Model Context Protocol (MCP) handbook
Connect AI to your docs instead of pasting them into chat
The Model Context Protocol connects AI assistants to your codebase, issue tracker, design files, and component docs, so answers come from your real sources instead of the model’s memory. This guide shows how to set it up and use it well.

How it works
How MCP supplies context from connected tools
1Connect MCP servers for your repo, tracker, design files, and docs.2Ask the assistant in plain language, as you would a teammate.3Use server responses to guide the change using what the servers return.4Review and apply the change, with sources you can check.
With Syncfusion components
Set up the Syncfusion MCP server for your framework
Connect the Syncfusion MCP server and the assistant reads current component APIs instead of guessing from training data. The guide covers setup for each framework.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Model Context Protocol?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between AI agents and your tools. It connects assistants to your codebase, issue tracker, design files, and component docs, so answers come from your real sources instead of the model’s memory.
What’s inside the MCP guide?
It’s a free PDF with five chapters. It explains why AI development needs MCP, how to connect MCP servers to your assistant, and how the AI plans with live context. It then covers framework setup for React, Angular, Blazor, and JavaScript, and combining MCP with agent skills.
Who is the guide written for?
It’s written for platform teams, security leads, developer experience teams, and integrations teams.
How do BoldCreate agents use MCP servers?
Admins approve MCP servers once for the organization, and agents in the Cloud Agent, the Desktop App, and the CLI can then call them. Each tool call is logged with the task that made it.
