Search for tools using BM25 relevance ranking or regex pattern matching.
Searches across tool names, descriptions, and argument names/descriptions.
By default, uses BM25 natural language search. Set use_regex=True to search
using Python regex patterns instead.
Returns tool_reference blocks for discovered tools with deferred loading.
call_remote_tool

This tool allows direct invocation of any tool on a downstream MCP server.
The tool name should be in the format 'server_name__tool_name' (e.g., 'context7__query-docs').
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
