Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for extending Saarthi's capabilities by connecting to external tools and services. MCP servers provide additional tools and resources that help Saarthi accomplish tasks beyond its built-in capabilities, such as accessing databases, custom APIs, and specialized functionality.
