tools-and-context

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables Tambo to register and call custom tools, connect to MCP servers, and manage dynamic context within conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define tools that Tambo can call using defineTool and register them with TamboProvider.
• Connect to external MCP servers to pull data, prompts, or actions into conversations.
• Add dynamic context helpers and one-time context attachments to tailor each message.
• Easily extend Tambo with additional data sources and in-app resources to support advanced interactions.

Quick Start

1. Install the required packages, e.g. npm install @tambo-ai/react zod

2. Register a tool and wrap your app with TamboProvider: const fetchUserTool = defineTool({ name: "fetchUser", description: "Fetch user by ID", inputSchema: z.object({ userId: z.string() }), tool: async ({ userId }) => fetchUser(userId) });

   <TamboProvider tools={[fetchUserTool]}> <App /> </TamboProvider>;

3. Connect MCP servers and add context helpers as needed.
