What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect to external platforms. In Mighty Networks, MCP lets your AI assistant access content and perform actions based on your account permissions. For example, you might ask:- “Summarize the activity in the community over the past week.”
- “Summarize my unread notifications.”
- “Make a new draft multiple choice poll for me to approve.”
