MCP (Model Context Protocol)

AI interoperabilitytool-calling standardJSON-RPC

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with local and remote resources like databases, filesystems, and APIs.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Before MCP, every AI model required custom, model-specific integrations to access tools. MCP provides a unified JSON-RPC interface that works across any model provider.

ProvnAI Mitigation

McpVanguard provides the mandatory security layer for MCP, ensuring that powerful tool-calling capabilities remain under strict governance and audit.
