MCP Server

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard that connects AI applications to external systems. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications—it provides a standardized way for AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to access data sources, tools, and workflows.

With MCP, your AI copilot can connect directly to Geins Commerce Backend, enabling it to understand our features, suggest the right tools for your project, and even scaffold code tailored to your specific needs. This transforms your AI assistant into a knowledgeable partner that understands the Geins ecosystem and can help you build faster and more effectively.

Agentic assistance

When you need help to build a feature, you can ask the MCP server to scaffold the code for you or suggest the right tool for the job.

Developer-friendly experience

Use the MCP server in your copilot to get help with your Geins projects. If you need help to build a custom experience for your customers, the MCP server can help suggesting the right features and tools to use.

The MCP server comes with a set of built-in tools that you can use to get help with your Geins projects.
