MCP

Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external tools and data sources. The Branch MCP server gives AI assistants structured, machine-readable access to the Branch Public API documentation — enabling them to browse endpoints, retrieve schemas, search guides, and execute API calls without manual copy-pasting from web pages.
