Role
Model Context Protocol standardizes how language-model applications discover contextual resources, reusable prompts and executable tools without hard-coding every integration into the model interface.
Use
Electronic Artefacts can use MCP as a reference for tool boundaries, consent, context exposure and graph-scoped runtime integrations in VASTE.
