I can't believe they overlooked this. This is the only way to use MCP, and they've screwed it up.
The way I see it, they should leave MCPO behind and migrate directly to MCP.
The more tools they have to maintain, the worse the maintainability.
@cma2t3r commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2025):
MCPO is useful for those cases where the MCP Tool traffic needs to originate in a specific node to access an isolated/restricted resource.

Not sure if YouTube transcript tool is related, but that isn't working for me either.
@jhemmond commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
Time to downgrade until this is figured out. Big feature to miss..
@papajbeautiful commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
+1
No tool servers available in models after upgrade.
@zhangruicn commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
In the past, when the MCP tool stopped working, simply restarting it resolved the issue. However, this time, even after deleting and re-adding it, the problem persists.
@healdgar commented on GitHub (Aug 22, 2025):
Same issue, the + button in chat doesn't bring up enabled tools anymore either.
