MCP
Connect your Twent agent to external tools with MCP servers — local, remote-hosted, or authenticated.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for plugging extra tools into an AI agent. An MCP server can do anything from web search to GitHub management, and Twent speaks it natively.
Server types Twent accepts
Twent works with two kinds of MCP servers:
- streamable-http — servers hosted somewhere on the internet; Twent talks to them over the network
- STDIO — servers that run as a small program right on your phone (inside the built-in terminal)
Authentication: the three flavors
1. Browser-based login — some servers let you sign in through a browser flow, like a normal “Log in with…” button. GitHub’s MCP server, for example.
2. Auth token — others need you to paste a credential (an API key or access token) into that server’s configuration. The Apify server works this way.
3. No authentication — some remotely-hosted servers need nothing at all, like https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp. And some run entirely locally on your phone, like the built-in ddg-search server.
Discovering servers
You don’t have to hunt for configs yourself:
- Browse and search publicly-published MCP servers from the official MCP Registry — right inside the MCP section of Twent
- Your Twent agent can also install and run MCP servers on demand, if it thinks one would help with the task at hand
Managing servers
- Everything you’ve installed appears in the “My Servers” section of the MCP tab
- Servers can be enabled and disabled from the same tab
