MCP Overview
How KorClaw governs Model Context Protocol servers and tool calls.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. KorClaw sits between your agent and MCP servers, adding identity verification, policy evaluation, approval gates, and audit logging.

KorClaw implements MCP tool discovery and invocation using JSON-RPC protocol version 2024-11-05 over HTTP/SSE transport. For protocol specification details, see https://modelcontextprotocol.io. KorClaw adds governance layers on top — it does not implement the full MCP server or client specification.
