MCP in both directions
AdminThe Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open interface between AI and tools. CompanyWizard uses it in both directions — it consumes external tools and exposes its own knowledge base as a tool.
Inbound: bringing tools in
Section titled “Inbound: bringing tools in”CompanyWizard connects to MCP servers that provide additional tools — database queries, API integrations, file operations. In the chat the AI calls these automatically when needed. Connecting them is described in Connect an MCP server.
Outbound: exposing your own knowledge base
Section titled “Outbound: exposing your own knowledge base”In the other direction, CompanyWizard can be an MCP server itself: external MCP-capable clients (e.g. coding assistants or other AI tools) thereby access your knowledge base in a controlled way — reading and targeted writing through clearly defined tools.
Crucial: this access is RBAC-protected too — the same role, department and confidentiality rules apply as in the app (RBAC & confidentiality levels). So an external client never sees more than its stored identity is allowed to.
Why this is useful
Section titled “Why this is useful”- One knowledge base, many tools: your knowledge base becomes the shared source — inside and out.
- A standard instead of a silo: MCP is vendor-independent; you are not tied to a single tool.
