# Cortex MCP The [Cortex MCP](https://github.com/cortexapps/cortex-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol server that brings your engineering data into the tools your team already works in, enabling natural language queries across your catalog, Scorecards, metrics, and Initiatives. It provides: * **Natural language querying** - Ask questions in plain English rather than constructing API calls directly * **Contextual awareness** - Maintains awareness of your workspace's structure when answering questions, so responses are grounded in your org's actual data * **AI-assisted insights** - Synthesizes Eng Intelligence metrics, Scorecard status, ownership, and initiative data into actionable recommendations * **Cross-tool availability** - Surfaces inside the tools your team already uses, making it an in-workflow intelligence layer rather than a standalone API * **Prompt-driven workflows** - Supports complex, multi-part queries that combine data from multiple Cortex systems in a single response * **Documentation querying** - The remote MCP implementation includes a `query_docs` tool that lets you ask questions against Cortex's own documentation and knowledge base in natural language ## Cortex MCP overview More of a visual learner?
