  A Claude Managed Agent calls tools on remote MCP servers declared in its configuration (Managed Agent -> MCP toolset -> remote MCP server -> MCP tool). The Managed Agents runtime executes MCP calls server-side rather than returning them to the customer's application. Excludes the built-in agent toolset, client-executed custom tools, the Messages API MCP connector, Claude Code and MCP tunnels (research preview).
