</Info>

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a lightweight service that exposes Atoti's analytical capabilities to external Large Language Model (LLM) clients. It acts as a bridge between an Atoti data model and AI tools, enabling dynamic, context-aware interactions.

## What does the MCP server provide?

The MCP server provides the following capabilities:

* Query Atoti cubes, hierarchies, and measures through an LLM client
* Call custom tools that encapsulate business-specific logic
* Connect to any MCP-compatible LLM client, such as Claude Desktop

## Why use the Atoti MCP server?

* Use Atoti's analytical capabilities from external AI tools without modifying the Atoti application
* No vendor lock-in: works with any MCP-compatible LLM client
* Standardized protocol eliminates the need for custom integration code
