That is what I do at the moment - I gotta update the instructions on the website to prod users to set things up this way.

The issue I perceive though is that adding an MCP server alone is not enough to modify the system prompt of the AI Agent. I tried to have the mcp server description be an injected prompt to add these instructions to the system prompt but that doesn't seem to work, I tried adding sampling to the MCP server which supposedly should be able to plug into messages without luck, tried to optimise for chatGPT with an OpenAPI spec etc.

The only way I found that I can get those clients to use my memory layer is by doing what you describe - which is not necessarily the most user friendly/one-click setup I desire
