MCP overview
Connect AI clients to permission-aware publishing context.
Overview
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets compatible AI clients discover Veristage catalogue, workflow, and AI tools through a permission-aware connection. Tools are discovered at runtime with tools/list, so they are documented separately from the REST OpenAPI contract.
API keys remain server-side. Every session is bound to the key that created it, and every tool call inherits the linked service user’s permissions and the key’s coarse scopes.
