What is the MCP Server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is an open-standard backend interface that allows large language models (such as Claude or GPT) to securely request and consume real-time context information from external systems through defined capabilities. It acts as an API bridge between AI models and your systems.

How to use the MCP Server?

Using the MCP Server requires three basic steps: 1) Deploy an MCP server instance. 2) Configure the required capabilities. 3) Connect the AI model to the server through the standard protocol.

Use cases

The MCP Server is particularly suitable for scenarios that require integrating AI models with enterprise systems, real-time data, or professional tools, such as customer service automation, data analysis enhancement, and business process optimization.

Main features

Real-time context accessAllows AI models to query and obtain the latest information in external systems in real-time

Secure integrationEnsures the security of data exchange through a standardized protocol and permission control

Capability managementFlexibly defines and expands the set of capabilities exposed by the server to AI models

Multi-model supportIs compatible with mainstream AI models such as Claude and GPT

Advantages and limitations

Advantages

Provides a standardized interface between AI models and enterprise systems

Supports real-time data access, enhancing the accuracy of AI decision-making

Flexible permission and capability control mechanisms

Reduces the problem of AI hallucination

Limitations

Requires additional server deployment and maintenance

May require adaptation work for the integration of existing systems

Performance depends on the response speed of external systems

How to use

Clone the documentation repository

First, obtain the documentation and configuration examples of the MCP Server

Deploy the server

Select an appropriate deployment method (container, cloud service, or local) according to your environment

Configure capabilities

Define the set of capabilities and permissions that the server will expose to AI models

Connect the AI model

Configure your AI model to communicate with the server using the MCP protocol

Usage examples

🚀 MCP Server Documentation

This repository contains comprehensive developer documentation for building, running, and integrating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server — a powerful approach to connect AI models (such as Claude or GPT) with real-time data, tools, and business logic.

🔍 What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables large language models (LLMs) to request and consume real-time context from external systems through defined functions in a secure and reliable manner. The MCP server acts as a backend interface, exposing these functions.

You can think of it as an API bridge between AI models and your system — clean, secure, and AI-friendly.
