**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect directly to your applications and data. Eka's MCP server exposes your EMR — patients, appointments, prescriptions, doctor and clinic data — so your AI can act on it, not just talk about it.

Instead of copy-pasting patient names or manually creating appointments, just ask your AI assistant and it handles it end-to-end.
