## Setup
`research_one_question` (each parallel branch of the `map`) uses the
`ddg-search` MCP server via `mcp:ddg-search`. It is one of Loki's
`ddg-search` MCP server via `mcp:ddg-search`. It is one of Coyote's
default MCP servers; make sure it is registered in
`~/.config/loki/mcp.json` (run `loki --install mcp_config` to restore
`~/.config/coyote/mcp.json` (run `coyote --install mcp_config` to restore
the default template if it is missing). If `ddg-search` is unavailable,
the branches still have their global web-search tools to fall back on.
The `synthesize` node spawns the `report-writer` sub-agent. Both
agents ship with `loki agents install`; if you install one manually,
agents ship with `coyote agents install`; if you install one manually,
install both so the agent reference resolves.
