Pi 1.0 runs MCP tools inside a sandbox so their output stays out of context

Earendil's Pi 1.0 coding agent ships native MCP support after more than a year of criticising the protocol, running tool calls inside a WASM sandbox. The team credits a more stateless July 2026 spec and a sandbox it already needed for non-LLM models, so MCP support was a small addition.

Pi adds MCP through a JavaScript sandbox that skips tool-schema preloading

Pi made MCP a core feature in version 0.99.0 on September 29, 2026, after its creator Mario Zechner spent over a year arguing against the protocol. In Pi, models call MCP tools from JavaScript in a QuickJS sandbox, so tool schemas are not preloaded into context.
