MCP for EventCatalog

Feature: EventCatalog Pro Feature

EventCatalog supports the MCP protocol. You can connect your MCP clients (e.g Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop) to EventCatalog instances. Ask questions about your architecture, get schema information for your services and messages, and more.

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?​

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
