Create and edit agents, pipelines, toolkits and MCPs from chat

Once an agent, pipeline, toolkit, or MCP connection (an MCP connection is a kind of toolkit) is a participant in your conversation, you can open its editor inline and adjust it without switching pages. The same inline editor also opens in create mode directly from the composer’s + menu, so you never have to leave the conversation to start a new one.

Create a new one from the composer

1. Open the + menu

   Select + in the composer toolbar, then open the Agents, Pipelines, or Toolkits category (MCP connections are created from the Toolkits category too).

2. Select Create new

   Above the category’s list of existing items, select Create new. The same inline editor a participant’s own edit icon opens appears, in create mode.

3. Fill it in and save

   Enter the required fields (an agent needs a name and description; other entity types have their own minimums) and save.

4. It's attached automatically

   Saving creates the entity and attaches it to the current conversation as a participant — the same as picking an existing one from the list. It shows up in the Participants panel right away.

Note

The automatic attach needs a conversation that already exists. From a brand-new, not-yet-sent chat, the entity is still created, but it is only attached once that first message creates the conversation.

Edit an existing participant

1. Attach the participant

   If it isn’t already in the conversation, attach it from the composer’s + menu or by typing #. See Use chat.

2. Open its editor

   Click the participant in the Participants panel, then click its settings icon (or hover and click the edit icon that appears).

3. Make your changes and save

   The inline editor opens for that entity type. Edit it and save — the change applies to that entity going forward, the same as editing it from its own page.

What you can change per entity type

• Agent: instructions, model and model settings, and attached toolkits. See Build an agent with AI for the underlying fields.
• Pipeline: the flow and its nodes. See Use the flow editor.
• Toolkit or MCP connection: configuration, credential, and which tools are enabled. See Use credentials.
