Add Full MCP (Model Context Protocol) Support for AI Agents

Introduce full support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Watson Orchestrate to enable standardized, context-aware communication between AI agents and foundation models (e.g., from watsonx.ai).

MCP is quickly becoming a universal standard—like USB, but for AI agents—defining how inputs such as prompts, user roles, and task context are structured, and how outputs are returned in a consistent, machine-readable format.

This enhancement would allow AI skills to be more reusable, governable, and scalable across workflows, ensuring responsible and efficient AI integration that meets enterprise demands for trust, traceability, and control.

    Thanks for the update! I saw that MCP is already supported through ADK, which is great. That said, what I, and many of our customers, are really hoping for is a simpler, more visual integration directly through the UI. I’ve been referring to this as “Full MCP Support.” Having a more streamlined experience would really help with adoption, especially for teams that aren’t as technical. One idea I shared separately was around integrating of Langflow into watsonx.ai. I think it could be a great way to simplify ADK-based features while still keeping the power and flexibility under the hood. Excited to see how this continues to develop!

    Thank you for your feedback, we are already supporting MCP through the ADK per doc @ https://developer.watson-orchestrate.ibm.com/tools/toolkits

    We do plan to add support in the UI / agent builder as we will eventually do for most ADK features.

    That being said, let us know what may be missing in ADK today or what you would expect in UI when we get there.
