@tanstack/ai-mcp

This skill covers the @tanstack/ai-mcp package. Read ../tanstack-ai-core-tool-calling/SKILL.md first — MCP tools flow into chat() the same way hand-written tools do.

When to use this package

Use @tanstack/ai-mcp when:

• A third-party MCP server exposes tools you want an agent or chat loop to call.
• You want to read MCP server resources (files, text, data) or prompts into a chat() message list.
• You want generated TypeScript types for an external MCP server's tool signatures (via the bundled generate CLI).
• You are running tool execution on the server side and want to connect to MCP servers with HTTP (Streamable HTTP or SSE) or stdio transports.

Do NOT use this package for browser/client-side code — MCP connections are server-side only.
