Add You.com MCP Server Integration

What Changed

This PR adds You.com as a predefined MCP (Model Context Protocol) server option in deco Studio, enabling agents to access web search, content extraction, and research capabilities through You.com's MCP endpoint.

Key Features

  • Predefined Server Integration: You.com appears as a recognized server option when users enter https://api.you.com/mcp
  • Flexible Authentication: Supports both authenticated (API key) and keyless operation
  • Multiple Connection Types: Works with SSE, HTTP, and WebSocket connection types
  • User-Friendly Setup: Automatic provider hint detection with clear guidance
  • Keyless Fallback: 100 free searches per day without requiring API key setup

Implementation Details

  • Added youcom to the ConnectionProviderHint type system
  • Implemented URL pattern matching for https://api.you.com/mcp
  • Added comprehensive provider hints with token field customization
  • Included test coverage for all connection scenarios
  • Added documentation for setup and usage patterns

How to Test

  1. Create New Connection:

    • Go to Connections → Create Connection
    • Select "SSE" as connection type
    • Enter URL: https://api.you.com/mcp
    • Notice automatic detection of You.com provider
  2. Verify Provider Hints:

    • Observe custom token field label: "You.com API Key (optional)"
    • Check helper text about keyless operation
    • Confirm placeholder text shows example format
  3. Test Authentication Options:

    • With API Key: Enter valid You.com API key in token field
    • Keyless: Leave token field empty for keyless operation

Agent Tools Available

Once connected, agents gain access to:

  • you-search: Web search with customizable parameters
  • you-contents: URL content extraction
  • you-research: Synthesized research with citations

Migration Notes

This is a pure additive change with no breaking changes:

  • Existing connections and configurations remain unchanged
  • No database migrations required
  • Backwards compatible with all existing provider hints

Validation Performed

✅ Provider hint detection works correctly for You.com URLs
✅ Supports all relevant connection types (SSE, HTTP, WebSocket)
✅ URL normalization handles trailing slashes properly
✅ Does not interfere with existing provider detection (GitHub, Perplexity)
✅ Test coverage added for all integration scenarios
✅ Documentation provides clear setup and usage guidance
