ChatVLM Now Speaks MCP

ChatVLM now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources.

What this unlocks

MCP servers give ChatVLM new capabilities the same way extensions give a browser new powers. Connect a server, and every conversation can use it:

  • Your data: internal knowledge bases, databases, ticketing systems
  • Your tools: anything that exposes an MCP interface, from developer utilities to SaaS products
  • Your workflows: chain ChatVLM's built-in tools (search, code interpreter, documents) with your own

Because MCP is an open standard, the ecosystem is already large and growing daily. If a tool speaks MCP, ChatVLM can use it. No custom integration work on our side or yours.

Working with the Smart Router

Connected tools compose naturally with what makes ChatVLM different: the Smart Router still picks the right model for every turn, and now it hands that model your tools as well. A data-heavy question can route to a model that excels at tool use; a creative one routes elsewhere. Your connections work everywhere.

Getting started

Head to settings, add an MCP server, and start asking questions that touch your own systems. Connections are scoped to your account, and, as with everything on ChatVLM, requests run under our contractual zero-data-retention guarantee.

This is the first step in a broader push to make ChatVLM the place where your AI and your systems meet. More on that soon.
