MCP - Extend and Connect
Model Context Protocol implementations for building extensible AI systems with standardized tool integration.

Model Context Protocol
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI models to external data sources and tools. We build MCP-based systems that give AI models secure, structured access to your business systems.
What is MCP?
The USB-C for AI
MCP provides a standardized way to:
- Connect: Link AI models to databases, APIs, and services
- Discover: Let models understand available capabilities dynamically
- Execute: Safely run tools with proper authorization and validation
- Context: Provide relevant information to models when needed
