Enable CodeCompanion's native tools in ACP via MCP?

[Davidyz]

Just a random thought that occurred to me. Since mcphub.nvim supports lua MCP servers/tools and ACP allows clients to provide MCP servers to the agent, would it be possible to implement a shim that translates codecompanion tool definitions to MCP tools, so that the agents can make use of them?

I suppose this would make sense for tools like list_code_usage or my experimental dap extension, which are tightly integrated into the editors and would be difficult to set up with a standalone MCP. @ravitemer, do you think this is a feature that is worth looking into?

As context, the ACP implementation does support MCP servers just not via the UI of the chat buffer. They have to be shared with the adapter via the user's config.

I think the effort vs complexity matrix for shim'ing CodeCompanion's own tools to a coding agent isn't worthwhile as there's nothing unique that CodeCompanion really offers. list_code_usages is a great tool but Claude Code works around that nicely with a grep_search.

Making it easier to share MCP tools with an agent, I totally get. I think CodeCompanion should do more to allow users to bring their own MCP servers without requiring the extension, alas, that's still low priority right now.
