Summary
NLWeb's MCP server (POST /mcp) currently exposes only built-in tools (ask, list_sites, who). Extension tools defined in config/tools.xml (e.g. details, compare, ensemble, site-specific tools like cricket_stats and conversation_search) are not discoverable or callable via MCP.
AskAgent/python/webserver/mcp_wrapper.py contains a TODO to integrate router/tools.xml when ready.
Expected behavior
tools/list returns built-in MCP tools plus enabled tools.xml extension tools for the selected sitetools/call dispatches extension tools to their configured <handler> classes- Optional
site query parameter selects the <Site id="..."> block in tools.xml
- Unknown tools return JSON-RPC error
-32602; invalid JSON returns -32700
- Preserve existing
ask, list_sites, and who behavior
Context
Tool definitions live in config/tools.xml. Handler dispatch pattern exists in core/baseHandler.py and core/router.py. MCP infrastructure exists in webserver/mcp_wrapper.py and webserver/routes/mcp.py.
