Ana + Model Context Protocol (MCP)

What Ana does with it.

Ana SDE runs inside your editor - chat, plan and let the agent build, with your approval at each step.

01
Plug internal APIs, databases, docs and SaaS tools into Ana through MCP servers
02
Ana calls MCP tools and reads MCP resources as part of its plan
03
Every MCP call is shown and runs one at a time, only after you approve it
04
Server config lives in a settings file and reloads live when you edit it

Setup

Connected in four steps.

1
Pick a server
Use an existing MCP server for your tool, or wrap an internal API in one.
2
Add it to Ana
Declare it under mcpServers in Ana SDE’s MCP settings - command, args and env. Edits reload live.
3
Ana discovers it
Ana lists the server’s tools and resources and can plan with them.
4
Approve each call
Every MCP tool call or resource read is shown first and runs one at a time with your approval.

In practice

Playbooks that use Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Software

Upgrading a framework across dozens of services

A major framework or runtime version is going end-of-life and it touches every service. Ana plans the migration, upgrades each service in its own branch, fixes what breaks, and hands your team small, tested pull requests instead of one terrifying diff.
