NCP - Natural Context Provider (NCP)
NCP is a unified MCP platform that consolidates 50+ tools, skills, and Photons into a single, intelligent interface. It enables code-mode execution, on-demand loading, scheduling, and semantic tool discovery, dramatically reducing token usage and latency while enabling AI assistants to work with external MCPs, skills, and Photons. This documentation covers how NCP works, the available MCPs and tools, installation and integration steps for popular clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, and more), and practical examples that demonstrate how to find, run, and compose tools across MCPs. Whether you’re building with internal MCPs or exploring external tools, NCP provides a scalable, vendor-agnostic foundation for AI-powered automation and tool orchestration.
Playwright MCP
Playwright MCP server. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides browser automation capabilities using Playwright. This server enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with web pages through structured accessibility snapshots, bypassing the need for screenshots or visually-tuned models. The server is designed to be fast, lightweight, and deterministic, offering LLM-friendly tooling and a rich set of browser automation capabilities via MCP tools. It supports standalone operation, containerized deployments, and integration with a variety of MCP clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Copilot, Cursor, Goose, Windsurf, and others).
