Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. Comput3 Network provides full MCP support for enhanced AI interactions.

​
Overview

MCP integration with Comput3 Network enables:

External Data Access

Connect AI models to external databases, APIs, and data sources securely.

Tool Integration

Enable AI models to use external tools and services for enhanced capabilities.

Secure Connections

All MCP connections are authenticated and encrypted for enterprise security.

Real-time Data

Access live data sources for up-to-date information in AI responses.

​
What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI models to:
  • Connect to Data Sources: Databases, file systems, APIs, and web services
  • Use External Tools: Calculators, code executors, web browsers, and custom applications
  • Maintain Security: Authenticated and permission-based access to resources
  • Scale Efficiently: Handle multiple concurrent connections and data streams

​
MCP Architecture

Data and tool providers that expose capabilities to AI models
  • Database connectors (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
  • File system access (local and cloud storage)
  • API integrations (REST, GraphQL, WebSocket)
  • Custom tool implementations
Examples:
  • GitHub repository access
  • Google Workspace integration
  • Slack message history
  • Custom business logic tools
AI applications that consume MCP services
  • Claude Desktop and web interfaces
  • Custom AI applications
  • Comput3 Network chat interfaces
  • Third-party AI tools and platforms
Capabilities:
  • Discover available MCP servers
  • Authenticate with data sources
  • Execute tool functions
  • Process real-time data streams
Core MCP protocol capabilities
  • Resource Discovery: Find available data and tools
  • Authentication: Secure access control mechanisms
  • Real-time Updates: Live data synchronization
  • Error Handling: Robust error reporting and recovery
  • Logging: Comprehensive audit trails

​
Getting Started with MCP

1

Enable MCP Support

MCP is automatically available with all Comput3 Network AI models.
No additional setup required - MCP support is built into the platform.
2

Configure Data Sources

Set up connections to your external data sources and tools.

Quick Setup

Use pre-configured MCP servers for common services like GitHub, Google Drive, and Slack.

Custom Setup

Create custom MCP server configurations for your specific data sources and tools.
3

Test Integration

Verify your MCP connections work correctly with test queries.
"Can you check my latest GitHub commits and summarize the changes?"
"What are the recent messages in our #development Slack channel?"
"Analyze the sales data from our PostgreSQL database for this month"
4

Use in Conversations

Start using MCP-enhanced conversations with access to your connected data and tools.

​
MCP Use Cases

​
Development Workflows

Connect AI models to your codebase
  • GitHub Integration: Access repositories, issues, pull requests
  • Code Analysis: Review code changes and suggest improvements
  • Documentation: Generate docs from code comments and structure
  • Bug Tracking: Analyze issue patterns and suggest fixes
Example Queries:
  • “Review the latest pull request in my repository”
  • “Generate documentation for the new API endpoints”
  • “Find similar bugs in our issue history”
Query and analyze your data with AI assistance
  • SQL Generation: Create complex queries from natural language
  • Data Analysis: Statistical analysis and trend identification
  • Report Generation: Automated reporting from database queries
  • Data Validation: Check data quality and consistency
Example Queries:
  • “Show me the top 10 customers by revenue this quarter”
  • “Generate a report on user engagement trends”
  • “Find anomalies in our transaction data”
Connect to external services and APIs
  • CRM Systems: Salesforce, HubSpot integration
  • Communication: Slack, Discord, email systems
  • Cloud Services: AWS, GCP, Azure management
  • Custom APIs: Internal business systems
Example Queries:
  • “Create a new lead in Salesforce with this contact info”
  • “Send a summary of today’s support tickets to the team”
  • “Check the status of our AWS infrastructure”

​
Business Intelligence

Real-time Analytics

Connect to live data sources for up-to-date business insights and decision making.

Automated Reporting

Generate reports automatically from multiple data sources with AI analysis.

Data Discovery

Use natural language to explore and understand your data landscape.

Predictive Analysis

Combine historical data with AI models for forecasting and predictions.

​
Security and Compliance

​
Data Protection

MCP connections handle sensitive data. Ensure proper security measures are in place before connecting production systems.
Secure authentication for all MCP connections
  • OAuth 2.0: Industry-standard authentication flow
  • API Keys: Secure key-based authentication
  • Certificate Auth: X.509 certificate-based security
  • Multi-factor Auth: Additional security layers
Best Practices:
  • Use least-privilege access principles
  • Rotate credentials regularly
  • Monitor access logs
  • Implement connection timeouts
End-to-end encryption for all data transfers
  • TLS 1.3: Secure transport layer encryption
  • Field-level Encryption: Sensitive data field protection
  • Key Management: Secure key storage and rotation
  • Zero-trust Architecture: Verify every connection
Meet regulatory and compliance requirements
  • GDPR Compliance: Data protection and privacy controls
  • SOC 2: Security and availability standards
  • HIPAA: Healthcare data protection (Enterprise tier)
  • Audit Logging: Comprehensive activity tracking

​
Access Controls

Role-based Access

Define user roles and permissions for different MCP resources and tools.

Resource Scoping

Limit AI model access to specific databases, APIs, or tool subsets.

Time-based Access

Configure temporary access windows and automatic credential expiration.

Audit Trails

Complete logging of all MCP operations for security and compliance.

​
Performance and Scaling

​
