Technology Foundation
RedStem builds on Anthropic's Claude platform and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Two reasons: trustworthy AI and a practical integration architecture.
Why Claude
Claude is designed for organizations that prioritize data protection and risk management while gaining strong analytical capabilities.
- No training on customer data by default — API inputs and outputs are never used for model training. Human review is limited to safety and abuse prevention only.
- Enterprise controls without ecosystem lock-in — SOC 2-aligned controls, encryption, SSO, and contractual data handling commitments without requiring Microsoft 365 or Azure-only infrastructure.
- Strong analytical and reasoning capabilities — Effective for long-document analysis, multi-step reasoning, and producing clear, executive-ready outputs.
- Fits security-conscious organizations — A practical starting point for firms that need AI capabilities but cannot compromise on data handling.
Why MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that defines how AI systems connect to business context—systems, data, and tools—without fragile integrations or vendor lock-in.
- Open standard for connecting AI to business systems — MCP provides a clean, standardized way for AI to access business context through a controlled intermediary.
- Anthropic authored and leads MCP development — Claude offers the most mature, production-ready support for MCP servers today.
- Clean separation between AI and your data — Rather than embedding access logic directly into the AI, MCP creates clear boundaries and controlled access.
- Future-proof architecture — Because MCP is open and vendor-neutral, you can adopt new models over time without rewriting your integration strategy.
Bottom Line
Claude's advantage is not just capability—it is how safely and cleanly it connects to the systems that run your business.
This reflects a philosophy RedStem aligns with: AI should adapt to the business, not force the business to adapt to AI.
