# What does MCP mean in Storage Studio's settings?

MCP stands for **Model Context Protocol** — an open standard AI tools use to connect to apps and the information they help you with. Because Storage Studio supports it, any assistant that also supports MCP can read your storage picture through the same simple setup.

You don't need to know the details: the **Connections** tab in Settings gives you a ready-to-paste snippet for your assistant.
