Before MCP, every agent framework needed its own bespoke integration for every tool and data source — an N×M problem that scaled integration cost linearly with both your agent count and your tool count.

The Model Context Protocol standardizes the interface between agents and tools, turning that N×M problem into N+M. Build an MCP server for your internal system once, and any compliant agent can use it.

We've made MCP a first-class citizen in Agent Studio, and in this post we share patterns for designing MCP servers that are secure, well-scoped, and easy for other teams to reuse.
