MCP
The Model Context Protocol lets an agent call tools that live on a remote server. Coresource supports two arrangements, and the difference is who runs the MCP client.
| Hosted connection | Local server | |
|---|---|---|
| Client runs on | Coresource | Your process |
| Credential held by | Coresource, encrypted | Your process |
| Survives your process exiting | Yes | No |
| Can reach your private network | No | Yes |
| Configured with | mcpServers | registerMcpServer() |
Hosted connections keep credentials out of your process and survive it exiting, which makes them right for third-party SaaS. Local registration is right when the server can only be reached from inside your network.
MCP is configured on agent and saga types; it does not apply to one-shot.
