MCP

MCP is a protocol that standardizes how large language models connect to external tools, databases, and APIs. It allows an agent to discover available capabilities, receive structured context, and invoke actions in a consistent way.

For energy operations, MCP is valuable because it lets agents interact with project management software, document stores, and communication platforms without custom integrations for every tool. The agent learns what it can do through the protocol, then acts accordingly.

The OpsForEnergy agents use MCP to query Supabase, send Telegram messages, and read email inboxes. This reduces integration complexity and makes it easier to add new tools as the system grows.
