Distilled AI's MCP Hosting: Expanding AI Agent Capabilities

At Distilled AI, we empower creators to build AI agents with high-level confidentiality while expanding their capabilities beyond standard language models. To achieve this, AI agents need efficient communication standards to interact with external tools and knowledge sources – this is where a protocol like Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in. By adapting innovative standards like MCP into our infrastructure, Distilled AI aims to expand for secure and extensible AI agent functionality as well as open the framework for external contributors.

What is MCP and How does it work?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized communication framework that enables AI agents to interact seamlessly with external resources, extending their capabilities beyond what a standard large language model (LLM) can do on its own.At its core, MCP operates on a server-client architecture to interact with LLMs:

• MCP Server: Handles execution tasks, such as retrieving external data and processing computations.
• MCP Client: Acts as a messenger between AI agent and the server, sending input and receiving output before passing them to the LLM.

This architecture paves the way for structured, secure, and efficient AI-data interactions. By streamlining how agents communicate with external systems, MCP clears the path for more capable, interactive, and user-friendly AI workflows.

Why Hosting MCP Servers?

Running MCP servers locally often comes with significant limitations: restricted availability, security vulnerabilities, and scaling resources to meet growing demands.Moving MCP Servers to the cloud offers multiple advantages:

• 24/7 Availability: Ensuring your AI agents have uninterrupted access to critical functionalities.
• Enhanced Security: Avoiding vulnerable MCP installations on local computers.
• Modular & Integrable Abilities: Accessing diverse MCP servers without hardware limitations.
• Community Support: Benefiting from open-source community developer and innovation.

Hosting MCP with Distilled AI: Unique Advantage

Beyond integrating MCP to our confidential infrastructure, we ensure it operates with maximum security, privacy, and usability. Our approach includes:

• Hosting MCP servers on Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) infrastructure: This ensures that AI agents operate within a highly secure and private environment, eliminates risks associated with local installations and safeguards sensitive data from unauthorized access.
• Making MCP servers compatible with AI agents wallet accounts. This integration enables seamless transactions, simplifying access to external tools and services without manual payment hurdles.

MCP Alpha Test coming in April 2025

We are gearing up for an alpha test in April 2025, offering creators the opportunity to integrate MCP Hosting into their workflows. By maximizing MCP’s potential, creators will unlock more tools, more utilities to build autonomous AI Agents for their businesses.Which agent utilities are you looking forward to the most?
