What’s the difference between the Ern API and MCP?

Ern offers two ways to access protocol data:

  • the public REST API, which is best for traditional app, backend, dashboard, and analytics integrations

  • the MCP server, which is best for AI assistants and MCP-compatible tools

Both expose Ern protocol data, but they are designed for different integration workflows. The REST API is HTTP endpoint-based, while MCP is tool-based for assistant environments.
