Support for MCP will allow developers to integrate Genie Code with third-party tools, such as Jira, GitHub, Confluence, and Notion, and trigger tasks like training models or troubleshooting pipelines directly from the systems they already use, while automatically updating results back to those platforms, Jain said.
