MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL (MCP) READINESS

⚠ Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite does not natively advertise tool-calling capabilities. When connecting to MCP servers, function calling must be handled via structured prompt injection.

MCP Context Window Recommendations

With a context capacity of 1,024 tokens, this model can handle compact tool sets. Consider keeping MCP server tool manifests minimal to preserve headroom.
