MCP Plugins Have Landed in Highlight! 🎉

We're thrilled to announce some exciting new updates, all centered around MCP.

For the uninitiated, MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and your favorite external tools and data sources.

Now, all those integrations you know and love are instantly accessible—right at your fingertips using simple @mentions.

Say goodbye to switching tabs and hello to effortless LLM-powered workflows. Your daily tasks just got a whole lot smoother! 🚀✨

Key Highlights 😉

Plugins

• New Plugins tab where you can access all your MCP servers. As well as custom shortcut workflows with the plugins.
• Click on the “@” button from the sidebar to check out all the MCP based plugins you can use immediately on Highlight.

Open Source Bundler

We are open-sourcing our bundler process to allow locally running MCP servers to work more seamlessly. Setting up custom MCP servers is usually hard with all the auth stuff and configuration, especially for non-technical users. So we worked on a bundler system that makes it a lot easier to package up the code allowing it to run on any machine. More details on the roadmap for this coming soon. Check it out here - bundler.mcpservers.com. GitHub Repository here - MCP Bundler on GitHub. You can also access the MCP servers directly through the MCPServers API here - MCP Servers API

MCPServers.com

We are launching a new MCP repository to help you discover the best MCP servers around. These can help you set up servers on all clients but are directly tied into the Highlight app as well, in case you want to immediately download and use a specific server. Check it out here - mcpservers.com.

Why MCP?

• Endless possibilities: MCP opens a world of opportunities by creating a standardized bridge between AI and your go-to work tools.
