Use MCP with Your Web IDE

This example shows how Genie can expose read-only FileMaker-aware context to an editor or assistant running on the same Mac.

Goal

Show how to enable Local MCP Bridge, copy the IDE JSON, and use the connection from a web IDE or assistant that supports MCP.

Suggested flow

1. Open Settings Guide.
2. Enable Local MCP Bridge.
3. Copy the generated IDE JSON.
4. Paste the config into the editor or assistant.
5. Show one read-only metadata or context lookup.

What to highlight in the demo

• that the bridge is read-only
• the resources Genie exposes
• the branded Genie tools available through MCP
• how this complements the in-app workflow instead of replacing it

Suggested media

• one short walkthrough video
• one screenshot of Local MCP Bridge settings
• one screenshot of the copied IDE JSON
• one screenshot of the external MCP client reading Genie metadata
