Connecting Tools with MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) transforms Claude Code from a local file editor into a connected agent capable of interacting with your entire tech stack, from Jira tickets to live databases. Acting like a "USB-C port for AI," MCP provides a standardized bridge that allows Claude to discover and execute external functions without requiring custom-coded integrations for every service.
