What is MCP and why does it matter?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants call external tools and data sources directly during a conversation. Instead of you running a DNS lookup and pasting the results into the chat, the AI does it automatically in context — then reasons about the results as part of its answer. DomainScan’s MCP server exposes all 50+ tools as callable functions.
