Mental BoundMCP — the Model Context Protocol — is an open standard, created by Anthropic, for connecting AI assistants to the tools and data that make them useful. It acts as a universal adapter: instead of an AI that can only chat, you get one that can read documents, query systems, update records, and take real actions, all inside limits you define.
A connection has two sides. An MCP server wraps a tool, dataset, or system — a database, an internal API, a SaaS, a file store — so any compatible assistant can use it with permission. An MCP client lives inside an app or agent, letting it tap the growing ecosystem of MCP servers. Because the protocol is open, the same server works with Claude today and any other MCP-compatible client tomorrow.
MCP turns a clever chatbot into a system that does real work across your stack, without a tangle of one-off integrations. Control stays with you — fine-grained permissions, approvals, and a full audit trail govern exactly what the AI can see and do. We design and build custom MCP servers and clients around the tools you already run.
