Building intelligent applications requires powerful, cost-effective AI. Today, we’re simplifying that process by making Amazon’s cutting-edge Nova models directly available via Heroku Managed Inference and Agents . Provisioning these models is as simple as attaching the add-on to your Heroku application, providing a direct, managed path for developers and businesses to leverage a new class of powerful and cost-effective AI models with unparalleled simplicity.

Agents hold immense power, but their true potential shines when they connect to the real world, fetching data, triggering actions, or leveraging external tools. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a standardized way for AI agents to do this.

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
