## AI overview

This guide explains how to build and deploy MCP servers on Heroku using Heroku Managed Inference and Agents. It describes MCP as a standardized way for AI applications to provide context to large language models and connect them with data sources and tools. The guide covers SDK support, server registration, unified access through the MCP Toolkit, external client access, on-demand scaling, and code isolation.

## Source excerpt

Agents hold immense power, but their true potential shines when they connect to the real world, fetching data, triggering actions, or leveraging external tools. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a standardized way for AI agents to do this. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP [...] The post Heroku AI: Build and Deploy Enterprise Grade MCP Servers appeared first on Heroku.
