MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard protocol that allows AI models to call external tools and services. MCP servers expose capabilities (like database queries, file operations, or API calls) that AI assistants can use to complete tasks.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It defines how AI models interact with external tools and services.
With GitHat, MCP servers authenticate using OAuth2 client credentials. They first verify domain ownership via DNS, then exchange client credentials for short-lived access tokens.
Verification prevents impersonation. When an AI agent calls a tool, it can check GitHat to confirm the MCP server's domain is verified and trustworthy.
