Plug in any tool

The Model Context Protocol lets you connect external tools to Cogitator. GitHub, databases, file systems, search engines. Add a tool, and the agent discovers what it can do and figures out when to use it. No coding required.

Your agent is smart but limited. It can't access your GitHub repos, query your database, or interact with tools that aren't built in. Every new capability requires a software update.

How it works

01

Add a server

Point Cogitator at a tool server. It could be a GitHub integration, a database connector, or anything that speaks the standard protocol. Configuration takes a few lines in the dashboard.

02

Automatic discovery

Once connected, Cogitator scans what tools the server provides. It reads their descriptions and learns when each one is appropriate to use. You don't need to map commands or write instructions.

03

Tools work in conversation

When you ask something that needs an external tool, the agent calls it. "Create an issue in our repo" triggers the GitHub tool. "Look up that customer" queries your database. No special commands needed.

Capabilities

Lazy startup

Servers only run when needed, so they don't consume resources when idle. The first request that needs a tool starts the server automatically.

Auto-reconnect

If a server crashes, the next request restarts it automatically. You don't need to monitor processes or restart things manually.

Dashboard management

Add, remove, start, stop, and test servers from the web interface. See which tools each server provides and whether it's currently running.

Compatible format

Uses the same configuration format as other AI tools, so existing setups transfer over. If you've configured a tool server elsewhere, you can reuse that configuration here.

Use cases

Development workflows GitHub issues, pull requests, and code search without leaving the conversation. Ask "What's the status of issue 42?" and get an answer from your actual repo.
Data access Query databases or internal APIs during a conversation. The agent runs the lookup and gives you the result in plain language.
Custom tooling Connect proprietary internal tools that only your team uses. If your company has a custom system, you can make it available to the agent.
