Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that defines how AI applications connect to external tools, data sources, and services. MCP uses a client-server architecture where AI-powered applications (clients) communicate with lightweight programs (servers) that expose specific capabilities through a standardized interface.

MCP servers can provide tools (executable functions), resources (read-only data), and prompts (reusable templates). The protocol supports multiple transport mechanisms including stdio for local processes and HTTP with Server-Sent Events for remote connections.

The protocol was created by Anthropic and released as an open specification. It is supported by AI tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop.

Open-source agentic workspace enterprises can make their own. Connect the systems you already run — 100+ integrations, MCP, chat tools, apps, browser, local files — with shared memory. Any agent (Claude Code, Codex), any model, or BYOK. Set up in clicks, not months. Local-first: your data never leaves your machines.
