# Overview

> Connect Animus to your AI tools via MCP

## What is MCP?

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. Animus provides an MCP server that gives your AI assistant direct access to your saved content library.

## How it works

1. **Add** the Animus MCP server URL to your editor or AI tool
2. **Sign in** with your Animus account when prompted (OAuth)
3. **Query** your saved content through natural language

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 — your editor handles the sign-in flow automatically. No API keys needed.
