   * Protocol: Options include *Auto*, *Streamable HTTP*, and *SSE*.

Once connected, the MCP server will be available as a datasource in your app. You can now bind it to data components, workflows, or agents. For example, you might call operations like `get_current_weather_tool` to display live weather for a city, or `get_weather_forecast_tool` to show multi-day forecasts directly in your JetAdmin app.
