The hardest UX problem we've hit is getting fresh-session agents to discover and install an MCP server. We've layered a paste prompt, an HTTP Link header pointing at the MCP endpoint, and a doctor-style diagnostic. Works for the agents we test, but I keep wondering if there's a sharper pattern.
What have you seen work for bootstrapping new agents into MCP servers or unfamiliar tools? Curious about both protocol-level ideas and harness-level ones.
NOTE: re-wrote the comment to be more direct since it was previously flagged (I suspect due to a bunch of links??)
