MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Anthropic-proposed open protocol for connecting LLMs to external tools and data sources.

MCP standardizes how an LLM client (Claude Desktop, an agent framework, etc.) discovers and invokes external tools and resources. An MCP server exposes a defined set of capabilities; any MCP-compatible client can consume them without bespoke integration code. SiftQ ships an MCP server so any Claude-aware agent can use it out of the box.
