Definition

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for AI agents to invoke external tools. Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Devin can connect to MCP servers and call their tools while writing code.

Skene as an MCP server

Skene runs as an MCP server that the agent calls before committing. The agent gets back a structured report of any analytics drift it just introduced, so it can fix the issue without a separate review loop.
