Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Turn your AI into a powerful assistant by connecting it to the tools you already use
What is an MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that creates seamless connections between AI models and real-world data sources or tools. Think of it as a "USB-C for AI" – a universal connector that transforms your AI from a conversational tool into a powerful interactive assistant that can access files, browse the web, query databases, and interact with your existing systems, all with robust security controls.
Expand AI Capabilities
MCP bridges the gap between powerful language models and your everyday tools and systems. Instead of just chatting with your AI, you can accomplish real tasks together – whether that's analyzing your company data, automating workflows, or accessing information that would otherwise remain locked in separate applications.
Seamless Integration Ecosystem
Connect your AI to your entire technology stack without complex custom development. MCP's growing library of pre-built connectors works with popular business tools, databases, and services right out of the box. This dramatically reduces implementation time and allows your AI assistant to access the full context of your digital workspace.
Modular Design
Implement only the capabilities you need. Each protocol module functions independently, allowing you to customize your AI's abilities to match your specific requirements. Start with basic file access and expand to more complex integrations as your needs evolve.
Future-Proof Extension Platform
Our extensible architecture and growing developer ecosystem ensure MCP evolves alongside emerging technologies. As new data sources, protocols, and AI capabilities emerge, your MCP implementation can adapt without requiring a complete rebuild of your AI integration strategy.

AI Assistant
When you ask your AI to perform a task that requires real-world interaction, it identifies the appropriate MCPs needed.
MCP Controller
The MCP Controller validates permissions, executes the requested actions, and enforces security boundaries.
External Services
The appropriate services are accessed (files, browsers, APIs), actions are performed, and results are returned to your AI assistant.
This secure workflow ensures that AI interactions with external systems are controlled, monitored, and limited to only what you've explicitly authorized.
