Allows CowAgent to dynamically load tools from any MCP server at startup,
extending the agent from a fixed toolset to an open, extensible tool ecosystem.
## What's added
- `agent/tools/mcp/mcp_client.py`: lightweight JSON-RPC client supporting both
stdio (subprocess) and SSE (HTTP) transports — zero extra dependencies
- `agent/tools/mcp/mcp_tool.py`: `McpTool` wraps a single MCP tool as a
`BaseTool`, with dynamic name/description/params set at instance level
- `agent/tools/tool_manager.py`: new `_load_mcp_tools()` loads MCP servers at
startup via `McpClientRegistry`; falls back gracefully on any error; no-op
when `mcp_servers` is not configured
- `config.py`: registers `mcp_servers` in `available_setting` with inline docs
## Design
- No new dependencies — JSON-RPC implemented from scratch using stdlib only
- MCP clients are long-lived (initialized once, shared across tool calls)
- `McpClientRegistry` holds all subprocess handles and shuts them down cleanly
- Server init failures are non-fatal: logged as warnings, agent continues normally
- Zero overhead when `mcp_servers` is absent from config
## Config example
```json
"mcp_servers": [
{
"name": "filesystem",
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
}
]
```

The translate module previously only supported Baidu translation, and the
factory raised a bare RuntimeError for any other type. This change adds
Youdao Translation as a second provider and improves the factory's error
message.
Implementation details:
- New YoudaoTranslator class in translate/youdao/youdao_translate.py
- Implements Youdao's v3 SHA-256 signature scheme, including the
truncate-input rule for queries longer than 20 characters
- Maps ISO 639-1 language codes to Youdao-specific codes
(zh -> zh-CHS, zh-TW -> zh-CHT, others pass through)
- Differentiates network errors, API error codes, and empty translations
- factory.create_translator now lists the supported types in its
RuntimeError message instead of failing silently
- Default config exposes youdao_translate_app_key and
youdao_translate_app_secret
Adds 17 unit tests covering signature correctness, language code mapping,
input truncation edge cases, the full request/response flow, and factory
dispatch. All tests pass under Python 3.11.
- rewrite streaming reply to official cardkit v2.0 API (default on, auto-fallback)
- fix Whisper hallucination: bump ASR sample rate to 16k, pass language=zh
- fix lock-over-IO and tmp file cleanup from #2791
- drop deprecated feishu_bot_name; quiet unknown-key warnings
- docs: cardkit permission and feishu_stream_reply usage
