Model Context Protocol (MCP)

An open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data sources through one common interface, instead of a custom integration each time.

The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a shared way for AI applications to plug into tools, files, and services. Rather than building a one-off connector for every system, you expose them through a common protocol the assistant understands.

The benefit is reuse and consistency: a tool built to the standard can work across different AI clients, which lowers integration effort and avoids lock-in. It is part of how AI is moving from isolated chatbots toward connected systems.

How we use it

We use standards like MCP to connect AI to your real tools and data cleanly, so integrations are maintainable rather than a tangle of one-off glue code.
