What is MCP?

MCP 3 related

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. An MCP server describes what it can do in a format any compatible assistant understands, so Claude or another agent can discover the tools and call them directly, without anyone writing integration code.

How MCP works

A service runs an MCP server that exposes its capabilities as named tools, for example "create a publish job" or "list connected accounts". An AI assistant connects to the server, reads the tool list, and calls whichever tool the task needs. The protocol handles the plumbing; the API behind the server does the actual work.

MCP and social publishing

MCP is what turns "an AI that can write posts" into "an AI that can publish them". An agent connected to a publishing MCP server can draft a caption, schedule the post, and check its status, all inside one conversation. InvisibleAPI ships with an MCP server: agents authenticate with an organization API key using MCP scopes, or through OAuth 2.1 with a consent screen.
