MCP (Model Context Protocol)
An open protocol that lets AI assistants securely use external tools and data sources — like your gallery platform.
MCP standardizes how AI applications (Claude and others) connect to outside systems: the system exposes typed tools, the assistant calls them with the user's permissions, and the protocol carries the plumbing.
In practice it means the AI tools you already use can read and act on your gallery — search inventory, draft an offer — governed by the same permissions and confirmation gates as the in-app assistant, rather than by pasted exports.
