  • What is Ably MCP?

    The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that provides a unified way for AI applications to connect with external tools and data sources. Instead of building custom integrations for every service, MCP provides a standardized interface that allows AI models to discover available tools, understand their capabilities, and execute them safely and securely.

    With Ably MCP integration, you can:

    • Dynamically discover tools: Your AI agents automatically find and understand Ably's available capabilities through the MCP server
    • Standardized integration: Use a consistent protocol instead of learning platform-specific APIs
    • Real-time capabilities: Tools are loaded and executed on-demand during conversations
    • Secure execution: Maintain proper authentication and isolation through ChatBotKit's MCP implementation
    • No custom coding: Leverage Ably's functionality without writing integration code

    How Ably MCP Works

    ChatBotKit's MCP action provides a powerful way to dynamically extend your AI agent's capabilities by loading tools from Ably's MCP server.

    Connect to MCP Server

    ChatBotKit establishes a connection to Ably API endpoints, initiating secure communication.

    Discover Available Tools

    The system automatically discovers all available Ably tools and their schemas through the MCP protocol.

    Load Tool Definitions

    Tool definitions are loaded into your conversation context, making them available to your AI agent.

    Execute Securely

    Your AI uses these tools as if they were native abilities, with secure execution and proper authentication.
