# AI Verde MCP servers

AI Verde **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Servers** provide a crucial bridge, allowing **Generative AI Agents** and large language models (LLMs) to securely and intelligently interact with the rich data and computational resources of CyVerse Infrastructure.
This mechanism enables AI workloads—such as RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications, advanced chatbots, and data analysis pipelines—to access research datasets stored in the **CyVerse Data Store** and utilize other key services.

The [MCP servers contents](https://unm-carc.github.io/cyverse/ai/mcp/) page lists the configuration guides for general MCP clients, Claude Desktop, and VS Code.
