+## 🚀 Genkit MCP Server: Model Context Protocol Integration
+
+The **Genkit MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server** bridges your Genkit projects with external AI tools and development environments. It exposes Genkit flows and functionalities via the Model Context Protocol, allowing **LLM agents** and **IDEs** to discover, interact with, and monitor your application.
+
+> **Note:** The Genkit MCP server is an experimental feature and may change.
+
+---
+
+### What It Does
+
+The MCP Server enables external tools to:
+
+* **Discover Flows:** List all available Genkit flows, including their input schemas.
+* **Run Flows:** Execute Genkit flows by providing inputs and receiving outputs.
+* **Access Traces:** Retrieve and analyze detailed execution traces for performance insights.
+* **Look up Documentation:** Access Genkit documentation directly.
+
+---
+
+### Available MCP Tools
+
+The following tools allow MCP-aware environments to interact with the Genkit server:
+
+| Tool Name | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| **`get_usage_guide`** | Fetches the Genkit AI framework usage guide (specifiable by language). Intended for AI assistants. |
+| **`lookup_genkit_docs`** | Retrieves Genkit documentation (specifiable by language and files). |
+| **`list_flows`** | Discovers and lists all defined Genkit flows with their input schemas. |
+| **`run_flow`** | Executes a specified Genkit flow, requiring `flowName` and a JSON `input` conforming to the flow's schema. |
+| **`get_trace`** | Retrieves the detailed execution trace for a flow using a `traceId`. |
