# Model Context Protocol (MCP)

> Connect external tools and data sources to Traycer using MCP

## What is MCP?

**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** enables Traycer to securely connect to external tools and data sources, allowing your agents to access them at runtime. You can configure custom MCP endpoints to extend your agent's capabilities.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Traycer support local MCP servers?">
    No, Traycer only supports remote MCP servers. Local MCP servers are not supported at this time. If you need access to tools that don't provide direct remote MCP endpoints, consider using [Composio](https://mcp.composio.dev), which offers many local MCP integrations as managed remote services. This includes 250+ tools like Gmail, Slack, Notion, and Linear with built-in authentication.

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are MCP servers shared across my organization?">
    Only if you add them to your organization account. MCP servers added to your personal account are private to you. When you add an MCP server to your organization account, it becomes available to all organization members. Similarly, disabling any organization-level MCP server or tool will disable it for everyone on your team.
