MCP
Model Context Protocol — the standard for plugging tools into an LLM like Claude. Roost exposes its operations over MCP, ensuring that your AI assistant can securely access your "Crown Jewels" without needing custom integrations for every single app.
MCP is an open standard that creates a common language between AI models and external data sources. By using MCP, Roost can expose its operations as tools, allowing your AI assistant to securely interface with your local files, CRMs, and calendars without requiring bespoke, one-off integrations for every application.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source architectural standard that facilitates secure, standardized communication between LLM-based agents and external data repositories or toolsets. By implementing MCP, Roost provides a unified interface for exposing operations, enabling AI assistants to perform authenticated, context-aware interactions with disparate systems—such as local files, CRMs, and calendars—thereby eliminating the need for fragmented, proprietary integration layers.
