MCP Client Module

Connects FRIDAY to any MCP-compatible tool server. Once connected, the server's tools appear alongside FRIDAY's native capabilities in the embedding router.

Setup

1. Install the MCP library (optional but recommended):

   pip install mcp
   

2. Add server entries to config/mcp_servers.yaml:

   servers:
     - name: github
       command: ["gh", "extension", "exec", "mcp-server"]
       description: "GitHub tools"
       enabled: true
   

3. Restart FRIDAY — tools are registered at startup.

Examples

Friday, list mcp servers
Friday, list my open GitHub issues          # after connecting GitHub MCP server
Friday, create a PR for my current branch   # after connecting GitHub MCP server

Supported Connection Modes

Mode	Config key	Description
stdio	command	Local subprocess (JSON-RPC stdio)
HTTP/SSE	url	Remote HTTP server (planned)

Tool naming

MCP tools are registered as mcp_{server_name}_{tool_name} (e.g. mcp_github_list_issues). Use natural language — the embedding router will match your query to the right tool.
