Hi,
It would be great if there was a possibility to add MCP Servers to the AI assist.
Use case: I use Retool to build UI for my Shopify store. and Retool Assist is very helpful. but it doesn’t know much about Shopify and the APIs there. Shopify has a great MCP server and if retool assist could query it, it’ll be way more useful.
This is a great suggestion, connecting MCP servers to Retool Assist would make it far more powerful for domain‑specific workflows. Right now, Assist feels limited when dealing with APIs outside its training set, so being able to query an MCP server (like Shopify’s) would bridge that gap.
I can see this being useful not only for Shopify but also for other platforms that expose MCP servers. It would allow Assist to provide context‑aware recommendations and reduce the need for manual API documentation lookups.
Do you know if the Retool team has shared any timeline or roadmap for MCP integration into Assist? Even an experimental or enterprise‑only rollout would be valuable to test. In the meantime, has anyone tried workarounds (like connecting MCP endpoints through custom queries) to partially replicate this behavior?
