Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol na open standard wey let AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources through uniform interface. MCP server expose typed tools and resources wey model client fit discover and call, so capabilities fit be added without custom code per integration.

Synonym dem: MCP, model context protocol, MCP server, tool protocol

Model Context Protocol standardize how language model reach beyond im own context to use tools and read data. Instead of writing custom adapter for every assistant, platform run MCP server wey publish typed tools and resources with schemas and annotations. Compliant client discover those capabilities and invoke dem through one consistent contract. For governed work automation, MCP valuable because e structured: every tool call arrive schema-described, making it possible to validate inputs, enforce tenant scoping, and subject di call to di same approval policy as any human-initiated action.

Question dem wey people dey ask well-well

Wetin MCP server expose?
Typed tools wey model fit invoke and resources wey e fit read, each described with schema and annotations so client fit discover capabilities and call dem safely.
Why MCP matter for governed automation?
E give external assistants standard, schema-described way to act on platform, so tool calls fit be validated, scoped to tenant, and routed through same approval policy as any other action.
