Reachy Mini Adds MCP-Based Remote Tool Support

The Reachy Mini conversation app now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling it to call tools hosted on Hugging Face Spaces. This makes it easy to extend beyond the existing local tools that control the robot's hardware, adding external features such as web search or checking the weather.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Remote Tool Usage: New capabilities can be added simply by adding a Hugging Face Space, without downloading any separate code.
• Easy Maintenance: There's no need to modify the app itself when sharing or updating tools, and it's optimized for stateless functions like search or weather.
• Simple Extension: Tools can be easily added via the reachy-mini-conversation-app tool-spaces add command.

Tool usage permissions are managed through Profile settings. Only tools specified in the tools.txt file can be called by the model, allowing flexible feature expansion while keeping the robot's core operations safe.
