Along with sources (information, docs, knowledge), they’ll expose instruments (API integrations, actions) and prompts (templated interactions),” he added. “Safety is constructed into the protocol — servers management their very own sources, there’s no have to share API keys with LLM suppliers, and there are clear system boundaries.”
Anthropic mentioned that builders can begin constructing and testing MCP connectors at the moment, and current Claude for Work clients can take a look at MCP servers connecting to inside techniques and knowledge units.
