Enabling Disabled Tools

Some tools are disabled by default (shown as empty cells in the "Enabled (default)" column above). To enable these disabled tools:

Locate the tool definition in the source code
Remove the tags=["Disabled"] line from the tool configuration
Restart the MCP server

This will make the previously disabled tools available for use.

Use Cases

1) Same Host (Recommended)

flowchart LR

    subgraph 192.168.1.100
        direction LR
        
        subgraph FileSystem [File System]
        end
        subgraph EagleApp [Eagle App<br/>localhost:41595]
        end
        subgraph MCPServer [MCP Server<br/>localhost:8000]
        end
        subgraph MCPClient [MCP Client]
        end
    end

    EagleApp ==> MCPServer e1@==> MCPClient
    MCPClient e2@==> MCPServer ==> EagleApp
    EagleApp ==> FileSystem
    FileSystem ==> EagleApp

    e1@{ animate: true }
    e2@{ animate: true }

[!TIP] You have direct access to the filesystem.

2) Other Host (MCP Client) + Same Host (MCP Server, Eagle App)

flowchart LR
  
    subgraph 192.168.1.100
        subgraph FileSystem [File System]
        end
        subgraph EagleApp [Eagle App<br/>localhost:41595]
        end
        subgraph MCPServer [MCP Server<br/>localhost:8000]
        end
    end

    subgraph 192.168.1.xxx
        subgraph MCPClient [MCP Client]
        end
    end

    EagleApp ==> MCPServer e1@==> MCPClient
    MCPClient e2@==> MCPServer ==> EagleApp
    EagleApp ==> FileSystem
    FileSystem ==> EagleApp

    e1@{ animate: true }
    e2@{ animate: true }

[!WARNING] You don't have access to the filesystem.
