Message Control Protocol Server
Overview
While direct API calls work for simple scenarios, a Message Control Protocol (MCP) server provides superior orchestration for complex AI agent workflows. Think of it as an intelligent traffic controller that optimizes communication between agents and external services.
For a practical implementation example, see our Universal Assistant tutorial which demonstrates how to use MCP for coordinating multiple AI tools and data sources.
