Connect external knowledge sources to agents in a single line

The new agno.context API lets agents reach into filesystems, web sources, SQL databases, Slack, Google Drive, and MCP servers as natural-language tools. What used to require custom integrations, retrieval pipelines, or bespoke tool wrappers now works through one first-party interface.

Context providers turn live data sources into queryable context for any agent, without forcing teams to build and maintain their own retrieval layer. Agents stay grounded in the actual systems your organization already runs, and platform owners get a consistent integration surface to govern and observe.

This shortens time-to-value for retrieval-heavy use cases and removes a recurring source of glue code from production agent stacks.
