# Klarety MCP

Klarety <Term id="mcp">MCP</Term> is how the AIs in your <Term id="studio">Studio</Term> work with Klarety. It is built in for Klarety AI and your own tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, connected by default with nothing to install.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI use tools. Klarety MCP gives your AI tools for your <Term id="workspace">workspace</Term>, so you can ask Claude Code to query a table just as you would Klarety AI.

## What it lets your AI do [#what-it-lets-your-ai-do]

Every AI in your Studio can work with your:

- <Term id="table">tables</Term> and SQL on [Nexus, your database](/docs/data/tables)
- files and folders
- connections
- deploys
- agents

## Always with your own access [#always-with-your-own-access]

Your AI acts as you: it reaches exactly what you can, and nothing more.

- If you cannot see a table, your AI cannot see it either.
- If a teammate opens their own AI in the same Studio, it works with their access, not yours.
- When an admin changes your access in [Data access](/docs/data/data-access), your AI's access changes with it.

So an AI can work freely in your Studio without getting more than you have.

## Where to see it [#where-to-see-it]

Open **MCP & Skills** in the sidebar, under **Connect**. Under **MCP connectors**, **Klarety MCP** shows **Connected by default**.
