The USB-C for AI
A standardized protocol that connects ClaudeCode to any external tool, API, or data source. Build once, use everywhere.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables ClaudeCode to securely connect with external tools, APIs, and data sources through a unified interface.
Before MCP
- Custom integration for each tool
- Fragmented security models
- No standardized protocol
- Difficult to maintain and scale
With MCP
- One standard protocol for all tools
- Built-in security and authentication
- Plug-and-play integrations
- Easy to build and maintain
Key Features
Tools
Define custom functions that Claude can call to perform actions - from simple API calls to complex workflows.
Resources
Provide Claude with access to external data sources like databases, files, or APIs with proper context.
Prompts
Create reusable prompt templates that can be shared across your team and easily invoked by Claude.
Security
Built-in authentication, authorization, and audit logging ensure your integrations are secure by default.
Flexibility
Support for multiple transport protocols including stdio, HTTP+SSE, and custom implementations.
Developer Friendly
Official SDKs for TypeScript and Python with extensive documentation and examples to get started quickly.
Popular Use Cases
🗄️Database Integration
Connect ClaudeCode to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or any database. Let Claude query, analyze, and visualize your data with natural language.
🌐API Integration
Integrate with REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, or internal microservices. Claude can interact with any HTTP-based service.
📁File System Access
Give Claude access to local or remote file systems. Read, write, search, and analyze files across your infrastructure.
🔍Search & Knowledge
Connect to search engines, knowledge bases, or vector databases. Enable semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation.
🔧DevOps Tools
Integrate with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools. Automate infrastructure management tasks.
📊Analytics & BI
Connect to analytics platforms, business intelligence tools, and data warehouses. Generate insights and reports automatically.
How It Works
Build an MCP Server
Create a server that exposes your tools, data sources, or services using the MCP SDK (TypeScript or Python).
Configure ClaudeCode
Add your MCP server to ClaudeCode's configuration file. Specify the transport protocol and any required credentials.
Start Using
ClaudeCode automatically discovers and uses your tools. Just ask Claude to perform tasks, and it will use the appropriate integrations.
