# MCP server

Understand how an MCP server gives a plugin tools and access to external systems.

Copy Page

The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP) is an open specification for connecting AI clients to external tools and data. A plugin can include an MCP server when it needs to read live information, take actions, or integrate with another service.

The MCP server is optional. A plugin that only provides instructions and resources can consist of [skills](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/concepts/skills) alone.

## What an MCP server provides

An MCP server can expose:

*   **Tools:** Functions the model can call with structured inputs.
*   **Resources:** Data or content the client can read.
*   **Prompts:** Reusable prompt templates.
*   **Instructions:** Server-wide guidance for using its capabilities.

Plugins primarily use tools. Each tool has a name, description, input schema, and optional output schema. These fields help the model decide when to call the tool and how to use its result.

## How tool calls work

When a user asks for something that matches a tool:

1.   The client discovers the tools exposed by the MCP server.
2.   The model selects a tool and supplies arguments that match its input schema.
3.   The server validates the request, performs the operation, and returns a result.
4.   The model uses the result to continue the conversation.

Tool results should work without custom UI. Return concise text or structured content that gives the model enough information to answer the user. An MCP server can also return an optional UI resource for clients that support [MCP Apps](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/build/chatgpt-ui#start-with-mcp-apps).

## Transport and authorization

Deploy production MCP servers at stable HTTPS endpoints using the streamable HTTP transport. If tools access private data or perform actions for a user, protect the server with the authorization flow defined by the MCP specification.

For protocol details, see the [MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification). The [Python](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) and [TypeScript](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk) software development kits provide server implementations and helpers.
