MCP

Model Context Protocol: an open standard that lets an AI assistant (such as Claude, Cursor or Codex) call tools on another service and get structured answers back. ZopNight runs an MCP server with more than 300 tools; reads follow the caller's role, and writes stay off until the organisation opts in. Why it matters: It lets engineers ask cost questions in the AI tool they already use instead of switching to a dashboard.
