The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a new way to connect Brinker’s disinformation data to popular AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude — without requiring users to leave their current environment.
It allows users to ask questions through a familiar chat interface, and get answers grounded in their organization’s own data — without extra steps, tools, or training.
What MCP Actually Does
LLMs are generalists. To be useful in specific settings — like disinformation analysis — they need context.
MCP’s job is to provide that context, without overloading the model or the user. It listens to the ongoing conversation, selects the most relevant information from Brinker's data environment, and feeds it to the model in a format it can understand.
The result: better answers, more consistency, and clearer sourcing.
Here it is in action:
Key MCP Behaviors
MCP changes how AI assistants behave in a few specific ways:
Conversations stay coherent across longer threads. The AI can follow up on earlier questions without drifting off topic or losing track.
Only relevant context is delivered, which helps the model avoid generalizations or confusion. Responses stay grounded.
Every answer includes clear citations. This helps with trust, review, and compliance, especially in sensitive or regulated environments.
Who Can Use Brinker's MCP?
Our MCP is intended for Brinker's clients like analysts, who want to ask direct questions and get useful answers without spending time collecting or formatting data. or Reviewers and stakeholders, who benefit from traceable sourcing and consistent outputs.
MCP is a protocol that connects Brinker’s data with common LLMs, through the interfaces teams already use. It simplifies how users access threat insights — not by introducing a new tool, but by making existing tools more capable.
There’s no retraining. No new app. Just a quieter, simpler way to ask better questions — and get grounded answers.
