QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solutions innovator, today announced support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) across QNAP NAS systems, alongside the beta release of MCP Assistant—a natural language interface purpose-built for NAS management. With MCP Assistant, you can use issue plain-language commands to perform common NAS tasks such as creating shared folders, managing users, or monitoring storage—without navigating complex interfaces or remembering technical syntax.

As MCP rapidly emerges as a key standard for enabling AI models to interact with real-world systems, developers and enterprises worldwide are adopting MCP Hosts such as Claude Desktop. Tools like Visual Studio Code and n8n are increasingly being used to integrate AI agents into broader automation workflows. By embracing MCP early, QNAP empowers IT professionals and content creators with a smarter, more intuitive way to interact with their NAS systems—using natural language.
