MCP
MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is the open protocol that lets an AI call real tools, like reading a file or updating a record, instead of only generating text about doing so.
Before protocols like this existed, every integration between an AI and an outside system was custom, one-off glue code. MCP standardizes that connection: any MCP-compatible AI can talk to any MCP-compatible tool server the same way, without bespoke integration work for each pairing.
Assistant
Masterforce's own system tools, and every connection you add, whether it is GitHub, Slack, or a custom HTTP API, are exposed to agents and the assistant as MCP tools. That is the mechanism underneath bring your own AI: the model changes, but the tool layer speaking MCP stays the same.
