SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tambo often needs direct access to external data sources, custom logic, and contextual signals to provide richer, more accurate responses. This skill provides a structured way to register tools, connect MCP servers, and supply dynamic context to messages, enabling more capable automation within conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Custom Tools: Define reusable tools that Tambo can call during a session to fetch data, compute results, or perform actions.
  • MCP Server Integration: Connect and communicate with external MCP servers to augment capabilities with streaming or server-side prompts.
  • Context Helpers & Attachments: Attach per-message contextual data and transient attachments to tailor responses and keep interactions stateful.
  • Use Case: Build assistants that fetch user records, enrich messages with context, and orchestrate multi-step workflows through tools and servers.

Quick Start

Launch the TamboProvider with a simple tool that retrieves a user profile and uses context helpers to pass session data into outbound messages.
