Model Context Protocol (MCP) – Access For AI Agents

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that enables AI agents to securely connect with external data sources and tools. Think of MCP as a universal “plugin system” for AI – it provides a standardized way for AI models like Claude to interact with your business data, APIs, and applications without requiring direct database access.

Providing real-time data access to your business systems
Enabling action execution within your applications
Maintaining security through controlled, predefined interfaces
Ensuring data freshness without manual data exports
