What Is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP is a standard that lets an AI assistant connect securely to specific tools and data in an app, within limits you set, rather than having open access to everything.
MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is a standard that lets an AI assistant connect to specific tools and data inside an app, with clear boundaries on what it can see and do. It lets your own AI work with real data rather than only what you paste into a chat.
For a photographer, MCP means an AI like Claude can be given scoped access to your studio account, to draft a campaign or summarise leads, while sensitive actions still need your approval.
Frequently asked questions
What does MCP stand for?
Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting an AI assistant to specific tools and data within defined permissions, rather than open access to everything.
Is connecting an AI via MCP safe?
Access is scoped to exactly what you permit, and sensitive actions like sending or publishing typically require your approval, so the AI cannot act outside its boundaries.
