With the rapid expansion of available MCP servers, we need ways to manage our MCP workloads dynamically. Agents can help us configure agents! This talk explores a set of _primordial_ MCP tools that enable agents to discover, configure, and activate MCP servers at runtime. Rather than focusing on deferred tool loading or context reduction, we examine how agents can discover relevant servers from community registries or private catalogs, elicit configuration from users, and activate tools in the current session. We also examine the use of elicitation URLs as a key building block for constructing portable, reusable MCP configurations.
