Start building with MCP
Think of MCP as the “universal adapter” for your AI-powered app. Instead of hand‑coding a new function call for every API, you point the model at an MCP server that exposes a tidy set of commands (things like “search catalog,” “get customer,” or “create ticket.”) This results in fewer moving parts, faster iteration, and easier maintenance as your toolset grows.
Why builders like it
- One connection, many tools: Plug multiple services into one MCP server, then give the model clean, reusable commands.
- Lower friction, faster loops: Cut down on round‑trips and glue code in agentic workflows.
- Reusable patterns: Standardize actions your agents can take across projects/teams.
- Grows with you: Add or swap integrations without re‑prompting your whole app.

Get started today
- Watch the intro video to see how MCP fits into an agentic app.
- Follow the Cookbook to spin up your first MCP tool and test it in a simple workflow.
- Add commands over time as your app needs grow, no big refactors required.
