Question

A development team wants Claude to read from their company's internal Postgres database and query their ticketing system. They plan to build reusable connectors so that multiple AI applications inside the company can access these same data sources without each app re-implementing the integration. Which approach aligns with the purpose of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Accepted Answer

Build MCP servers that expose the database and ticketing system, so any MCP-compatible client can connect to them through a standard protocol

Answer

Embed the full database contents into every prompt's system message so Claude always has the data available

Answer

Increase the max_tokens parameter so Claude can generate the database records from memory

Answer

Use higher temperature so Claude creatively infers the ticketing data without a connection
