot
start says why, in its settings, in `invisible-dots mcp <dot>` and to the Dot
itself, and it is started again when the Dot's next message or task begins.

# MCP servers a person declares
Until October 2026 a Dot had one MCP server, its browser's, and no way to use
another. The question was whether a Dot could install an application and then
use its MCP server, and what the standard way to let it do so is.
## How other hosts do it
| Host | Who declares a server | Where it is declared | Permission | Secrets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | the person (`claude mcp add`, `.mcp.json`) | settings files | rules per server or tool (`mcp__<server>`), asks by default | `env` in the file, or the shell's |
| Codex | the person | `[mcp_servers]` in `config.toml`, with `startup_timeout_sec` and `tool_timeout_sec` | approval policy | `env` in the file |
| nanobot (the engine's base) | the person | its config's `mcpServers` | none | `env` in the file |
All three have the person declare a server, offer its tools as
`<prefix><server><separator><tool>`, and start it as a child process of the
host or reach it by URL.
## What a Dot does
- **The person declares a server; the Dot installs what it needs.** A server is
a `command` (with `args` and `env`) or a `url` (with `headers`), in the Dot's
settings or YAML. The Dot cannot add one to its own config, which would let
it give itself tools; it can install a server's program, as it installs
anything.
- **One permission per server**, `mcp.<server>`, asked by default and weighed
as high a risk as running commands: what a server's tools do is the server's
to say.
- **It runs as the Dot's user.** A command is started through `dot-agentd
relay`, as `dot`, in its home, like every program of the model.
- **Secrets are set apart** from the config, write-only, as Claude Code and
Codex do not do: `secrets: [NAME]` in the entry, the value set in the
settings or with `invisible-dots secret mcp`. It reaches the server as an
environment variable through the relay's own environment, never a command
line, or as a header; it is masked in the Dot's conversation files.
- **It starts when declared, and again when it can.** A server that failed
(its program missing, it exited) is started again when the next message or
task begins, and the turn waits for it, up to `startup_timeout_s` (60 s by
default, Codex's `startup_timeout_sec`). One that timed out, or lacks a
secret, waits for its settings to change, so it never holds up every turn.
- **The model is told why.** The prompt carries each server's `initialize`
instructions, or why it is not connected, quoting what it wrote on its
standard error. The settings and `invisible-dots mcp` show the same.
## Measured
A live Dot (`z-ai/glm-5.3-flash`) was given two servers, `npx -y
@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything` on a computer with no Node.js, and
`uvx mcp-server-time`, then asked to use the first one's `echo` tool and the
second one's time in Tokyo.
| Task | What the Dot did | Calls | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Read why `everything` was not connected (`exec: "npx": executable file not found in $PATH`), ran `sudo dot-install npm`, checked `npx`, answered the time from `mcp_time_get_current_time`, and said the server would be started again at the next message | 4 | $0.0028 |
| 2 | `mcp_everything_echo`: `Echo: dots-mcp-ok` | 1 | $0.0013 |
The acceptance run on a real VM has a step for the same path (`uvx
mcp-server-time`: its tool asks, is approved always and runs as `dot`; a second
server waits for its secret, set through the command line), and the scan of
every log, row and disk file for the secret after it. It passes its 16 steps.
## Limits
- An HTTP server is reached with a header secret; its OAuth flow is not
supported (the engine's MCP client left OAuth out).
- The permission is per server, not per tool.
- A server's resources and prompts are offered as tools, as nanobot offers
them.

## What the MCP servers change: the servers a person declares
- agent/tools/mcp.py: a connection keeps what its server said at `initialize`
(`MCPProvider.instructions(name)`), which upstream's client discarded, so the Dot's prompt carries a
server's instructions as Claude Code and opencode carry them. `connect_mcp_servers(failures=...)` and
`MCPProvider.failure(name)` say in one line why a server did not connect (the innermost error of a
group, an unreachable URL, a cancelled connection); upstream's status reports were removed in the
second cut, and this is the one thing of them the Dot reads. `connect_mcp_servers(errlogs=...)` and
`MCPProvider(errlogs=...)` give a stdio server the file its standard error goes to, the engine's own
otherwise. The Dot's servers are `nanobot/dots/mcp_servers.py`'s (docs/architecture.md sections 7 and
8.3).

"""The MCP servers the person declares in the Dot's config (architecture sections 7 and 8.3).
The person declares a server as Claude Code, Codex and nanobot have their user declare one: a command, or a URL, with
the names of its secrets (`mcp_servers` of the config). The Dot can install the program a server needs, as it installs
anything; it cannot declare a server, which is the person's.
Each server is an `MCPProvider` of nanobot's client on a registry of its own, as the BrowserManager has one per browser
identity: the client spawns the server, initializes it, lists its tools and times out a call. What is this module's:
* Where a server runs. A stdio server is started through `dot-agentd relay` as the user `dot`, in its home, like every
program of the model, so it reads and writes what the Dot's commands can and nothing of the engine's. Its secrets
reach its environment through the relay's own, never the relay's command line (computer.py). An HTTP server is
reached from the engine, its secrets as headers.
* When. A config or a secret that changes a server's entry restarts that server alone. A server is started when it is
declared, and one that failed (its program is not installed yet, it exited) is started again when the next turn
starts; the turn waits for the servers being started, each at most its `startup_timeout_s`. One that did not start
within that, or whose secret is not set, is not started again until its entry or its secrets change: a turn does not
wait for it again and again.
* What the model gets. Each tool of a connected server, under the client's name `mcp_<server>_<tool>`, is offered
while the server's permission (`mcp.<server>`) is not denied, and the gate decides each call by it. The prompt
carries each such server's instructions, as an MCP host carries them, or why it is not connected. An image a tool
answers with is shown as the browser's are (images.py).

`picture` answers with an image, and `exit` ends the process, as a server that crashes. Its behavior at start is
steered by its environment, which the declared entry sets:
