Overview and definitions

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?: MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open, standardized protocol designed to connect AI models — such as LLMs and AI assistants — to external tools, data sources, and services in a unified, flexible, and secure way. For more information, see modelcontextprotocol.io.
What is Reltio MCP Server?: Reltio MCP Server is an implementation of MCP that allows AI agents and LLMs to securely access trusted, real-time data in the Reltio platform.
How does it work in simple terms?: MCP acts as a universal connector — like an API for AI agents — that allows developers to enable AI systems to access Reltio data without building custom integrations or RAG pipelines.
What problem does it solve?: It simplifies access to real-time, governed enterprise data for AI agents. This reduces integration complexity and accelerates AI time-to-value.
How does Reltio use MCP internally?: Reltio is adopting MCP to unlock contextual data for AI agents and to enable intelligent, automated data operations within the platform.

What are agentic capabilities?: Agentic capabilities refer to the ability of AI agents to independently perform tasks — like claim processing or sales planning — by interacting with data and systems.
What are Data Governance Agents?: These are AI agents that automate data management functions such as match resolution, change requests, and data quality tasks, reducing human involvement.
Will MCP Server replace existing Reltio features?: No. MCP augments the Reltio platform by enabling more advanced, intelligent, and autonomous workflows alongside existing automation.

When will Reltio MCP Server be available?: The Developer Edition is available starting May 8 in our Bitbucket repository: reltio-mcp-server-developer-edition. The Reltio-hosted Enterprise Edition will follow later.
What is the Developer Edition?: An open-source, self-hosted version of MCP that allows customers and partners to start experimenting with agentic applications.
Is there a cost associated with MCP?: The Developer Edition is free. The Enterprise (cloud-hosted) edition is subject to a platform fee. Contact your Reltio Account Executive for pricing.

What is the value of MCP Server?: MCP is a foundational capability for AI-powered operations. It enables customers to securely automate complex tasks using trusted data, accelerating innovation and reducing operational costs.
How does MCP relate to Reltio's data graph?: The data graph organizes trusted, contextual data in the Reltio platform. MCP Server allows AI agents to query and act on this graph in real time.
Why is MCP important to Reltio's future?: MCP is central to Reltio’s AI strategy. It provides customers with tools to power intelligent, automated applications using governed, real-time data — anchoring Reltio in the agentic AI era.
