# Crush for AI Agents (MCP)

For power users: Crush exposes its data engine to AI tools through the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** — the open standard for connecting AI assistants to live tools and data.

Connect Claude (or any MCP-capable assistant) to Crush and your AI can:

* Query the indicator engine directly
* Explore setup templates and their measured histories
* Run and read backtests as part of a conversation

This is entirely optional — the app needs none of it. But if your workflow already runs through an AI assistant, Crush is built to be part of it.

See [Using MCP with Claude Code](/documentation/getting-started/mcp-claude-code.md) for the quickstart.
