CTD's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets you interact with your entire relationship graph from any AI assistant that supports MCP — including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and others. Instead of switching between apps, you ask questions in plain language and get answers drawn directly from your live network data.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that allows AI tools to call external services on your behalf. When you install the CTD MCP server, your AI assistant gains the ability to:
- Search for warm introduction paths to any person or company
- Look up contact and company details from your CTD workspace
- Find who on your team has the strongest connection to a target
- Draft and send ghost emails to your connectors
- Track job changes and follow up on relationship signals
Why use CTD via MCP?
The MCP integration is most powerful when you're already working in an AI chat window. Instead of opening CTD separately to look up a path, you can ask mid-conversation: "Who on our team knows someone at Acme Corp?" and get an answer instantly — then draft the outreach right there.
