What is an MCP Server?

MCP servers are like smart bridges that connect your AI assistants to your data, tools, and systems. MCP-Cloud makes it easy to deploy and manage these servers without needing technical expertise.

Why Do You Need an MCP Server?

When you use AI assistants like Claude, GPT, or others, they don't automatically have access to your company's data or tools. MCP servers solve this problem by creating a secure connection between your AI assistants and the resources they need.

What Can You Do with MCP Servers?

With MCP servers deployed through MCP-Cloud, you can:

1. Give AI Access to Your Data

Let your AI assistants access information from:

• Your company's databases
• Document libraries and knowledge bases
• File systems and cloud storage
• Internal websites and content

All while maintaining security and controlling exactly what data they can access.

2. Connect AI to Your Tools

Enable your AI assistants to work with tools like:

• GitHub and other development platforms
• CRM systems and customer databases
• Email and messaging platforms
• Productivity apps like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

3. Create Powerful Workflows

Build seamless processes where your AI can:

• Look up information in your knowledge base
• Create and update documents
• Send notifications or messages
• Track tasks and update project management tools
• Generate reports based on your business data
