There a couple of ways you can go about MCP within coasts (also depends on what the MCP does). You can either install the MCP service host-side (something like playwright), in which case everything should just work out of the box for you.

Alternatively, you can setup the Coast to install MCP services in the containers. There are some cases around specific logging or db MCP's where this might make sense.

>Would love to see this support stdio-to-HTTP bridging so local MCP servers can be exposed as remote ones without rewriting them.

Are you saying if you exposed the MCP service in the Coast and hosted it remotely you could expose back the MCP service remotely? That's actually a sort of interesting idea. Right now, the agents basically need to exec the mcp calls if they are running host-side and need to call an inner mcp. I hadn't considered the case of proxying the stdout to http. I'll think about how best to implement that!
