Foire Aux Questions

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. Its primary purpose is to integrate dynamic context handling into AI systems, allowing them to be more adaptable and intelligent by using context to drive decision-making.

Context is critical because it allows AI systems to interpret and respond to real-world scenarios accurately. Without context, AI might make irrelevant or incorrect decisions, which can reduce its effectiveness and reliability.

MCP enhances decision intelligence by providing dynamic, context-driven insights that help businesses make more informed and effective decisions, adapting to changing environments and new data as it becomes available.
