Example use

On prompt

When asked to fetch/lookup/search the web, the model prompts you to use MCP server for the chat.
In the example, have asked it about Google's latest Gemma models released yesterday. This is new info that Claude is not aware about. <img src='images/mcp_prompted.png'>

Result

The result from the local
rag_search
helps the model answer with new info. <img src='images/mcp_result.png'>
