MCP: how an AI works with the real game
MCP is a safe interface between an AI and the game. The game server holds the money, ships, markets, and actions. The AI cannot simply say "you now have a million credits" and change reality. It can request data and pass a permitted command. The server checks the rules and either performs the action or explains the refusal.
MCP is not an AI model. It is the way a model gets access to the game's tools. The chat history is not what matters here: if it is lost, the company stays where it is.
