​🎯 Before MCP, every AI tool needed a separate custom integration for every database, API, or external service. MCP solves this with one standardized protocol.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 that allows AI assistants to connect to external tools and data sources through a common interface. For InterSystems IRIS developers, this means giving tools like Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot controlled access to SQL, globals, class methods, source code, and interoperability productions.

Three MCP primitives

👉 Tools — functions the AI agent can call: write to a database, call APIs, modify files
👉 Resources — read-only data sources: file contents, database schemas, API documentation
👉 Prompts — pre-built instruction templates that structure how the AI uses specific tools and resources

Two recommended IRIS integration approaches

👉 InterSystems Python Native SDK — best for data operations, globals, SQL, and calling existing ObjectScript class methods without rewriting them as separate AI services
👉 Atelier REST API (/api/atelier/) — source code access, text search across the codebase, compilation, development workflows

iris-mcp-blueprint demonstrates all three MCP primitives against a live IRIS instance using both approaches: SQL queries, global access, class method calls, source code retrieval via Atelier, and interoperability production inspection.

Community projects already available: mcp-server-iris, intersystems-objectscript-mcp, iris-mcp-atelier, servAI, IRIS MCP Server Suite, and InterSystems IRIS AI Hub.

MCP does not replace existing IRIS APIs or business logic — it provides a standardized interface on top of them. 👇
