Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) serves as Tensor One’s standardized client-server architecture for AI tool and resource integration. MCP enables seamless communication between AI applications and external services, providing a unified interface for tool discovery, resource access, and context sharing across distributed systems. As an implementation of Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol specification, Tensor One’s MCP layer facilitates secure, scalable, and intelligent coordination between AI models and the tools they need to accomplish complex tasks.
