MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the interface layer that lets an AI agent connect to tools and data sources in a structured way.

Why use MCP​

  • gives the model controlled access to project context
  • standardizes tool calls and responses
  • reduces ad hoc integrations
  • makes workflows easier to audit

Common MCP uses​

  • read repository files and metadata
  • run safe development commands
  • access structured references (docs, APIs, internal resources)

Implementation note​

Start with minimal tool access, then expand permissions only when needed for workflow coverage.
