Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

FAQ

Questions CORDIS — European Commission owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key to use this MCP?

    No, this MCP runs keyless against the public CORDIS search API, so you don't need to manage credentials.

  • 02

    Can I find information on Horizon 2020 projects?

    Yes, the MCP includes data from Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, ERC, and earlier programmes.

  • 03

    How can I find the budget for a specific project?

    You can use the get_project_factsheet capability to retrieve the exact EU contribution and total cost for a project.

  • 04

    Is the data available in English?

    Yes, you can use the search_content_by_language capability to ensure you only receive results in English.

  • 05

    Can I search for technologies that are ready to be bought or licensed?

    Yes, the search_results capability is specifically designed to find exploitable results like technologies and prototypes.

  • 06

    Does this MCP list open funding calls I can apply to?

    No. CORDIS records funded projects and their outcomes, not open calls. Open calls live on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. Use this MCP to study who was funded in your domain (topics, budgets, coordinators) and to source partners; then check the Funding Portal for live calls.

  • 07

    Do I need an API key, and why do results come in several languages?

    No key needed. CORDIS is fully public. CORDIS publishes content in many EU languages and the search index interleaves them; use search_content_by_language (e.g. language="en") or the language parameter on search_news_articles to keep a single language.
