# Introduction

Create MCP tools in seconds. Run them serverless. Connect any AI assistant.

MCP Functions is a platform where you describe what a tool should do, AI generates the code, and the tool is live immediately - no servers, no deploys, no infrastructure. Your tools work with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and every other MCP-compatible client out of the box.

## How It Works

| Step         | What happens                                               |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Describe** | Tell the AI what your tool should do in plain language     |
| **Generate** | AI creates the code, parameters, name, and description     |
| **Test**     | Run the tool with sample inputs right in the dashboard     |
| **Publish**  | One click — the tool is live on your MCP server            |
| **Connect**  | Any MCP-compatible assistant discovers and calls your tool |

## Key Capabilities

| Capability             | Details                                                        |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AI tool generation** | Streaming or agent mode, auto-generates name, params, and code |
| **Manual coding**      | Full code editor when you need custom logic                    |
| **Secrets & OAuth**    | Workspace-level encrypted secrets and OAuth2 token injection   |
| **Sandbox execution**  | Isolated VM per call, timeouts, HTTP limits, blocked patterns  |
| **Versioning**         | Publish, roll back, view history                               |
| **Team access**        | Organizations, workspaces, roles (Owner / Admin / Member)      |
| **Dashboard**          | Invocation stats, activity feed, country-level usage           |
| **Full MCP protocol**  | `tools/list`, `tools/call`, `resources`, `prompts`, `logging`  |
