dropthejase opens Louis up to outside tool servers
The fork can now pull in external data and tools on demand - and the first one wired up searches live UK legislation.
Louis now speaks MCP, the emerging standard for letting an AI assistant connect to outside tools and live data sources instead of relying only on what it was trained on. dropthejase switched the starter connection from a French government service to a UK legislation search service built by the British government's in-house AI team, so the assistant can look up statute on demand rather than trusting its own memory.
Each user can flip individual servers on or off, and connections that need a key are secured with private tokens. For now it handles only straightforward token-based access - services that demand an interactive sign-in aren't covered yet, which is worth knowing before you plan around it.
