    What is an MCP server? The definitional answer for AI-agent builders

    An MCP server is a program that exposes tools, data, and prompts to an AI model over the Model Context Protocol. This guide defines the term plainly, separates an MCP server from a plain API, maps the six capability classes the protocol specifies, and shows where Devotel Orbit's shipped MCP surface sits.

    What is a Customer Data Platform (CDP)? Profile vs workflow, defined

    A customer data platform (CDP) builds one resolved customer profile from every channel and every event, then activates that profile into segments, scores, and journeys. This guide defines the term, walks the identity-resolution pipeline, contrasts a native CDP with an installed one, and shows where Devotel Orbit's tenant-owned CDP controls sit.

    What is omnichannel messaging? One account, one sender identity, one timeline — defined

    The definitional answer to the category's head term. Omnichannel messaging means every customer-facing channel — SMS, voice, email, WhatsApp, RCS, wallet, USSD — runs on one account with one sender identity and one conversation timeline. This guide defines the term, separates it from multichannel, maps the channels and the unified read model on Devotel Orbit, and says when a single channel is the right answer.
