MCP for teams: connect AI agents to your tools
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for giving AI agents access to tools and data. For a team, it means agents can work in Slack, GitHub, Linear, your docs and more, with access you control.
What is MCP?
MCP is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic, for connecting AI applications to tools and data. Instead of a custom integration for every pairing, a tool offers an MCP server and any agent that speaks MCP can use it.
Why does it matter for a team?
- Agents can do things, not just answer questions.
- One connection can serve the whole team.
- Access is set in one place.
How do you keep access safe?
- Connect only what the work needs.
- Prefer read-only access where you can.
- Choose who can use each connection.
- Review the record of tool calls.
Know that a tool that changes data finishes its call once it starts. Only tools marked read-only can be stopped mid-call.
What should a team connect first?
- Your code host, such as GitHub or GitLab.
- Your issue tracker, such as Linear.
- Your chat, such as Slack.
- Your docs, such as Notion or Google Drive.
