No. The [Catalyst MCP Server](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/ai-toolkit/catalyst-mcp-server/overview/) is designed specifically to let your LLM interact with and perform operations in the Catalyst console directly from your coding environment. Once connected and authorized, your LLM receives the context it needs through the configured [MCP tools](https://zoho-mcp-manual-tool-guide.onslate.in/zoho-services/catalyst-by-zoho) and can carry out your prompted actions without switching interfaces.
