Why an MCP server
The Model Context Protocol is a standard way for AI agents to discover and call tools. By exposing Credicorp’s public knowledge as an MCP server, any compliant agent — a chatbot, a research assistant, a customer’s own copilot — can answer questions about our products accurately, from the source, instead of guessing. The endpoint lives on the public ring at /public/v1/mcp, so there is no credential to connect.
Read-only by design
Every tool reads; none writes. The server can tell an agent what products exist, what a quote might look like, and how to apply — but it cannot submit an application, change a tier, or move a penny. That boundary is deliberate and absolute: money movement and account actions never appear on the public ring, MCP included.
The tool set
- ListProducts — Business Loan, Credicorp Flex, Credicorp Slice.
- ProductDetails — full detail on one product.
- GetQuote — an indicative quote for an amount and term.
- EligibilityCriteria — the baseline a business must meet.
- HowToApply — the steps and what to prepare.
- LoyaltyTiers — the loyalty ladder (mirrors the REST endpoint).
Inspect them live with a GET on the endpoint (the server card) or a tools/list JSON-RPC call for full schemas.
Connecting an agent
Point any MCP-compliant client at the endpoint. It will initialize, negotiate the protocol revision, list the tools, and call them as the conversation needs. See the connect-an-agent recipe for a worked example.
Frequently asked questions
Can the MCP server apply for a loan on a customer’s behalf?
No. It is strictly read-only. It can explain how to apply and give an indicative quote, but it cannot submit an application or move money — those are off the public ring entirely.
Do I need credentials to connect an agent?
No. The MCP server is on the public ring, so any compliant client can connect without a key. It is rate limited by IP like the rest of the ring.
Where do I see the full tool schemas?
A GET on the endpoint returns the server card with a name and description per tool; a tools/list JSON-RPC call returns the full input schemas.
