What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol that standardizes agent-to-tool and agent-to-system communication. MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform MCP support allows organizations to convert existing Mule applications and APIs into agent-ready assets with minimal changes, enabling agents to discover and invoke them. This ensures more accurate results with real-time business context, reduces hallucination risks, and scales operational automation.

Why MCP?
Standard Protocol for AI Agents
MCP is an open standard that allows agents to discover and invoke business actions securely. It reduces the need to write separate adapters for each agent and eases agent access to internal data, services, and business processes.
Exposing Existing APIs and Systems to Agents
With MuleSoft MCP support, existing Mule applications and Anypoint-managed APIs can quickly become MCP servers, enabling agents to directly interact with enterprise tools.
Security, Scalability, and Management
Implementing MCP with access controls, policy enforcement, and central management provides enterprise-grade secure, auditable, and reusable agent integrations.
Core Features of MuleSoft MCP Support
Connector-based MCP Implementation
MuleSoft uses a connector-based approach to make existing Mule applications and integrations agent-ready, allowing fast conversion with minimal coding.
Supported Systems
Supports exposing both internal and external systems, including NetSuite, SAP, custom on-prem systems, databases, and third-party SaaS.
Secure and Scalable Connection
Agent access is secured and scalable via access authorization, policy enforcement, monitoring, and central management on the Anypoint Platform.
Fast Conversion and Deployment
APIs and integrations can be converted to MCP server assets in one or few clicks, minimizing complex configuration requirements.
Real-World Examples
Inventory Management Agent
MCP aggregates stock information from Salesforce, NetSuite, and local databases under a single context, enabling smarter restock suggestions and order decisions.
Customer Support Agent
An agent can securely invoke internal CRM and service systems via MCP to respond to customer queries, update delivery schedules, or create service requests, providing personalized, actionable support.
Developer / Automation Agent
A developer agent can detect the right API from the catalog and initiate new integrations or automated tasks, accelerating repetitive integration work.
Enterprise Self-Service & Knowledge Base Access
Opening internal knowledge bases and applications via MCP allows agents to deliver self-service automations, enhancing operational efficiency.
Governance, Flex Gateway, and Agent-to-Agent (A2A)
Governance for Agent Interactions
MuleSoft provides governance features for agent interactions, defining centrally which actions agents can take, what data they can access, and how they are monitored.
MCP and Agent2Agent Support with Flex Gateway
MuleSoft Flex Gateway supports MCP and Agent2Agent (A2A) protocols, enabling standard API policies, monitoring, and logging on these endpoints.
Policy Enforcement and Traceability
Policies are enforced at the gateway and platform levels with access control, rate limiting, and audit logging, allowing agent activities to be monitored and controlled.
Benefits and Impact
More Accurate Agent Behavior
When agents access real business context, the risk of incorrect or hallucinated responses decreases, leading to more precise decisions.
Reusability and Speed
Once APIs/integrations are opened via MCP, they can be reused by multiple agents, accelerating adaptation to new agent scenarios.
Centralized Governance and Compliance
Privacy and compliance requirements (e.g., data protection regulations) are managed via the platform, reducing risks.
Getting Started
Cataloging and Prioritization
First, catalog existing APIs and Mule applications and prioritize according to agent use cases.
Quick Pilot
Select a critical use case, convert it as an MCP server, and test security, access, and workflow in the pilot.
Governance and Operations Model
Define gateway policies, access control lists, and monitoring/alert mechanisms; assign agent roles and permissions.
Scaling and Reuse
If the pilot succeeds, catalog MCP assets and share them with other agents/project teams to create reusable components.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an emerging protocol that standardizes agent-to-tool communication, making it easier for agents to discover, authorize, and perform actions in enterprise systems.
