Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Connect Particl's retail intelligence directly to your AI workflow. Query competitor data, analyze trends, and surface insights — all through natural language.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external data sources and tools. Instead of copying and pasting data into a chat, MCP gives your AI direct access to live information.

Particl's MCP server is a hosted service that exposes our retail intelligence platform as a set of tools that AI assistants can call. No local installation required — just point your AI client at the Particl endpoint with your API key. This means you can ask questions like "What are the top-selling products in athleisure this month?" and get answers backed by real Particl data.
