Agent Platform
Integrate your applications with AI-powered operations agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
What is Agent Platform?
Agent Platform runs autonomous AI agents that handle operational workflows — processing invoices, triaging tickets, managing accounts. Each agent has a set of tools (skills) it can invoke to take action in connected systems.
External applications integrate with Agent Platform by exposing their capabilities as MCP tool servers. Agents discover available tools at runtime and invoke them through a standardized protocol, with built-in approval gates and escalation policies to keep humans in the loop.
Architecture
The platform sits between your LLM-powered agents and your backend services.

How MCP Works
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data. It uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP and defines two key operations:
tools/list
Discovery. The agent asks your server what tools are available. Your server returns tool names, descriptions, and JSON Schema input definitions.
tools/call
Execution. The agent invokes a specific tool with arguments. Your server executes the action and returns the result.
tools/list and tools/call methods.Quick Example
Here's what a minimal MCP tool server response looks like for tools/list:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"tools": [
{
"name": "save_csv",
"description": "Save parsed invoice data as a CSV file",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"filename": { "type": "string" },
"rows": {
"type": "array",
"items": { "type": "object" }
}
},
"required": ["filename", "rows"]
}
}
]
}
}
