Standard protocol for connecting AI models to external data sources and tools in a secure, standardized way. Like a universal adapter that lets AI assistants safely access your files and services.
Using MCP, a coding assistant can read your Git repository, access documentation, and interact with your development tools through a single standardized interface.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol (not a cloud-provider service) for standardizing how AI apps connect to external tools and data (e.g., repos, docs, ticketing systems). On AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI you typically host MCP servers on compute (containers/functions/VMs) and secure them with each provider’s identity, networking, and secrets services, but there is no 1:1 managed MCP product from these providers.
