+### MCP Tools (Model Context Protocol)
+
+`open-multi-agent` can connect to any MCP server and expose its tools directly to agents.
+
+```typescript
+import { connectMCPTools } from '@jackchen_me/open-multi-agent/mcp'
+
+const { tools, disconnect } = await connectMCPTools({
+  command: 'npx',
+  args: ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-github'],
+  env: { GITHUB_TOKEN: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN },
+  namePrefix: 'github',
+})
+
+// Register each MCP tool in your ToolRegistry, then include their names in AgentConfig.tools
+// Don't forget cleanup when done
+await disconnect()
+```
+
+Notes:
+- `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` is an optional peer dependency, only needed when using MCP.
+- Current transport support is stdio.
+- MCP input validation is delegated to the MCP server (`inputSchema` is `z.any()`).
