What MCP Enables
When an application is MCP-enabled in HyperStudio, Claude and other AI tools gain powerful capabilities to interact with your internal systems.
Core Capabilities
Query Internal Application Data
AI can retrieve data from your application's data models using structured queries. All data access is validated and controlled through the tools you define.
Example: Claude asks "Show me last quarter's revenue"
-> MCP tool: get_revenue_summary(quarter: "Q4", year: 2024)
Execute Approved Actions
Define specific actions AI is allowed to perform. Each action is a tool with clear parameters and validation rules.
Example: Claude executes "Create a new expense report"
-> MCP tool: create_expense_report(title: string, amount: number)
Power Dashboards & Reports
AI can generate insights, summaries, and visualizations by combining data from multiple tools in your application.
Natural Language Interaction
Users interact with internal systems using conversational language. Claude translates intent into structured tool calls.
Every interaction goes through explicit, structured tools you define. If a capability isn't exposed as a tool, AI cannot access it.
