Model Context Protocol
The standardized way to connect AI models to data sources and tools
What Makes MCP Special?
Standardized Integration
Like USB-C for AI, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to various data sources and tools.
Pre-built Integrations
Access a growing list of pre-built integrations that your LLM can directly plug into.
Provider Flexibility
Easily switch between LLM providers and vendors without changing your integrations.
Data Security
Follow best practices for securing your data within your own infrastructure.
How MCP Works
MCP creates a standardized bridge between AI models and various data sources through a client-server architecture.
Connection
AI applications (like Claude Desktop) connect to MCP servers running on your computer.
Access Request
When your AI needs information, it requests it through the MCP server, which follows strict permission protocols.
Data Retrieval
The MCP server accesses your data sources, processes information, and returns it in a standardized format.
Enhanced AI Response
Your AI model uses this contextual information to provide more accurate, relevant responses.
