Making MCP Tool Use Feel Natural

If you've ever had to tell an AI which tool to use mid-prompt, you know how clunky MCP can feel. The fix isn't rules—it's context. Tools should be purpose-built and clearly named (e.g.,summarize_collection_content vs. a vague “retrieval” tool), and the client should understand tool capabilities.

Needle's MCP client is context-aware, routing calls naturally without brittle prompt hacks. As your connectors and tools grow, the client's understanding grows too.

Try context-aware MCP with Needle and feel the difference in agent interactions.
