# Overview

> Connect AI tools to your Lanten workspace using the Model Context Protocol.

The Lanten MCP server lets you connect AI tools — such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf — directly to your Lanten workspace. Once connected, your AI assistant can read and manage issues, tenants, and units on your behalf.

## What you can do

With the Lanten MCP server connected, your AI assistant can:

* Search and retrieve maintenance issues
* Create and update issues
* Look up tenants and units
* Check issue status and priority

## How it works

The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources and services. Lanten exposes its data as MCP tools, which your AI assistant can call during a conversation.
