Personal MCP agent: let AI tools query you
A personal MCP agent is a Model Context Protocol endpoint that answers as a specific person. Cortex provides /mcp/{username} with tools such as query_person, get_profile, get_expertise_on, and get_communication_style.
Why MCP matters for personal AI
Agents already call tools. Without a personal endpoint they guess your voice from a short system prompt.
MCP lets those agents pull judgment from your Cortex brain, under the access rules you set.
What you need
A Cortex profile with enough onboarding and sources to answer honestly.
An API key for the agents you trust, or a public profile if anyone may ask.
The MCP setup steps in the developer docs at makecortex.com/docs/mcp. MCP is included on every paid plan.
