We have a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that is cloud-hosted and exposes REST endpoints. The MCP server acts as a gateway that allows LLMs to invoke REST APIs on external systems, including our RTM platform.

Our objective is to integrate this MCP service with Rovo so that Rovo can discover and use the MCP tool to make REST API calls through natural language prompts.

Use Case

  • User interacts with Rovo.
  • Rovo invokes our cloud-hosted MCP server.
  • MCP server executes the requested REST API call against RTM.
  • Response is returned to Rovo and presented to the user.

Request:

Could you please provide guidance on:

  • How to register or configure a custom cloud-hosted MCP server as a tool within Rovo?
  • Does Rovo support connecting to external MCP servers?
  • What authentication mechanisms are supported (API Key, OAuth, JWT, etc.)?
  • Are there any network, security, or allowlisting requirements?
  • How can we expose MCP tools so that Rovo can discover and invoke them through natural language interactions?
  • Are there any examples or documentation available for integrating custom MCP-based tools with Rovo?

Example Requirement

We would like users to be able to issue prompts such as:
"Create a folder in RTM named Release_1.0"
or
"Upload the generated test cases to RTM"

Rovo should then invoke the corresponding MCP tool, which will execute the appropriate REST API calls against RTM and return the result.

Please advise on the recommended approach and any prerequisites for enabling this integration.
