TOOLS

Connectors and tools. Not feature bullets.

Backend tools run in sveda-server. Frontend tools run in the browser. Host MCP is an HTTP server you pass when minting the embed token.

The problem

Tooling usually means a custom MCP client, a browser callback bus, and a workspace indexer that never share a catalog. Each server is headers and a session you maintain. The agent should list tools from three layers without a new control plane.

A client per MCP server

Hand-rolled transports, auth, and tool lists. Host MCP on Sveda is an HTTP URL plus token on the embed handshake — http or https, Bearer outbound.

Frontend tools on a side bus

Confirm dialogs and in-page actions never join the model loop. SvedaToolRegistry.register puts them on the same turn as backend tools.

Repo blind agents

Without an index, “read the file” is a prompt hack. Builtin search_code and read_code_file run when a workspace index is attached to the runtime.

How Sveda does it

Backend tools execute in sveda-server. Frontend tools execute in the host via the registry on SvedaClient. Host MCP is listed when you pass host_mcp_url and host_mcp_token together while minting the embed token.

Builtins on the runtime

Four agent tools. They appear in the catalog when the runtime has the matching capability — index, spawn, deferred discovery.

  • search_code
  • read_code_file
  • spawn_tasks
  • search_agent_tools

Frontend on the client

Register handlers before send. A tool.call with target frontend runs in the browser, then the stream continues.

  • SvedaToolRegistry.register
  • name, description, parameters, handler
  • target: frontend on the event

Host MCP on the token

Not a second JS MCP client. URL and token are stored per visitor_id. Outbound calls use Bearer. Schemes are http and https.

  • host_mcp_url and host_mcp_token together
  • POST /sveda/embed/token
  • Bearer on outbound MCP

CATALOG

  • search_code backend
  • SvedaToolRegistry frontend
  • host MCP http

URL and token travel together.

If you send host_mcp_url without host_mcp_token, or the reverse, the mint rejects. Both are required together. The runtime lists tools over HTTP and executes them during the turn with Authorization: Bearer on the outbound request.

search_agent_tools discovers deferred MCP tools. spawn_tasks fans parallel work on the same SSE pipe via tool.progress. search_code ranks the workspace index; read_code_file pages a file the runtime already indexed. None of this is a Vue plugin.

Rules live in the tools docs. The host MCP and code agent solutions show the two common attach paths.

embed-token.json POST
POST /sveda/embed/token
x-sveda-host-key: …

{
  "visitor_id": "visitor-1",
  "host_mcp_url": "https://host.example/mcp",
  "host_mcp_token": "…"
}
