What is MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that creates standardized connections between AI applications and external services. When connected, AI tools can search TechnologyChecker documentation during response generation, not just when you explicitly ask.Direct source access
Searches indexed documentation directly instead of relying on web search results that might be stale or incomplete.
No search noise
Bypasses SEO and ranking algorithms. Goes straight to documentation content.
