The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools search external data sources directly. Gloo AI hosts an MCP server for our documentation, so tools like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and ChatGPT can look up our APIs, models, and platform docs while generating responses — no copy-pasting or web searching required.
