What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. That sounds heavy, but it describes a simple agreement: how an AI app and other software talk to each other safely.

What the name means

• Model: the AI model, the brain behind the app.
• Context: the information the model needs to do something well.
• Protocol: the agreement on how the model and other software talk to each other.

How it works

The AI app is the side that asks for something. Software like your site is the side that answers. It decides what may be read and changed. Anything not allowed stays closed.

What the AI can and can't do on your site

• Can: read and change texts, add and place photos.
• Can't: change the code of your site.

Why an open standard

Because everyone uses the same agreement, you're not tied to one app. Today you work with one, tomorrow with another, and your site stays the same.

Safety and permission

You set up the connection yourself, and only then can an app do anything. Every change is checked before it goes live, and we keep a record of who changed what.
