MCP What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools securely connect to, and work inside, external software.

For Great Question, that means Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT can now do your research for you. Not just read what’s in your repository, actually design studies, invite your customers, and bring the findings back.
