## What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets you connect our knowledge base directly to your favourite AI tool. Instead of copy-pasting information, your AI assistant can search and read vACA documentation on its own - giving you accurate, up-to-date answers about our operations, procedures, and policies.

## What you can do

Once connected, you can ask your AI tool questions like:

* "What are the activity requirements for vACA pilots?"
* "How do I submit a <Tooltip tip="Pilot Report" cta="See glossary" href="/aops/additional-resources/glossary/pirep">PIREP</Tooltip>?"
* "What aircraft are available in the fleet?"
* "Walk me through the rank transfer process"
* "Show me the A320 before-start checklist"
* "What are the emergency procedures for an engine failure after V1?"

Your AI tool will pull the answers directly from our documentation, so the information is always current.
