Field notes
The system models each integration as an app with a manifest, typed tools, permissions, interfaces, storage, authentication, and lifecycle controls rather than as a single text-returning function. Station handles instance management, while Gateway MCP translates the protocol for existing clients. The page gives a concrete local setup on port 4100 and shows an example calendar call returning structured availability data in 218 ms.
