Pi compatibility extension

Four tools that bridge common agent workflows into Pi:

  • ask_user_question - prompt the user for input
  • subagent - orchestrate tasks (single, parallel, chain)
  • mcporter_list - list available MCP servers
  • mcporter_call - call MCP server tools

Optional: MCP support via MCPorter

For MCP interoperability, install MCPorter:

npm i -g mcporter
