What is MCP?
An overview of the Model Context Protocol and the Connfig MCP server
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources through a standard interface. Once you connect an MCP server to an assistant like Claude, the assistant picks and calls the server's tools on its own, driven by your natural-language instructions — you say "find dentists in Istanbul and add the ones with an email to my CRM," and the assistant runs the right tools in the right order.
What does Connfig MCP provide?
