What is MCP?
MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external tools, data sources, and services in a consistent way. Instead of writing a custom integration for every tool a model might need, developers expose that tool through an MCP server, and any MCP compatible client can then call it. This reduces the number of one-off integrations needed as agents connect to more systems. Anthropic introduced MCP, and it has since been adopted by other model providers and tool builders.
