Extend AionUi with MCP Tools (Model Context Protocol)
MCP tools let your AI agents talk to databases, APIs, and internal systems. AionUi makes it easy to plug them into your daily workflows.
What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
Model Context Protocol is a way to expose tools—such as databases, web APIs, or file systems—to AI models in a structured and secure way. Instead of pasting data into prompts, the model can call tools that fetch or write data on demand.
Why connect MCP tools to AionUi?
- Richer workflows – Let AI query live systems instead of static text.
- Less copy‑paste – Reduce manual data transfer between tools.
- Repeatable actions – Define tools once and reuse across sessions.
High-level setup steps
- Choose or implement an MCP server for the tools you need.
- Follow the MCP configuration guide in AionUi.
- Register your MCP server, including command, arguments, and any environment variables.
- Test tools from within a conversation to confirm everything works.
Example use cases
- Querying business metrics from a data warehouse.
- Syncing tasks with project management tools.
- Triggering internal workflows through HTTP APIs.
