MCP (Model Context Protocol)
MCP is a shared set of rules that lets an AI agent connect to another program, see what that program can do, and ask it to do specific things.
What MCP means in plain words
An AI agent on its own can read, write and think things through. MCP gives it a standard way to connect to another program: the program lists what it can do, and the agent asks for one of those things at a time. The program decides whether to allow it.
How Volant uses MCP
MCP is the connection that lets your agent use Volant, right on your computer. Your agent can ask what is due, get the client details and files for one job, and hand its finished work back to be saved. Volant checks what comes back, and anything it sends or publishes still waits for you.
The agent Volant connects this way is Claude Code.
