Individual skill
external-agents
Connect external agents and MCP hosts (Claude, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT custom MCP apps, Codex, Cursor, Claude Cowork, VS Code GitHub Copilot, Goose, Postman, MCPJam) to an agent-native app over MCP, and round-trip artifacts back into the UI with MCP Apps and deep links. Use when adding an action's `link` builder or `mcpApp`, wiring the `/_agent-native/open` route, exposing an "ingest" action to MCP/A2A, or scaffolding apps from an external agent.

# External Agents (MCP bridge + deep links)
## Rule
- **The connected model is the author.** Write content yourself with create/update tools; never delegate via `ask_app` or wait on an unreachable in-app form — see `DEFAULT_AGENT_NATIVE_MCP_INSTRUCTIONS`.
- **Result shape and key tools are in `actions`** (Return Values, Key Actions).
- **Artifacts fit in one call.** Up to 500,000 characters; return a `storing-data` handle.
- **One tab, one id.** WebMCP sends `X-Agent-Native-Browser-Tab`; state resolves to the driving tab (`context-awareness`).
An agent-native app is reachable by any MCP-compatible host. Keep
setup simple: for workspace or cross-app access, add one remote MCP connector:
`https://dispatch.agent-native.com/mcp`. Dispatch's Agents page
controls whether that single connector reaches all apps or only selected apps,
and Dispatch filters `list_apps`, `ask_app`, and `open_app` to the granted set.
