## Adding MCP support to your application
|
||
|
||
If you've added MCP support to your application, we encourage you to submit a pull request to add it to this list. MCP integration can provide your users with powerful contextual AI capabilities and make your application part of the growing MCP ecosystem.
|
||
|
||
Benefits of adding MCP support:
|
||
- Enable users to bring their own context and tools
|
||
- Join a growing ecosystem of interoperable AI applications
|
||
- Provide users with flexible integration options
|
||
- Support local-first AI workflows
|
||
|
||
To get started with implementing MCP in your application, check out our [Python](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) or [TypeScript SDK Documentation](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk)
