AI tools registry (Shadcn-style) for adding external MCP-like tools for agents

[Haruna2004]

Right now, the way to use external tools in the Vercel AI SDK is either through the MCP client integration or by copying code from somewhere else.

What if developers could run a simple command to automatically add tool functions into their codebase, ready to edit?

npx ai-tools add [tool-name-1], [tool-name-2]
npx ai-tools add --all

Example:

npx ai-tools add github --all
npx ai-tools add github create_repository,read_repository
npx ai-tools add gmail --all

What this would do:

1. Generate a file: Creates a new file for the tool (e.g. tools/github.ts).
2. Add the code: Includes the tool’s function definitions, inputSchema (zod), and description.
3. Enable customization: Developers can edit the tool’s logic to fit their needs.
4. Promote reusability: A shared registry would let the community discover, share, and improve a library of common tools.
