can i use MCP instead of semantic kernel plugin.

My use case is i have 12 indexes of ai search which i am writing as individual plugin then user prompts a question using which gpt decides what to use through :

function_choice_behavior=FunctionChoiceBehavior.Auto()

@KishoreKunalPraval I'm not sure what you mean, this sample create a Plugin out of a MCP server definition, and then uses function calling to let the agent use it. So it has nothing to do with AI Search...

@eavanvalkenburg , i was asking can "plugin" be replaced with MCP to do choose which index to choose , what's the user intent , how to format the response etc.
