Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standardized protocol that enables AI agents to interact with external tools and services in a secure and verifiable way. It provides a unified interface for AI models to access various capabilities like web browsing, file operations, and external APIs, while maintaining security and auditability.
Why MCP server should host in TEE?
MCP servers should be hosted in TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) for several critical reasons:
- Privacy Protection: TEE ensures that sensitive data and computations are encrypted and isolated from the rest of the system, even from the cloud provider.
- Verifiable Execution: Every computation in TEE can be cryptographically verified, ensuring that the code runs exactly as intended without tampering.
- Secure Communication: TEE provides end-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest, protecting against man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Trust Minimization: By using TEE, users don't need to trust the server operators or cloud providers, as the execution environment is cryptographically secured.
