What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that links AI models to external systems—enabling them to understand context, access tools and data, and execute real tasks through an MCP Host. Instead of being just conversational tools, AI models can now interact directly with systems, perform operations, and return actionable results—evolving from passive responders to active agents.
Why is MCP support a game-changer for QNAP NAS?
Traditionally, NAS management required navigating web interfaces or using command-line tools—barriers for non-technical users. With QNAP MCP Assistant, you can simply express your request naturally and get things done.
Save time by talking to your NAS!

Real-world scenarios
IT Administrator
Tom often needs to check NAS storage status. Now, he simply types into Claude Desktop: "Do I have enough storage on my NAS? Show me a chart of disk usage." MCP Assistant instantly returns a visual summary—no dashboard digging required.
Security Analyst
Mei needs to monitor for suspicious login attempts. Instead of searching logs manually, she asks: "Were there any failed login attempts on my NAS recently?" MCP Assistant returns a filtered log summary, so Mei can focus on threat response.
Small Business Manager
Angela’s schedule is packed. Instead of logging in to create user accounts, she enters a request: "Help me create a new NAS account for today’s new hire." MCP Assistant creates the user automatically—no desktop required.
