Whenever an SCP anomaly is discovered, teams of undercover Foundation agents (often called Mobile Task Forces) are deployed to either collect and transport the object to a Foundation facility, or to contain it at its location of discovery if transportation is not possible. Their existence is hidden and withheld from the general public in order to prevent mass hysteria, and allow human civilization to continue functioning normally. If left uncontained, many of the more dangerous anomalies will pose a serious threat to humans or even all life on Earth. They include living beings and creatures, artifacts and objects, locations and places, abstract concepts, and incomprehensible entities which display supernatural abilities or other extremely unusual properties.
Despite its secretive premise, the Foundation is entrusted by governments around the world to capture and contain various unexplained phenomena that defy the known laws of nature (referred to as "anomalies", "SCP objects", "SCPs", or colloquially "skips"). The Foundation is an international secret society, consisting of a scientific research institution with a paramilitary intelligence agency to support their goals. The fiction centers around the findings and activities of the SCP Foundation. The SCP universe has inspired numerous adaptations and fan-made works in widely varying forms of media, including drama, novels and video games. The wiki's literary works have been praised for their ability to convey horror through a quasi-scientific and academic writing style, as well as for their high standards of quality. The website also contains "Foundation Tales", which are short stories featuring various characters and settings in the SCP universe. On the SCP Wiki, the majority of works consist of thousands of SCP files (short for "Special Containment Procedures"), which are confidential quasi-scientific reports that document an SCP object and the means of keeping it contained. The real-world website is community-based and includes elements of many genres such as horror, science fiction, and urban fantasy. Within the website's shared universe, the foundation is responsible for capturing and containing various paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena unexplained by mainstream science (known as "anomalies" or "SCPs"), while also keeping their existence hidden from the rest of global human society. The SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization documented by the collaborative writing wiki project of the same name.
