Plugins can now extend plugin-mcp (e.g. inject custom MCP tools). A plugin finds plugin-mcp by slug via config.plugins, accesses its options, and pushes tools directly into options.mcp.tools. Because plugin-mcp uses a high priority (runs last), the injected tools are available when it builds the MCP server.

Also exports MCPPluginConfig type so external plugins can type the options object when injecting tools. Since it wasn't exported before, I took the opportunity to rename PluginMCPServerConfig => MCPPluginConfig. This is simpler and more consistent with type from our other plugins


return config
}

plugin.slug = '@payloadcms/plugin-mcp'
