MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Quick answer

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools, data, and prompts through a running server, so an agent can call real actions instead of only generating text.

MCP complements skills: a skill encodes a workflow (the how), while an MCP server exposes the tools that workflow needs (the what). Loreto can generate a skill plus a matching CLI + MCP from a single source.

Turn this into a skill your agent can run

Loreto packages any workflow or source into a production-ready Claude Code skill.
