# Overview

> Practical recipes for using AI assistants with Vistaly's Model Context Protocol integration

The MCP Cookbook provides step-by-step recipes for leveraging AI assistants like Claude to supercharge your product discovery and strategy work in Vistaly.

<Tip>
  New to Vistaly's MCP integration? Start with the [Model Context Protocol setup guide](/documentation/integrations/model-context-protocol) to connect your AI assistant.
</Tip>

## Why This Works

Vistaly structures your product work as a connected graph. Insights link to opportunities. Opportunities link to outcomes. Everything is connected.

AI can walk through that graph and actually have the context it needs to be immediately useful—way different from thousands of transcripts sitting in a folder.
