# MCP reference
This is the complete catalog behind the workflows in [Orchestration](/docs/orchestration) and [Common workflows](/docs/orchestration-workflows). You normally ask for an outcome in natural language and let the agent choose the tools.
Paseo can inject these tools into every new agent it launches. Open **Settings → your host → Agents** and turn on **Enable Paseo tools**, or set `daemon.mcp.injectIntoAgents` to `true`.
Depending on the provider, Paseo delivers the catalog through its native tool interface or MCP. The capabilities are the same either way.
The MCP server itself is controlled by `daemon.mcp.enabled`. Existing agents may need a reload.
