# Tool Name Prefix

> Add a prefix to the name of your MCP tools.

Add a prefix to the name of your MCP tools. This is useful to avoid name collisions with other tools, especially when using multiple MCP servers.

```python tool_name_prefix.py theme={null}

import asyncio

from agno.agent.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.mcp import MCPTools
