Introduction

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is one way Arif can connect to approved tools and data sources. In Qriib, MCP is surfaced through Plugin Hub and administrator-reviewed connector configuration.

Why MCP Matters

MCP lets organizations extend Arif without changing the public chat experience. A connected server can expose tools, resources, or prompts that Arif may use when the user has permission and policy allows it.

Public Model

Key Benefits

• Extend Arif with approved business systems.
• Keep tool access governed by permissions and safety policy.
• Add read-only context sources for better answers.
• Add specialized tools for reviewed workflows.
• Avoid exposing connector details to everyday users.

User Experience

Users do not need to understand MCP to use Arif. They ask for the business outcome, and Arif uses the tools available to their account and organization.
