AI Agent Integration

MCP Connector

Enable AI agents to call your APIs without custom integration code. Bridge Model Context Protocol to standard HTTP with built-in security.

The Protocol

What is Model Context Protocol?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way for AI agents like Claude and GPT to discover and invoke external tools. Instead of writing custom integration code for each AI platform, MCP provides a universal interface that any compatible agent can use.

The problem: Your internal APIs speak REST, GraphQL, or legacy protocols. AI agents speak MCP. Bridging this gap typically requires building and maintaining custom MCP server implementations for each backend service.

Traditional Approach

Write custom MCP server wrappers for each service, manage authentication separately, maintain translation logic as protocols evolve.

Harmony Solution

Harmony acts as a protocol translator between MCP and your existing HTTP APIs—no backend changes required. Configure once, support all MCP-compatible agents.

Architecture

How MCP-to-HTTP works

Protocol translation happens automatically through Harmony's pipeline architecture.

Any HTTP Service

The pipeline accepts MCP-formatted requests, applies security controls, transforms them to HTTP, and forwards to your backend.

Capabilities

Bridge AI to any backend

Protocol Translation

Automatically convert MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 to standard HTTP requests without writing code.

Zero Backend Changes

Expose existing APIs to AI agents without modifying your backend services.

Security by Default

IP allowlisting, rate limiting, and content validation protect your APIs from unauthorized access.

Declarative Transforms

JOLT specifications handle request/response mapping through configuration, not code.

Multi-Agent Support

Works with Claude, GPT, and any MCP-compatible AI agent or platform.

Audit Logs

Track all AI-to-backend interactions for compliance, debugging, and monitoring.

Use Cases

What you can build

Let Claude, GPT, and other AI agents call your internal APIs as tools.

Data Access for AI

Provide AI assistants with real-time access to your data without custom integrations.

Workflow Automation

Enable AI agents to trigger backend processes and orchestrate complex workflows.

Enterprise Search

Power AI-driven search across internal systems with unified API access.
