{"slug": "mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant", "title": "MCP Support in Kagi Assistant", "summary": "A feature request proposes adding Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support to Kagi Assistant, which would let the assistant interact with outside services through a plugin-style system where users activate and configure servers individually. The proposal suggests an interface akin to Google's integration of its own products into Gemini, rather than editing a JSON file with environment variables, and notes that MCP servers connecting to services such as a user's own Grafana or GitLab would require significant trust in Kagi because API keys would be stored and used by Kagi. Under the proposal, Kagi Assistant would access these MCP servers only after user confirmation.", "body_md": "Adding support for a number of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers to Kagi Assistant would greatly increase its usefulness by giving it the ability to interact with outside services.\n\nI could see this feature be implemented as a sort of plugin system where a user can choose ones to activate from a list of MCP servers and configure them individually with a nice interface (i.e. not just writing it into a json file as env variables), depending on what the specific MCP servers need. I'm thinking of something akin to Google's integration of their own products into Gemini.\n\nThis would provide a nicer user experience than how most people use MCP servers, through software like cursor, windsurf and the like locally on the user's device. For MCP servers which allow interaction with something like a user's own grafana or gitlab, this would of course need quite a bit of trust in Kagi, since there would be API keys in the configs stored and used by Kagi.\n\nKagi Assistant would be given access to these MCP servers, using them after user confirmation to do so.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant", "canonical_source": "https://kagifeedback.org/d/7443-mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant/13", "published_at": "2026-09-10 13:31:44+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-10 14:08:14.719384+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-agents", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Kagi Assistant", "Model Context Protocol", "Kagi", "Gemini", "Google", "Grafana", "GitLab", "Cursor"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-support-in-kagi-assistant.jsonld"}}
