# Model Context Protocol (MCP)

MCP lets your chatbot use external tools to perform tasks instead of only providing text-based answers. The MCP connector is the main component that powers this integration.

You can add and manage these tools through a straightforward interface. To keep the chatbot efficient and prevent information overload, the system automatically identifies and loads only the most relevant tools for each user request.

With these tools, your chatbot can perform specific actions, such as the following:

* Retrieve organization IDs.
* Fetch subscription details.
* Troubleshoot account issues.
* Process or download error logs.

To configure the MCP, follow these steps:
