Why it matters
A shared protocol can simplify how AI applications connect to tools and data. Each connection still needs clear access, identity, and review boundaries.
How it works
MCP defines a way for an AI application to communicate with a server that exposes tools or data. The capabilities available depend on each server and its configuration.
How Halo approaches it
Halo’s MCP and tool gateway applies identity, policy, approval, budget, and evidence controls to supported agent tool traffic.
