Add Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for IRIS

Adding Model Context Protocol (MCP) support to your data platform enhances integration capabilities , real-time data access, and scalability while reducing development time and improving security. This investment ensures your platform remains future-proof and capable of delivering context-aware AI solutions.

This would allow a standardised interaction with IRIS from an LLM to :

  1. Resources: File-like data that can be read by clients (like API responses or file contents)

  2. Tools: Functions that can be called by the LLM (with user approval)

  3. Prompts: Pre-written templates that help users accomplish specific tasks

As an MCP server IRIS can expose specific capabilities that an LLM can ustilise in its thinking. This is a stepping stone that can help streamline building agentic AI solutions using IRIS.
