MCP Tool Ecosystem
Nexent is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool ecosystem, providing a flexible and extensible framework for integrating various tools and services. MCP serves as the "USB-C of AI" - a universal interface standard that allows AI agents to seamlessly connect with external data sources, tools, and services.
📖 What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. It provides a standardized way for AI models to access and interact with external systems, making it easier to build powerful, context-aware AI applications.
