What is MCP and how does Little Bear Apps use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources and tools. Little Bear Apps builds MCP servers that let AI coding agents like Claude interact directly with services — for example, Outlook Assistant connects to Microsoft Graph for email and calendar management. MCP servers run locally, keeping credentials on your machine.
