title: "Glean vs. Off-the-Shelf MCP: How the Right AI Context Layer Reduces Token Costs and Drives Better Results"

Glean's platform offers an AI context layer that outperforms off-the-shelf Multi-Context Provider (MCP) tools. It leverages centralized indexing and knowledge graphs to ground AI models in a company's specific information. This approach is more efficient than federated MCP tools, which can be less effective at retrieving relevant context. Consequently, this method reduces token consumption by 30% and delivers AI-generated responses that are rated 2.5 times better.
